BASIC FACTS

James Miller DeWald was born on 16 October 1839 in Washington Co., Tennessee.¹ He and Martha Northington were married on 14 September 1864 in Washington Co., Tennessee.^1,5 He and Nancy E. "Nannie" Northington were married in 1880.⁶ He died on 30 October 1899, at age 60.¹ He was buried in New Salem Baptist Church Cemetery, Limestone, Washington Co., Tennessee (V.)¹

James Miller DeWald had reference number 3281. He resided in Sullivan Co., Tennessee; Washington Co., Tennessee (abt 1880.)^1,6 Civil War, Confederate Army.⁷ He was enumerated on the census in Washington County, Tennessee (1850, 1860, 1880.) He was a Carpenter (1880.)³ James Miller Dewald was born in Washington County, Tennessee. Newland says that he lived for a while in Sullivan County and then returned to Washington County. (Dorothy DeVault Bicknell says that James lived 2 to 3 miles east of his parents on the road to Limestone. Their house was on the Nollichucky River just below Jackson Bridge.)
James married sisters Martha and Nancy "Nannie" Northington. Martha died in 1878. She and several of her children are buried in Bristol City Cemetery, Bristol, Bristol City Co., Virginia. Shortly after Martha's death, James and his family were living with Martha's sister, Julia A. (Northington) Witt and her family. James, Nannie and a son are buried in the New Salem Baptist Church Cemetery, Limestone, Washington Co., Tennessee.
James is one of two James Miller Dewalds/DeVaults. The other was the grandson of Michael Dewald of Berks County, Pennsylvania. (Our James Miller Dewald being the grandson of Henry Dewald of York County, Pennsylvania.) Both James Miller Dewalds/DeVaults were the seventh child of a Daniel and Mary Dewald. Both lived in east Tennessee. This similarity has caused consideral confusion in some early genealogies.

Blountville - The death of Frank J.

BASIC FACTS

Charles Pepper DeWald was born in April 1872 in Tennessee.^1,2,3 He and Mamie D. Kendall were married on 8 March 1909 in Alameda Co., California.⁵ He died on 3 February 1929, at age 56, in Los Angeles County, California.⁶ He was buried in Los Angeles National Cemetery, Los Angeles Co., California.⁷

Charles Pepper DeWald had reference number 3289. Spanish-American War, Phillipines, Company E 14th US Infantry.^1,3 He resided in Bristol, Sullivan Co., Tennessee (bef 1900); Last heard of at Presidio (near San Francisco, California?)^8,3 He was enumerated on the census in Washington County, Tennessee (1880), Phillipine Islands, Military Station Cuartel de Mersik (1900); California, Contra Costa County (1910.) He was a Factory worker (1910.)⁴ In Newland's book the following information appears under Charles Pepper Dewald:

"4-Charles Pepper Dewald b 1872-left home when 9 years old - later
served in the Spanish-American war in the Phillipines. Never
returned home, but wrote once a year for a while; Married a
Jennie _____; separated; last hear of in the 20's. Two
children:
a-Thomas Dewald - changed name to Davault lived in Banning
from 1946. I contacted him-twice-said he knew nothing
about his family. He married Alpha Craver, who was
b July 22 1914 at Kenefic, Okla; she died Sunday
Feb 1st 1975 at Banning. Four daughter and one son;
Bobbie of Kileen, Texas; Laretha Morven of Phoenix;
Della Coggins, Riverside and Fran Furey, Flagstaff,
Ariz a son, Doil of San Bernardino, who m Nancy Springer of
Beaumont about 1956.
b-Geo A Davault - living I think in San Diego area"

Charles' mother died in 1878 when Charles was six years old. In the 1880 Census, Charles, his father and siblings were living with Charles' aunt Julia A. (Northington) Witt* and her family. It is possible that when Charles father, James Miller Dewald, remarried, Charles stayed with his aunt and this gave rise to the Newland's comment that he left home at nine years of age.

Regarding the family of Charles' son Thomas: I'm sure that Newland must have met a Thomas Davault and learned of his family when both were living in Banning, California. However, he is not the son of Charles Pepper Dewald. He is Thomas C. Davault born on December 18, 1912 in Oklahoma and died August 26, 1977 in Riverside County (SSN: 447-07-1275). He is the son of Henry Gordon and Bessie Rosalena (Campbell) Davault. Thomas C. Davault is a descendant of Abraham and Catherine (Gross) DeVault and is not a descendant of Henry Dewald of Pennsylvania. I have deleted the information on the family of Thomas C. Davault from this genealogy.
I have left the information about wife Jennie and two sons, Thomas and George. So far I have found no record of a marriage or children. There is a Jennie (Weaver) Dewald listed in the 1920 Census for Darke County, Ohio. She is divorced and living with her brother John Weaver and his family. No Dewald children were listed in this census record.

Charles Pepper Dewald was in the Spanish-American War. He died in Los Angeles County, California and is buried in the Los Angeles National Cemetery.

I have often wondered where Charles' middle name comes from. I noticed in the Green Hill Cemetery in Bristol, Virgina that there is a "Pepper" family. Charles' parents lived in the area and his mother is buried in the Green Hill Cemetery.

* Note: Julia A. (Northington) Witt is buried in Salem Baptist Church Cemetery, Washington Co., Tennessee. She is not far from Charles' father and step-mother.
