Notes:

David moved from Virginia, where he was born, to Fayette County, Pennsylvania where he married his second wife, Isabel Long. He removed about 1827 to near Brownsville, and Dunlapsville, Indiana. He was remembered for the way he dressed: David Honeyman wore the conventional dress of Revolutionary times; standing collar, frock over-coat and leggins, all of a buckskin shade, and tall beaver hat. He rode on horseback and carried saddle-bags. On the Fourth of July there could be expected a rally of the oldest citizens at the town of Dunlapsville where a platform would be erected for thirteen of the oldest men. When the Declaration of Independence was read, and speech-making indulged in, David Honeyman, a patriotic Democrat, would take his share in the proceedings. He had a characteristic saying "This is a cold wet rain", and the saying became a byword. His neighbors would say: "It's one of Dave Honeyman's rains." David left Brownsville in 1864, and resided in New Boston, Illinois. (Source: Marie Wilson Musgrave, "The Honeyman Family", July 1995, pg. 9)

One who remembers him well writes: "David honeyman wore the conventional dress of Revolutionary times, viz., standing collar, frock over-coat and leggins, all of a buckskin shade, and tall beaver hat. He rode on horseback and carried saddlebags. I, as a boy, knew him by this dress and his patriotism. On the Fourth of July there could be expected a rally of the oldest citizens at the town of Dunlapsville where a platform would be erected for thirteen of the oldest men. when the Declaration fo independence was read, and speech-making indulged in, David Honeyman, a patriotic Democrat, would take his share in the proceedings. I remember a characteristic saying of his that "This is a cold wet rain," and the saying became a byword. His neighbors would say: 'It's one of Dave Honeyman's rains.' His son William J., was also a welll-dressed, conventional young man in those early days."
