I don't know the names of Richard David's children. I suppose Richard David of Hardin Co Ky was the same one who owned land in North East TN, and who, I suppose, was the same Richard David from NC, but I can't say for sure.
I descend from Edward David whose children (or at least some of them) were living in Hardin Co Ky concurrently with Richard David. A connection might be inferred because of this fact, but the reason some of Edward's children were there could have also been because their grandfather/step-grandfather, John Robertson, was living there. Whether or not Richard David of Hardin Co Ky was the same one that owned land in TN, I still suspect that he is closely related to Edward David.
Where in Fulton Co Ill did your ancestors live? There were two lines of Davids living in Fulton Co; one descending from a David family out of TN and the other line descending from Daniel David of Ohio. I'm pretty sure these two lines were more closely related than first appearances make it seem.
One of my ancestors, William Robertson, owned land in Vermont City, Fulton Co Ill, and lived in Fulton County ILL from time to time. He died there in 1876. His grand daughter, Amanda Stevens, married Lewis Marion David in Cass County Mo in 1884. Lewis M David was the great-grandson of Edward & Ann David.
I vaguely remember seeing the name "Mattingly" in the Fulton Co census. Are they the ones you refer to?
