Note: David remained in Virginia in Sinking Creek in Giles county. Perhaps those Nidas near Roanoke, Virginia are his descendants.
David Nida was 66 years (born about 1794) in Alleghany Co., Virginia (post office: Covington) in the 1860 census. His wife Marie had died; at least she was not listed with the family. Living at home with David were daughters Delila 31 and Mary A. 17. The three of them listed personal assets: David $145.00. Delila $130.00 and Mary A. $135.00. Interestingly, they did not own any real estate.
