Biography

David Singer's father, John Singer, died in York county in 1792, when David was two years old, leaving him the youngest of a family of orphans. Of these Samuel and Susannah were children by his first wife, while Christiana, Barbara, John and David were full brothers and sisters by the second wife. Their mother afterwards married a Mr. Prowell, who belonged to a Philadelphia family.

Susannah and David were followed to Cambria county by two of the other children, Samuel and Christiana. Samuel was the founder of the Singer settlement in Jackson township. He is the grandfather of ex-Register and Recorder James M. Singer, of Jackson township.
