On January 13, 1790 David obtained a Royal License and his name legally and officially became David Webster. However, not wanting to lose his heritage, he came up with something for himself that he'd never had before, a middle name - Wedderburn. So he was now David Wedderburn Webster (no hyphens, and surnamed just Webster).
