DAVID STANDIFER was a prominent member of Brashears Creek church, as 
early as 1803.  He was usually a messenger to the Association, and 
appears to have been an active member of that body.  His preaching gifts 
were not above medium, at any time, and were slow of development.  He 
appears to have been of a practical, business turn, and was a judicious 
actor rather than a fluent speaker.  He must have been considerable 
advanced in life before he entered the ministry.  He was ordained at 
Brashears Creek, about September 1823, and succeeded James McQuade sr., 
[sic] in the pastoral office, in that church.  He occupied this position 
several years.  He preached the introductory sermon before Long Run 
Association, in 1829.  His labors in the Lord's vineyard, appear to have 
ceased not far from 1832.  E. D. Standifer, M. D., the well known Rail 
Road magnate is his son.
