David is described as David Stowell of Newton, Mass. in seven Middlesex County Deeds 1717 to 1724, as David Stowell of Pomfret, Conn. in nine Pomfred Deeds 1732 to 1745, as David Stoel of Pomfret in two Ashford deeds 1740 to 1749, as David Stoel of Windham, Conn. in three Windham deeds 1745 to 1751, as David Stoel of Windham in two Pomfret deeds in 1751, as David Stoel of Willington, Conn. in fourteen Willington deeds 1752 to 1763. The name is spelled Stowell in three Newton and Andover marriage records.

David Stowell and his wife joined Hampton Church, 5 September 1742.

David Stowell selling dwelling in Newton, Mass., 26 Oct. 1724. (Midd. Deeds) As his wife Patience died, 1 October 1724, five days after giving birth to Ebenezer, this sale may have been of his homestead prepatory to moving to Pomfret, where his name appears in 1725.

Administration granted John Herrington, eldest son, 10 August 1741, on estate of John Herrington of Waltham. (Midd. Probate) In the division 13 November 1741, it states "we cannot find that the children of Patience Herrington, deceased, the late wife of David Stowell, have received anything saving nine pounds paid their mother in her life time."

David Stoel was undoubtedly a man of great energy and activity as is evidenced by his numerous purchases of land, frequent removals to new localities, etc.
