Edward McShane (1751-1796) had no son named David
Jean M. Hoffman, CG
David McShane, child of Edward,
did not exist. The name must be a confusion of the very similar cursive look of
David and Daniel. The marriage to Sarah Cook and death date are those of
Daniel. The origin of David’s birth year is not documented in the Waits
articles.
