Posted on: Guernsey Co. OH Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Oh/Guernsey/11449 Surname: Devault, Little, Beal, Moore, Warnock ------------------------- I have found the Devault family very difficult to work with. William Devault b~1790-1800 had ten children and I am only certain about the 6th child John Davoult 1824-1904 and his decendants. My Little is Isabelle Little 1830-1909 who married Reuben Beal. The son of John Devault(also John) married the daughter of Reuben Beal and Isabelle, Miami Jane Beal. I am very interested in finding out more about all of the children of William Devault and also the parents and siblings of Isabelle Little. I believe that I might have some information on Thomas Devault, but it is unconnected information that I probably got from one of the internet sources. I will see what I can find. Glenn

I have done a lot of research on the Overly name in Guernsey Co and have seen the name Sarchet many times. I wonder if you should also consider that may be your name with a variant spelling.

Posted on: Guernsey Co. OH Queries Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Oh/Guernsey/11438 Surname: Faris, Law ------------------------- The will of a John LAW (wife Jane) dated 11 Dec 1840 and probated 15 March 1841, recorded in Guernsey Co. OH (Book A, page 510) lists "Mary FARIS" as one of his "oldest daughters. By studying this John Law's land purchases and census enumerations in Guernsey County, I t-h-i-n-k he is the son of Matthew Law and Sarah Collins who died in Guernsey County, and are buried at McCoy's Church Cemetery. I also t-h-i-n-k his wife was Jane MARSH who he married in 1815 in Guernsey Co. John and Jane LAW are not my direct line. I connect through Eleanor LAW, daughter of Matthew and Sarah LAW, who married Jacob LEWTON.

The Sarge and Sue, Are your related to the Wilsons who lived in Washington Township? It appears from the censuses that my ancestors, Wilson/Reed/Edwards, lived there. Jesse Wilson was my 4th great-grandfather. He was married to Rachel Reed. I'm related to them through their daughter, Elizabeth Wilson (Willson) b. 27 Feb 1819. Elizabeth married Lewis Edwards 29 Mar 1838. Susan Petty

(unknown) Patrick's Irish origins and ancestry remains unknown. Oral tradition records Patrick's arrival in America with a brother (name unknown) who settled in the Baltimore, MD area. Patrick first appears in America in 1759 in Frederick Co., MD court records as a debtor and last appears in 1793 as a witness to a deed by his son James in 1793 in Washington Co., PA. Patrick was a staunch Irish Catholic, and his children married German or Irish Catholics. This makes this family unique in being the only pre-Revolutionary Archer family that was Catholic thereby making it easier to identify them and to differentiate them from the two other Archer lines who were "Scotch-Irish" Protestants living in the same area of Greene/Washington Cos., PA. Patrick's children began marrying Protestants fairly early in the Second Generation the earliest being about 1806. The Catholic Archers today are concentrated mostly in Noble Co., OH being descendants of James (of Patrick) whereas the other descendant lines of Patrick are mostly Protestant. Children of Patrick: 1. James b. c. 1747; d. c. 1830. James and his father and siblings moved from Frederick Co., MD. to Washington (now Greene) Co., PA about 1772. James became the Captain of the local militia fighting Indians during the French-Indian War and remained in Greene Co., moving out to Ohio Co. (now Marshall Co., WV) VA by 1800. He and his family moved to Monroe (now Noble) Co., OH around 1815 and died there about 1830. Most of his descendants stayed in Noble Co., until the 1870's. James married twice: 1. Sophia (McClelland?) 2. (Mrs.?) Jane Lincicome. 2. Joseph b. c. 1755; d. 1822. He was a landowner in Washington Co., PA as early as 1774, after the family moved from Frederick Co., MD. He had considerable land and wealth accumulated by the time he sold out and moved to Guernsey Co., OH about 1802-1803. Two of his children married in Guernsey Co. in 1811 and 1812. After the Indians had been pacified, he and the family moved on to Richland Co., OH by 1820 where Joseph died in 1822. He md. Margaret Church, daughter of George Church (Kirche/Kirk), probably in Maryland before moving to Pennsylvania. About the time of his death, his descendants began to move Hancock and Wood counties, OH and Marion Co., IN by 1830. 3. Michael b. c. 1760; d. 1786. Little is known of him, as he was killed by Indians before 9 Sep 1786. After his death, his widow Elizabeth Wells, daughter of John Duckett Wells, moved with her brothers and two children, Mary and Joseph, to Tyler Co., (W) VA. where his descendants live to the present time. 4. Simon b. c. 1760; d. 1808. Simon moved out of Washington (Greene) Co., as soon as the Northwest Territory had been opened. He moved to Washington Co., PA between 1787 and 1790, appearing in the 1790 Census of Morgan Twp, Wasington Co, OH and died in Newport Twp, Washington Co., OH in 1808. He md. Nancy Church, daughter of George Church (Kirche/Kirk), and had two (Simon and Patrick) and possibly three (Jacob) sons. The sons remained until 1823 when they moved to Clay Co., IN. Simon md. Nancy Church. 5. Jacob b. c. 1765; d. c. 1825. Jacob's moved from Washington (Greene) Co., PA to Spencer Twp, Guernsey Co, OH about 1810 and died there about 1825. His wife is unknown. His descendants lived in Guernsey but some moved to Muskingum Co., in the 1820's and then moved eastward to Morgan Co., OH. They remained in the Morgan Co., area until Noble Co., was formed in 1851 when some remained within Morgan and others found themselves in Brookfield Twp, Noble Co., OH. By the 1900's descendants were in Noble Twp, Noble Co. Migrations of this line include Nemaha Co., KS (1878) 6. Elizabeth md. William Wells, son of John Duckett Wells. William died Jan-Jun 1835 in Tyler Co., WV. An Elizabeth Wells (wife of William?) in her will proven 22 Dec 1823, Greene Co., PA, mentioned one, unnamed, child. Elizabeth and John Wells granted letters of administration but their relationship to Elizabeth is not known. Other direct descendants are not known, as William's will does not list any children. 7. Mary or Polly 8. Nancy One of the two girls married George Fee who lived in Washington Co., PA until after 1790 when he moved to Mason Co. KY. No further information. Oddly enough throughout the 200 year period of migrations and intermarriages, none of the male descendants of Patrick married descedants of the other male descendants of Patrick. Intermarriages did occur in the 20th century through extended in-law connections between two of Patrick's descendant lines of Jacob and James. Migrations of James (of Patrick)'s descendants before the Civil War were limited to Iowa and Nebraska by 1836 and Franklin Co., Kansas (1859). After the Civil War migrations of James (of Patrick)'s line were extensive: Wood and Jackson, and Wirt Cos., WV (1870's); Swift Co., Minnesota (1878) and South Dakota 1880's); Seward Co., NE (1878); and many counties in Kansas: Anderson (1870); Cloud (1872); Harvey (1872), Sheridan (1879); Norton Co., (1879); Marion (1880); Mitchel (1886); Franklin (1890); Washington (1891); Cowley (1900).
