It would appear these aren't my Davids; they came from Bohemia in 1852.
They lived for some time in Grant County, Wisconsin, where some Davids
of other origins also lived. They must have done it just to confuse us!

Joseph David, b. Bohemia on 8 May 1824, d. Wingville Township, Grant
Co., Wisconsin, 1912
married to a Mary or Mary Ann (?) who died between 1880 and 1890 per
US Census, may not have been first wife
emigrated bout 1955
Son Joseph David, b. Bohemia 24 April 1852, d. Killdeer, Dunn County,
North Dakota 9 March 1927
married Julia Martin b. Highland, Iowa County, Wisconsin, 19 April
1855, d. Killdeer, Dunn County, North Dakota, 4 January 1935

My brick wall is in Bohemia and is built of exceedingly strong brick
