My name is Paul W. DeVaul and I am researching the Duvall,DeVaul families in Ohio. My family is the James DeVaul b. 1823, OH, family listed in the 1860 Census in Monroe Co., Woodsfield census. My great grandfather is Winfield K. DeVaul and my grandfather is Roy Preston DeVaul b.1898, Wood Co., WV. My father is Robert R. DeVaul b. 1919, Wellsville, Columbiana Co.,OH d.1968, Buffalo, NY.
I am having a very difficult time trying to find the location and ancestors of James DeVaul so, I have looked in the LDS files and have found John Duvall, b.abt 1778 in Hamilton Co., OH and his wife Mrs. John Duvall b.abt 1782 with children, James C. b. , Samuel, John, Sarah, Elizabeth, Mary Ann, and Susannah D. all born in Hamilton Co. I have the aproximate dates of birth for the children if you are interested.
What, if any, information do you currently have on any other DeVaul, Duvall, Devol or other spelling thereafter? I am currently researching with a suspected DeVaul relative in Monroe Co. and she is filling in some of the questions for me however, we still have not been able to find James' parents or Sarah, his wife's maiden name or roots. Any help from you would be greatly appreciated. I am putting a database together with names of the different lineages, birth, death and known cemetery listing as I write this note so, if you are interested in that info., let me know.
Hope to hear some positive news from you soon...
Paul
