I have information on Jacob (1759-1825) and Mary DeVault and their six children (including Abraham and Pheby). I realize that all records show only Abraham and Pheby but I have also found Daniel, Isaac, Samuel, and Anna Catharina as well. I also have Jacob/Marys German language Bible Hymnal published in Germany in 1762. Another myth dispelled (we're not French). Many records for Jacob, Abraham, Samuel, Daniel and Isaac are under Tevault, Tewald, etc. during the early 1800's and then around 1820 start becoming more routinely "DeVault". The word is that Jacob and his family moved to Monongalia County in the 1790's, however no records are found in the court house until 1803.

Anyway - I'm writing this in the hopes that I can find new information from folks such as yourself. If you've seen "The DeVaults of Kelso Ridge" that's something I put out around 1995 or so. Alot of new information since then. There's a William DeVault (born in the early 1800's) that's found in Monongalia County that I can't tie in just yet - but if he's in Monongalia County - I'm sure he's related. The same goes for Hannah DeVault and Rachael DeVault (found in documents in the 1830-1860 range). I have information on who they married, but nothing on who their parents were. Drop me a line if you have info or want some info.
