After marriage lived at Ipswich (Hamlet), where their two sons were born. Anna Low, born 22 December, 1719, "per S.A. Ranlett"; died Amherst, 3 April, 1782. David joined Wen. Church, 31 October 1742. he deeded, 27 November, 1750 to John Low, cooper, of Ipswich, for L400 his house, barn and about 60 acres (Probably in Wenham), bounded n. on Mill River, Ips. Also to Jacob Dodge, of Wenham for L138, 36 ac. woodland and pasture, and to Joshua Dodge, of Beverly, blacksmith, for L133, about 15 acres at Turtle Pond pasture.
His occupation, if he had any, is unknown; but he is said to have been a man of property by his father's will, and entertained largely, but became financially embarrassed and accepted a commission in the old French war. In the expedition to Canada, while attempting to run the Otsego Falls, New York, the bateau he was in upset, and all on board were drowned. (Date of this event unknown or not recorded).

His estate was reported insolvent, 15 December, 1756, and Anna Dodge was appointed guardian of her two minor children, David and Samuel.
His widow went to Pomfret, Conn., where she kept a school 15 years, and boarded in the family of Gen'l Putnam. She afterwards went to Amherst, NH, and lived with her son Samuel, till her death (of a cancer on the tongue), April 3, 1782, ages 63 years.
