Possibly born Glass, Wilson Run, Washington Co., OH.

A family tree on FamilySearch.org with no sources gives his parents as David Mossor and Elizabeth Mary Ankrom.

The record for his first marriage in 1864, to Francis Hanlin, names him David Mussor, 23, b. Washington Co., OH and a resident of Washington Co., OH. It also names his parents as George & Mary Mussor. That gives a birth year of circa 1841.

The record for his marriage to Amanda Jane (Darnell) Grim in 1883 names him David Mossor, 43, born Ohio, resident of Tyler Co., WV. That gives a birth year of circa 1840.

He is named David H. Mossor in marriage record of daughter Charlotte “Lottie” Mossor Johnson, and David Musser in birth record of daughter Mary Virginia Mossor, both daughters of Frances Hanlin.

He is D. H. Mossor in birth record of son William, David Mossor in birth record of son Alfred H., and David H. Mossor in birth record of son Franklin (sons of Amanda Darnell Grim).

Possible death info: died March 10, 1890, Tyler Co., WV found on Familysearch.org, but no source for into. Another source there cites a Legacy NFS Source, a death certificate, with March 10, 1885, Tyler Co., WV. That cannot be verified, plus is too early, as he had children born after that, July 1886 and 1888. The 1890 death would work, as his second wife Amanda remarried in late 1890.

Possible death, Sep. 9, 1895, Tyler Co., WV; found on tree on Ancestry.com. That is incorrect. That David D. Mossar was only 35 years old, way too young to be the correct person.
