David's kids

[bliss]

Whatever happened to his kids? We know about Ricky's famous children but David's we never hear about. I know of a Danny from the first wife from a youtube clip I've seen from a 1966 interview but other than that zilch....

I read or heard somewhere that Chuck Woolery married a daughter of Daves. I got impression that this daughter had to be quite a few years young than Chuck. I know no more than that.

Thanks for the info Coffeecup! I didn't know he fathered a daughter or what her name is. I'm assuming his kids are not in show business unlike Rick's.

Actually, bliss, Terri was Yvonne's daughter by her first marriage but David adopted her and her brothers after he wed Yvonne [three months after his divorce from June which itself was filed three days after Ozzie's death]. However; Terri and her brothers have consistently praised David to the hilt saying he was their FIRST father [evidently, Yvonne's first husband wasn't the most attentive of parents]. Moreover, when Terri and Chuck Woolery divorced, despite having two sons by Mr. Woolery, Terri took BACK the Nelson name as her surname not her original paternal one.
Oddly enough, I've not heard anything about David's sons by June since their divorce and have no idea how they got along with him ,Yvonne or their stepsibs that he adopted.

David had two sons by his first wife, June. They are: Daniel Blair Nelson, born August 20, 1962 and James Eric Nelson, born June 8, 1966.

I had a feeling Dave would've made a great father. Nice to read that Yvonne had a man who loved her like his own!

It's nice that their middle names are the wife's maiden name & Ricky's real name. I would've loved to see an interview with those two sons of Dave & their reaction to their dad's legacy on the long-running sitcom. We all know how Rick's kids feel about their dad....
