Son of Griffith Cahill and Mary McQueen.
David's father died in 1830 and David did the work on the farm. He began at the age of 6 years and continued until his mother remarried. At the age of 18, David started in life for himself and worked out as a farmer for a few years, and then entered the employment of a merchant for one year. He then engaged in river traffic, running as far south as New Orleans. He continued until October 17, 1861, when he was married to Julia A. Worley. After his marriage he settled on a farm, where he remained until 1870, when his wife died. Soon afterward, on the failure of his health, he disposed of his property and came to his "native heath." He soon settled in Leesville, where he remained. In politics he was a Republican and was an earnest supporter of that party. He was a self-made man, and has made an excellent success financially.
