David was still living in Jeffreys Township when the 1910 census was taken. He was married and had two daughters and an adopted son by 1910. David and his family were enumer- ated in the 1910 census as follows:

This census indicates that neither David nor his wife Mary had been married previously. They had been married for seven years, which places their marriage about 1902 or 1903. Mary had given birth to two children and both were still alive in 1910. These were clearly Estelle and Mildred. David still owned his own farm, and it was still free from mortgage.

David Conner was not found enumerated in the 1920 U.S. census. This census was searched for anyone named David Conner who was born in South Carolina and living anywhere in the U.S. Only two David Conners were found in the 1920 census who were born in South Carolina. Both were living in South Carolina, both were listed as white, and neither was the cor- rect age to be our David Conner.

The possibility that David had died between 1910 and 1920 was considered. The 1920 census was searched for anyone with the surname Conner in Florence County with the hope of finding David's widow or daughters, but they were not found.
