The first one appears to have come from France. That would be:
Josue' David born abt 1640 La Rochelle, France. He married Maria
Traverrier who was born abt 1645, Probably in France.
These are the notes for this man:

Jean and JosuÈ David, represented "one of the best families of
LaRochelle:
a family," according to La France Protestante, "not less distinguished
by reason of the positions which its members have filled, than eminent
for the services it had rendered." In 1572, Jean David, "pair ducor
ps de ville," was appointed with two others to visit England, for the
purpose
of soliciting the help of Queen Elizabeth, and of hastening Montgomery's
departure with the promised fleet for the relief of the besieged city.
In 1628, Jacques David, who had twice been mayor, was sent with
Philippe Vincent
upon a similar embassy to Charles II, and succeeded in influencing
the king to sign a treaty with the Protestants.
Jean and JosuÈ David came to New York after the Revocation.

In the autumn of the year 1686, a body of French Protestants,comprising
forty or fifty families, arrived in New England, and established
themselves
in the territory now covered by the State of Rhode Island. The
settlement
was a promising one. Of all the bands of Huguenot emigrants that came
to our shores at this period, the Narragansett colony was perhaps the
most compact and homogeneous. Its history, notwithstanding, is a
brief and melancholy one. Within five years from the time of its
foundation,
the colony was broken up, and nearly every family had sought a home
elsewhere.
It was the misfortune of these refugees to become involved in a
controversy that was then in progress, having reference to the
ownership of the lands upon which they settled. ...
The site thus secured for a settlement is still pointed out, in the
town of East Greenwich, Rhode Island. Here, in a locality that has
always been known as "Frenchtown," there are traces of the
foundations of a number of small houses;...
Most of them (persons who made up this colony of refugees) have
already been mentioned in connection with the Huguenot emigration
from these abord provinces of western France. Ten of the forty-eight
families named in the "plot" or plan of the settlement, were from
Saintonge; ten were from La Rochelle and its vicinity; several were
from Poitou, a few were from Normandy, and a few from Guyenne....
The roll of the Narragansett settlers, headed by CarrÈ, Berthon,
andAyrault, embraces the following names:... Jean David,...JosuÈ
David senior,JosuÈ David junior, ...
The summer of the year 1691 witnessed the breaking up and removal of
all the families in Frenchtown save two or three....
Upon leaving Narragansett, the refugess became widely scattered. The
largest number sought homes in New York. Twenty-one names upon the
plan of Frenchtown reappear in the records of the French Church in
that city.These are the names of Bouniot, Coudret, Jean David, JosuÈ
David senior,JosuÈ David junior, ...
