b. 1772, Mirecourt; d. 1834. He was the first member known of this family of violin makers, and made cheap instruments, branding them with his name only. He married Anne Leclerc (b. 1767) and had four sons, all makers: Jean Baptiste, Nicolas, Nicolas François, and Claude François. They all learnt their trade under him, and the instruments they made at that time were branded " Au roi David, Paris."
