From a book entitled Genealogical and Family History of the State of New Hampshire, Volume 3: Otho Stevens, Jr., the fifth son of Otho and Abigail Kent Stevens, was born in 1726 in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and was taken in his childhood by his parents to Hampstead, New Hampshire, where he grew up. He enlisted in 1759 for the French Indian War, in Captain Jacob Bayley's company of Colonel Zaccheus Lovewell's regiment, which marched under command of Lieutenant Colonel Goffe for the reduction of Fort Niagra. They went by way of Dunstable, Worester, Springfield and Albany. While at Oswego, Captain Bayley made this entry in his journal: "Friday, Septembe 21, 1759, about to o'clock in the afternoon, died Otho Stevens, of a long and tedious illness, of 22 days, much lamented by his rlations and friends, he being a loving brother and a faithful friend." He was married at Hampstead in 1752 to Abigail Emerson, who was born March 20, 1737, daughter of Benjamin and Hannah Watts Emerson of Hampstead. She married (second) December 28, 173, to Deacon David Morrill, of Canterbury, whither she moved with the surviving children of her first marriage. Decon Morrill died June 10, 1799, and his widow survived him thirty-four years, passing away June 30, 1833. Her children by Otho Stevens were: Abiah, Jacob (who died young), Simeon and Jesse. By Deacon Morrill, she was the mother of Rueben, Hannah, David, Betsey, Sarah, Abigail and Ruth.

David purchased lot 193, first division of 100 acre lots in 1768, and in 1770, home lot 136, east of his father's house. Here he evidently settled.
