* 1850 Census of Eaton County shows Jacob and Elizabeth DeVow(sic) as residents of Eaton Township on same page as Peter and Betsey Britten.

The Library gave us the Name as Deyo from Josiah's will, But the copy of the will you can tell it was Devoe.

Children's names and number of children match info on http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/b/r/i/David-G-Britten/GENE6-0006.html "Decendants of John Drake".

Possibly a Revolutionary War Vet:
From various entries in Lenawee and Eaton County History, Michigan State Library.
p. 377-- "...(Peter and Betsy) were born in New York and her mother was of Dutch descent. Both grandfathers are said to have been Revolutionary soldiers. ....

http://genforum.genealogy.com/devoe/messages/175.html:
There are at least four origins of this name in N.America: Acadian, French-Canadian (Quebec), New York (Huguenots), and former slaves
from southern U.S. who adopted the name. The name had likely no more than two forms in France, "deVaux" and "deVeau" (or DeVaux and DeVeau). For a more completre discussion see "DeVaux". The original name should more properly be listed as "Vaux (de)". Thus listed it would be searched under "V" rather than "D" but what is done is done.

[NI723] FamilySearch.Org: Search for John Horton b:1782 +/- 10 years in VA.
Two candidates pop up. One born 21 Jul 1784 Virginia whose spouse was Mrs. Lucinda HORTON (an excellent match) but no information going back. Another born 27 Jul 1784 Fauquier, Virginia. No spouse information but info goes WAY back. Could be same person but have no way to cross right now.

[NI735] P33 of Elmore's autobiography, he states that they stopped and ate at Fremont, then stopped at "Valaparaiso" so that Viola could visit her uncle James Casement. Then they continued home (to Lincoln, I presume). It has to be Valparaiso, Saunders County Nebraska, 25 miles NW of Lincoln.

[NI738] Lamar Democrat
Samuel Casement, after a long period of illness, succumbed at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon. Mr. Casement was born in County Down, Ireland, in February 1826. When a lad of 19 he came across to America and settled in the Province of Ontario in the Dominion of Canada. In 1848, he married an Irish lassie, named Miss Annie Jane Breckenridge. They have lived together nearly sixty years and Mrs. Casement survives her husband.
Mr. Casement early took an active part in politic. He served in the county council and also as a member of the Ootario (sic) legislature.
