David Mantle was a teacher, justice of the peace

My ancestor, David Mantle was a teacher and a justice of the Peace.  They called him Squire.

Some researchers list him as James David Mantle.  His English Birth Certificate and American Death Certificate and tombstone list him as David Mantle.

When they immigrated from England on the Sailor Prince, according to family lore, he was young and at one point went missing and was later found climbing the sails.

David is the father seated in the above picture.  The canes were bought at the Saint Louis Fair.
