I'd just cleared Old Olney (which is really close to where I'm from! Cheers to Bethesda for putting in lots of real locations!) before going to the Republic of Dave, so there were no Deathclaws left to kill Dave.
If you protect him or clear the area before he arrives (you also need to clear a path for him because he'll easily get killed by raiders en-route) he'll make his way to a little alley with some dumpsters and just hang out there. You can talk to him, but he doesn't have much to say other than something about this being the New Republic of Dave and to go away. If you keep talking to him he'll attack you after the (I think) third conversation.
