Vawter is the orphan child of George W. Vawter her father and his wife Mary E. Vawter that the mother died 12 Apr 1885 and the father died 18 Sep 1887. It said that Cora E.

The court granted the petition to adopt as heir in law and changed her name to Cora E. Kessler. (Note: this is why there has been difficulty in located any records under the name Vawter)

PANOLA COUNTY, TEXAS DEEDS, VOLUME A, Page 82:
LUCINDA VAWTER, resident and owner of land in the Duboise Survey, made Bond for $1000.00 to operate a Ferry at Grand Bluff across the Sabine River, 18 January 1847.

Note: David Vawter served in the Revolutionary War as a member of Captain Ambrose Madison's Company of Foot in the Regiment of Volunteer Guards at the Barracks in Albermarle county. He served from January 17, 1779 to June 1, 1779. (source: Virginia Magazine of History and Biography,1893-1894).

Also according to the War Department, he enlisted as a private in Captain John Camp's Company in the First Virginia State Regiment, commanded by Colonel George Gibson, March 1, 1777 to serve 3 years. His name last appeared on the company muster February, 1778.

David Vawter's wife has been a source of confusion for many years, and a lot of researchers have thought David Vawter married Mary Rucker, daughter of Ephraim Rucker. W.T. Vawter made this mistake in his Sons of American Revolution application. And they didn't know the difference.
To recap: Ephraim Rucker's daughter Mary Rucker married William Vawter. Ephraim's sister Mary Rucker married William Offill. And their daughter Mary (Offill) married David Vawter. Per Rucker Family Genealogy.

The Virginia Genealogist magazine:
"David Vauter, Orange. Died at the Albemarle Barracks during the war, worth nothing at all. He lived near to William Lucas of Orange and his widow lived near him (Lucas) for several after the death of her husband is great distress."
