Some of this is referenced in his son Jim's [https://www.newspapers.com/image/296538438 obit] As per other kin, David was introduced to the Brethren while in the old country, and there was evidently an assembly in or near fellowship at [[Phillipsburg Gospel Hall, NJ|Phillipsburg where he was in fellowshipGospel Hall]], and may have given him a commendationhome meeting, whether initial or supplemental to one received thru an assembly in Scotlandfor a period of time. In the early 1930's, he and Agnes moved to Hendersonville, [[North Carolina]] where he was in fellowship with an assembly in Asheville for a number of years.

As per Agnes' obit, she was latterly a member of [[Mansfield Gospel Hall, OH|"Mansfield Gospel Hall"]], so it is presumable that when a new assembly was started in 1959 under that name, with the assistance of itinerant Norman Crawford (who also was instrumental in starting nearby [[Clyde Gospel Hall, OH|Clyde Gospel Hall]] in 1960, that David and Agnes both transferred to the new Mansfield Gospel Hall as co-founders.
