Hello, I am trying to verify information that Amos SCOTT is likely buried in Bridgewater. According to Tuttle's Pioneers of Madison County, NY : Amos SCOTT: born in Middleburg, Conn. March 2, 1732. Settled in Brookfield 1796. He was an old man when he came to Brookfield with his 12 children and settled on what became known as Scott Street. He died March 22, 1823. He is buried at Bridgewater. Wife Louisa Born 1735 died 1819. Son Levi. I would love it if someone could help me verify this information. A few of Amos' children and grandchildren settled in Bridgewater including my Horace M. SCOTT who lived there 1830 and 1840. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ever so much.

Hi I believe there are portraits of Nicholas Devereux and John Devereux in the rectory of Historic Old St. John's church in Utica. I remember seeing them maybe 10 years ago and would guess they are still there. Dianne

They arrived in the US between 1852 and 1854 and settled in Florence, Oneida, NY. with two young daughters, Margaret (my ggrandmother), b. abt 1850 IRE, and Hannah, b. abt 1852 IREL. The were parishioners of St. Mary's in Florence. They had four more children in Florence. Humphrey, b. 1854, Hanora, b. abt 1858, Catherine, b. 1860, and Mary, b. abt 1864.

Hi, This is from Vignettes of Old Utica by John Walsh, copywrite 1982. "John Corish Devereux was born in Enniscorthy, county Wexford, Ireland on August 5, 1774, the son of Thomas & Catharine Corish Devereux, a wealthy and Prominent family. The family name is of French origin and tradition has it that when William the conqueror, Duke of Normandy, invaded England in 1066, Robert DeVereux, the younger son of the feudal owner of Evreux accompanied him and settled in Ireland, with grants from the Crown. During the century that followed, the Devereux family, Catholic in religion, was respected and honored by the Irish and when the Irish, prompted by the American and French revolutions, struck for independence from England in 1798, Thomas Devereux added his voice and financial means to the cause. When the rebellion was crushed, great retribution was visited upon the family in the loss of their lands and fortune to the Crown. Around 1796 or 97, their son John C. Devereux came to American and a few years later to the little village of Utica. On November 8th, 1802, he advertised that he had 'opened an assortment of dry goods and groceries at the store lately occupied by John Smith' at Bagg's Square. John C. Devereux soon became a successful merchant and he brought his brothers, Luke, Nicholas and Thomas to help in his business. Nicholas Devereux was born in Ireland in 1791 and came to this country in 1806 to join his brothers John C and Luke in the business. Luke left Utica in 1814 and went to Natchez where he died of yellow fever in February 1818. Thomas Devereux arrived in Utica from Ireland in 1810 and operated the Utica Distillery, later the Gulf Brewery, were he sold 'excellent Whiskey in exchange for cash, wheat rye or store hogs'. When Thomas returned to Ireland, Nicholas advertised the distillery for sale in March 1815. John Devereux retired from active management of the business and Nicholas continued the firm as 'N. Devereux & Co'. . John C. Devereux's earlier home was on Main Street, but near the close of the War of 1812, he erected the house at the corner of Broad and Second street where he lived until his death December 11, 1843. Nicholas Devereux was successful merchant and became the owner of the handsome Jeremiah Van Rensselaer residence on Genesee Street, which he later laid out for building lots" According to the index, the are more references to the family later in the book. I don't have time to look at them now - I am getting ready to go on vacation- but if you are interested I will look them up when I get back, or you can try getting a copy of the book through your library.

Daphne, A Google search for "John C. Devereux" brings up the following two sites. According to them, John C. Devereux had no children. Nicholas Devereux (b. 7 June 1791 - d. 29 December 1855) had at least two daughters, Mary a Catholic nun and (Hannah) who m. US Senator Francis Kernan. These items give the origin of the Devereux brothers as near Enniscorthy, County Wexford, Ireland. They helped make it possible for others to come from Ireland. Interestingly, I had an Irish great-grandmother who migrated from prob. Enniscorthy in County Wexford to Utica, but much later. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/16033b.htm http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/16033a.htm Joanne Garland ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Scott" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, June 08, 2003 8:00 PM Subject: [NYONEIDA-L] DEVEREUX > Hi List, > I have just joined your list in the hope of finding some more information on the following family who were said to be in the Utica area, > > KERAN DEVEREUX ( var spellings for both names ) > wife ELLEN both born Ireland 1817 and 1819 > > children include MARYANN born 1841, MARGARET born 1842, PETER 1845, THOMAS 1847, JOHN 1849 and JOSEPH 1853. > > They were in Doniphan Co Kansas by 1862, there could have been older children. > > Any help with this family would be wonderful, thanks > Daphne > NEW ZEALAND. > > > ==== NYONEIDA Mailing List ==== > Contact the List Manager at [email protected] > Oneida Co Surname page http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~myplace/oneida.html > List Rules http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~myplace/mailing.html > Oneida Co Genealogical & Historical Site http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyoneida/ >

Daphne, The name "Devereux" figures prominently in Utica history. According to a historical booklet titled "Utica and Its Savings Bank 1839-1939," pages 11-14, in 1802 John C. Devereux arrived in Utica, having left Ireland in 1799 (during a rebellion). He was then about age 28. He opened a general store that became prosperous. In 1806 his younger brother, Nicholas Devereux, arrived to join him. Nicholas worked in the store and later became a business partner. In 1814 on the west side of Bagg's Square the brothers built a new, brick store. The store had a safe "strong box." According to this booklet, the Devereux brothers were respected as honest men, and many store customers asked if they could keep their own savings in the strong box. This custom evolved into what later became the Savings Bank of Utica. On page 22 it is noted that in 1836 the Utica and Schenectady Railroad was finished, and Nicholas Devereux served as a director. Page 28 indicates that the first president of what became the Savings Bank was John C. Devereux, the first mayor of Utica elected by the people. Nicholas Devereux served as a bank trustee. When the Utica State Hospital was built in 1842, two of the three trustees were John C. and Nicholas Devereux (page 28). John C. Devereux's picture appears in this booklet. If you would like me to scan and e-mail it to you as an attachment, please contact me privately and I'll be happy to do that. Just specify the format (bmp, pcx, tif, gif, etc.) that you would prefer. Though I am orignally from Utica, I now live several hours away and do not often visit there. I'm sure that someone who lives in Utica would have greater access than I to historical records and newspaper microfilms that would include references to the Devereux brothers. They appear to have been well-respected, honest men who held positions of responsibility during Utica's early growth. If one of them is an ancestor of yours, you will probably find a great deal of information on them. Surely their obituaries would be long. If neither is your ancestor, and you have other Utica ancestry of that name, it would be likely that your ancestors would be related to these brothers--immigrants tended to settle in areas where they already had relatives with whom they could stay until they got settled. Good luck!

Sorry for just sending a private letter to the list by mistake today. Should have gone to Carol Michaud. However, it does concern the Oneida family subjects I am investigating. As of general interest, I obtained, fairly quickly, a non-certified death cert for Marguerite Pfeifer for $8.00 thru the Minnesota Historical Society web site, by regular mail. Certified copies can be obtained for $10 from the Minnesota Dept of Health. Dave Rafferty --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks, Carol . very appropo sentiments. I just got the death certificate back from Minnesota Historical Society on Marguerite Pfeifer. Some very interesting elements. She was the wife of Fred B Pfeifer. She died at 81 on 9/27/76 in Minneapolis medical center, immediate cause of death, pulmonary embolism, due to immobilization, due to burns of undetermine etiology (probably hot water). Autopsy was done. Says deceased sustained injury at home, probably hot water. Certificate says she was divorced. Fred B died in 67 in Spokane, so Deb and I guess they divorced sometime prior to 67, she may have been a single mother? Fred may have taken off? Appears to be living alone, maybe had accident and died before anyone checked on her. Her birthplace is given as Minneapolis. Father was a George Falbisaner, and mother , Annie Peters. She apparently was the "Catholic girl" Fred B ran off with to cause the family rift. Investigation continuing.
