Hi Jill---This may or may not be some of your family. I do have a DeVore connection through WILLIAM DeVORE. William came to Decatur Co., IA from VA and was probably born about 1835. He died in Pleasanton, Decatur Co., IA on March 25, 1863. William was married to MALONA GIBSON February 18, 1855. Malona was born in N. Carolina about 1834. From: 'A CENTURY OF MEMORIES' OF VAN WERT, IOWA 1880 - 1890 DECATUR COUNTY LONG CREEK TOWNSHIP Malona Jane Gibson (Devore, Waterman): Malona Gibson, a niece of Elizabeth Gibson, was born in l834, and came to Van Wert with other relatives in l854. She was married to William DeVore. Their children were: ELIZA DeVore (Thompson), WILLIAM DeVore, THOMAS DeVore, and Elizabeth Devore (Wise). William DeVore Sr. enlisted in the Missouri Home Guard, where he was accidentally killed. Malona, who was married for a few years later to John Waterman, lived all the rest of her life in Van Wert. She died in November of l920, at the age of 86 and is buried in Van Wert Cemetery. Eliza DeVore, b. abt. 1855 married Henry Alexander Thompson. Thomas Dyson DeVore, b. in Van Wert, April 7, 1860, married a sister of my 3rd great-grandmother, Anna Eleanor Bullard. I have their children listed as William Verne DeVore b. June 14, 1891, and Nila Glen DeVore b.February 03, 1894, but have no other information on them. I don't have a death date for Thomas, but know the DeVore's raised two of Anna's brothers children. I have no other information on William DeVore, Jr., but believe he was born bef. 1859. Hope this helps.
