Looking for information about David White, born 1703, immigrated to Delaware (USA) and married Clerkie Cornelius (USA born) in the Old Sweedes Church, Wilmington, New Castle, Delaware on 17 Sep 1724.
Father's name was Moses White (b. 1665) and mother's name was Isabella Cochran (b. 1670). Both parents immigrated to USA, where they died and were buried.

Dear Jude
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
It is unlikely you will learn more about David (given the early date of his birth) from parish records. Parish records begin at different time for different parishes and some start earlier than others. As civil registration does not begin until l1864 there will be no birth record for David either.
You do not say what religion David was but I am guessing Presbyterian or Church of Ireland? You will have to depend on early sources like Newspaper Archives or perhaps something like the Early Birth or Marriage Index. This latter source is a good one to keep your eye on as it is regularly updated, so if your ancestor doesn't appear today they may in the future.
Do you think there are any other records your side, like obituaries that you could check out?
Best wishes
