  1. 1.  PULSIFER David was born on 17 Jan 1778 in Ipswich, Essex Co., MA; died on 19 Jul 1814 in Boston, Suffolk Co., MA.

    Notes:

    David moved to Boston when young and according to tradition, worked
    on the Constitution when it was being built. He was probably
    apprenticed to his maternal grandfather, Nathaniel Perkins of
    Ipswich, a shipwright, and learned his trade there. About the time of
    his marriage, he took up the business of housewright, which he
    continued until his death. David was said to have built many
    important buildings and blocks of stores. His death is said to have
    been hastened due to anxiety expecting the outcome of an important
    contract for building a block of stores on India Street or Wharf.
    After his marriage, he lived on Levette Street where his first child
    was born. About this time he bought a lot of land on Brooks Street
    in Charlestown from Leonard Colburn. On this he built a house,
    possibly for a home. On Feb. 10, 1807, he mortgaged this house to his
    brother Ebenezer for $1200.00. In 1808 he placed a second mortgage on
    the same property in favor of Ebenezer for $500.00 On Sept. 11, 1811
    he did something for $2000.00; however the page was torn and we can
    not determine what this was. His wife did not join in the deed, but
    on Nov. 9, 1829, after her second marriage, she waived her right of
    dower for $100.00 in favor of George T. Granger, husband of Lucy
    Parsons Pulsifer, daughter of Ebenezer Pulsifer and to Joseph P. and
    Ebenezer Pulsifer, sons of Ebenezer.
    David moved to Temple Street in 1805 and to Milk Street in 1809 where
    he died.

    of Typhoid fever, bur. Copps Hill Cem.
