Phillip, So far have not been able to connect this David with any of the Rankins in Edgefield, SC or in TX. The key may be learning who he came to TX with, though I haven't found any clue to that as yet.Also don't know what he was up to after 1836 until he married Mary Jane Nelson. Her father, John Nelson, was dead by 1850 and mother Lucretia Harrison Crowson gone bef she married David. David and Mary were certainly in Wilson and Gonzales counties; Dime Box and Cuero areas.David died sometime in 1880's and is supposedly buried in a cemetery that is now on private land.Mary died in Giddings, Lee Co. in 1920's.Their daughter, Zella m. George Alva (Al) Conner, hence my husband's relationship to the Rankins.
It has been a long time since I have worked on this so will give it another try and see if anything new comes to light.
