David's boyhood days were spent in Muskingum and Morgan Couties in Ohio. At age 14, he went with his family taking the rivers for route to Muscatline, Iowa and then by wagon to Palo, Iowa, where his parents went to work making a earnest living. Prosperity followed their labors, which enabled David to live in a better home and attended better schools as compared to what they had in Ohio. David married Elizabeth and they lived on a farm near his parents for 18 years. In 1878, David moved his family to Nebraska and took a homestead in the Platte River Valley near Lowell. The soil on this landed proved to be of poor quality as their crops failed inpart due to drought and hail damage. They left this land and rented some land nearby to farm for several years. David was succesful with this farm and was able to develop his own friut farm 11 miles outside of Kearney, Nebraska.
David was the son of James and Thankful (Carter) Blackburn. He married Elizabeth Richards, daughter of Daniel and Sarah Ann (Lewis) Richards, on May 7, 1860 in Palo, Linn County, Iowa.
