  Birth	4 Apr 1775	Scituate, Massachusetts, -USA   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Note	Dr. David Harris Otis was a graduate in the medical science, coming to Danby, Vermont, to practice medicine in 1793. For the first two years he hired his board. Although regularly educated as a physician, his inclinations eventually led him to farming and at the time of his death he left one of the largest fortunes ever accumulated in Danby. He took active interest in the education board of the town - and was one of the leading Quakers. In 1828, when the division among the Friends occurred in town, he became an Orthodox and was mainly instrumental in building a new Chapel (which was, however, short lived). He will be long remembered for his fine character and gentleness of manner.
