Had a look at burial records for Arthuret, Kirkandrews on Esk and Kirklinton near Longtown, between 1813 and 1880: the only David Grahams were buried at Arthuret were
April 1 1812 GRAHAM David of Fauld, Farmer aged 71 years
April 12 1813 GRAHAM David aged 70 years of Randilinton
July 24 1815 GRAHAMDavid aged 5 of Foul-town
 23 Jun 1839 David Graham Rhodds School House Parish of Kirkandrews on Esk    23   
17 Jan 1851 David Graham Key's Mount Kirklinton 71

at Kirklinton the David Grahams buried in this period were:
Jun 11 1813 Graham David   Firbank   55 Householder
Feb 26 1843 Graham David   Downbyrigg   11 months   
Dec 22 1851 Graham David   Smithfield 3 weeks   


No David Grahams buried at Kirkandrews on Esk during this period.. So possibly David moved elsewhere or was buried in Scotland? The only other David Graham who might be yours was this one:
Apr-23   1820   Bap GRAHAM John Bastard son of David Graham, Farmer of Mossband Kirkandrews Parish & Mary Irving
Nov-07   1824   Bap  GRAHAM  Mary Bastard daughter of David Graham, Labourer of Mossband Kirkandrews Parish & Sarah Irwing   

It could be the same as your David Graham but there is no proof of this, unfortunately.
sorry can't be of more help

thanks
This is a hard one I think.
bapt 1813 Andrew was the bastard son of david graham & elizabeth young.
I think david may have been a bit of a jack the lad if its the same one from mossband.
but on andrews death cert parents were married.
could be a lie??
I,ll keep at it
thanks again
