David Fink
Born: Abt. 1756
David Fink was born about 1756 in Pennsylvania.
When the 13 British Colonies of North America declared war on Great Britain in 1775, David Fink joined the cause and became part of the American Revolutionary War.
Britain imposed a series of taxes followed by other laws that proved extremely unpopular. Because the colonies lacked elected representation in the governing British Parliament, many colonists considered the laws to be illegitimate and a violation of their rights as Englishmen.
David enlisted 3 separate times during the course of the war. He enlisted as a Private on Feb 1775 for one year in the state of Pennsylvania in the company commanded by Capt. John Miller of the 5th Regiment. On August 1776 he enlisted for three years in the Pennsylvania German Regiment in the company commanded by Capt. Philip Grable. In May 1782, David enlisted in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, and served until the end of the war. During this third term of service, David fought in the battles of Germantown and Brandwine.
David married Rosena (Unknown). Rosenna was 14 years younger than David. She was born about 1770.
After the end of the Revolutionary War, David moved to North Carolina. He was living in Mecklenburg County, NC, at the time of the 1790 Census. The census shows that he and Rosena had 3 children. 1790 Mecklenburg County Census

(2) Elizabeth (Unknown)David appeared in open court before the Court of Pleas in Rowan County at the Court House in Salisbury on Monday, August 1818. He was a resident of Cabarrus County and was requesting provision due to him as a result of his service in the American Revolutionary War. Earlier in 1818, an Act of Congress decided to provide provisions/pensions to those who had served in the war. He re-applied in 1822 and 1824. In 1824 David listed his occupation as farming, but owing to a "sore leg" which he received in the U.S. service during the Revolutionary War, he was unable to work and stated that his leg was growing worse each year.
