David was a sailor of Boston. His wife Susanna was licensed to sell strong drinks in Boston in 1727, according to the "Boston Selectmen's Minutes, 1716 to 1736". So, David Jr. would have been 19 years old at this time.
Records show that David Jr. was a resident of Pomfret, Windham, Connecticut. He married in Pomfret, 2 October 1740. He would have been 32 years old. He married Elizabeth Stoel (Stowell). Who was born 21 August 1719 in Newton, Massachusetts, a daughter of David Stowell and Patience Herrington. Their children born in Pomfret area: (Information from Probate Court Record 9).

When the first church was organized in October 1773, son David and Elizabeth Pulsipher were among the first nineteen members and later David joined with others in presenting the town with the land which, for a century and a third, has been occupied by the old meeting house and the burying ground adjoining.
Directly after the battle of Lexington, tidings of the event were sent to Rockingham, as well as all surrounding towns and so David with his son John joined a band of Patriots gathered on both sides of the Connecticut River. On the morning of 21 April 1775, they were assigned to Captain John Marcy's Company in Colonel James Reed's Regiment, which took an active part in the battle of Bunker Hill. It was believed that David was killed at this battle as he never returned home and his fate was never known. He may have died of disease in the War. His wife and family remained in the old log cabin several years keeping it as a Public Tavern. (See Zerah Pulsipher's history for other details)
After the first church, organized in 1773, was discountued in 1839, he Record Book, as well as the Communion Service, the Table cloth and one napkin were preserved by members of the Pulsipher family to whom much credit is given for their faithful care.
John Pulispher who was born 8 July 1749, (the father in Zerah), married Elizabeth Dutton. She was born 18 December 1751 in Lunnenburg, Massachusetts. She was the daughter of Thomas Dutton and his first wife Mary Hill. She was a descendant of the Thomas Dutton and his wife, Susanna who settled in Reading, Massachusetts and are the fourth great-grand parents o our "Beloved Prophet Joseph Smith". This same Dutton family are said to be the family of Dutton's who came to Chester, England in 1066 with William the conqueror.

John Pulispher, a grandson of John and Elizabeth, states in his history, that his grandmother Elizabeth, died on 2 December 1838 of "persecutions in a land of Liberty".
