David Liles was born in Lunenburg County, Virginia. He married Eunice Bedford (b. 1755/60), daughter of Jonas Bedford and Mercy Travis Raymond. David died after 1834, probably Carroll County, Tennessee. He fought in the Revolutionary War. His record follows, as found in pension claim, S. 4544, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War:
"David Liles was born August 13, 1755, on the Meherrin River, county and state not shown, and when very young moved with his father to Pittsylvania County (the part which was later Henry County), Virginia, and lived there for ten years; his father moved then to Craven County, South Carolina, David accompanied him and after residing there for five years, moved to Rutherford County, North Carolina.
