BASIC FACTS

Johann Michael Dewald was born on 10 August 1716.2 He and Maria Barbara Schmidtin were married in 1740.2 He died in December 1798, at age 82, in Berks Co., Pennsylvania.2 He was buried in Zions Chruch Cemetery, Windson Castle, Berks Co., Pennsylvania.3
Johann Michael Dewald was also known as Johann Michael Devault.2 He had reference number 21557. The genealogy I received from Dan DeVault had Johann Michael DeVault's parents listed as Abraham and Ann Catherine (Unknown) Theobald from Medard, Germany. Gary DeVault sent me the following information he found on the Internet:

Just wanted to make a correction that I believe I posted to the wrong query. I have personally studied the records of the church in Medard, Germany, where Abraham & Catharine had their children baptised. Michael, b. 1716, is definitely NOT a child of this family. Unfortunately, a mistaken translation years ago has been perpetuated so that now it is almost impossible to convince people that Abraham is not Michael's father. I can read German script, and have translated many German church records. The child of Abraham & Catharine who was b. in 1716 was named Johann Nickel (for Nicolaus, not Johann Michael). In addition, it is noted in the church record that this child died shortly after birth. I also had a German genealogist, who has been studying church records for 50 years, look at the church book. He came to the same conclusion--we have to look elsewhere for the parents of Michael. I can't prove that he didn't come from Medard, but he is not the son of Abraham & Catharine. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but I just wanted to set the record straight. Unfortunately, we have to keep looking.

BASIC FACTS

Franklin Callaway "Frank" Devault was born in 1855 in Tennessee.1 He died between 1886 and 1892.
Franklin Callaway "Frank" Devault had reference number 21568. There were two Franklin or Frank DeVaults born about 1855 in Union County, Tennessee and this has led to some confusion. The first was James Franklin DeVault, son of William C. DeVault and Anna Sellers. The second was Franklin "Frank" DeVault, son of Isaac Loona DeVault and Harriet Kelly. (Sometime "Kelly" is spelled "Kelley." I have chosen the "Kelly" spelling.) These two Frank DeVaults were first cousins. In an old genealogy I received from Dan DeVault, it showed that the son of Isaac and Harriet DeVault was married to Paralee Kelly. I suspect that this was in error. I think it was the other Franklin DeVault, the James Franklin DeVault that was the son of William and Anna DeVault that was married to Paralee Kelly. I think the Franklin DeVault, son of Isaac and Harriet, was married to Augusta Livvia Dyer. (Sometimes "Dyer" is spelled "Dyre" I have chosen the "Dyer" spelling.) .I base this primarily on the 1860, 1870 and 1880 Census records. Here is how it goes:

In 1860 the family of Isaac and Harriet (Kelly) DeVault looked like this:
1860 Census, Tennessee, Union County, Civil District 4
DeVault, Isaac, male, age 33
-- Harriet, female, age 32
-- John, male, age 10
-- Franklin, male, age 5

In the above record, Isaac and Harriet clearly had a son named Franklin born about 1855.

By 1870 Harriet (Kelly) DeVault had died. Somehow Isaac and his children missed being counted in the census. (At least I have not been able to find them.) However, the family of William and Anna (Sellers) DeVault looked like this:

1870 Census, Tennessee, Union County, Civil District 4
DeVault, W. C., male, age 47
-- Anna, female, age 40
-- Margaret, female, age 21
-- Elizabeth, female, age 18
-- John M., male, age 17
-- James F., male, age 15
-- Isaac L., male, age 13
-- Eliza E., female, age 11
-- George S., male, age 5
-- Maynard C., male, age 2
-- Dewey G., male, age <1

The above James F. DeVault is James Franklin DeVault born about 1855.

Also listed in the 1870 Census is Augusta Livvia Dyer, who I believe eventually married Frank DeVault, son of Isaac and Anna.

1870 Census, Tennessee, Union County, Civil District 4
Dyre, Mary, female, age 42 (Sometimes Dyer is spelled Dyre.)
-- Andrew M., male, age 18
-- Parley J., female, age 10
-- Augusta L., female, age 10 (Parley & Augusta may have been twins.)
-- Caldona P, female, age 9

Now comes the 1880 Census where I will try to put my case together. First let's take the family of Isaac and the now deceased Harriet (Kelly) DeVault.

1880 Census, Tennessee, Union County, Civil District 4
DeVault, Isaac, head, male, age 53
Kelly, Florence, niece, female, age 15
DeVault, Jane, daughter, female, age 15
-- John H., son, male, age 31
-- Phoebe M., daughter-in-law, female, age 15
-- Jessie, grandson, male, age 8
-- Willie, grandson, male, age 5
-- ALmeda, granddaughter, female, age 3

In the above record, Frank DeVault is not living with his father. In fact, he is married to August and they have a son, Arthur.

1880 Census, Tennessee, Union County, Civil District 4
DeVault, Frank, head, male, age 25
-- Augusta, wife, female, age 20
-- Arthur, son, male, age 1

In the above record, the ages come from a careful reading of the actual census image. The transcription is incorrect. I have a death certificate for Arthur. It says his parents were Frank DeVault and Livvia Dyer.

There is also a census record for the Paralee Kelly that would eventually marry the other Frank DeVault. The James Franklin DeVault that is the son of William and Anna (Sellers) DeVault.

1880 Census, Tennessee, Union County, Civil District 4
Kelly, Samuel, head, male, age 40
-- Caroline, wife, female, age 41
-- Paralee, daughter, age 16
-- eight more children and a grandchild

So, I contend that the Frank DeVault, son of Isaac and Harriet, was married by 1880 to Augusta Livvia Dyer. I also contend that the James Franklin DeVault, son of William and Anna, was not yet married to Paralee Kelly, but would soon be.

After Frank died, Augusta married George Toliver

1900 Census, Tennessee, Union County, Civil District 4, 14 & 15 June 1900, page 8B, lines 58-65
Toliver, George E., head, white, male, born Apr 1851, age 48, married for 8 years, born Tennessee, TN TN, farmer
-- Augusta L., wife, white, female, born Oct 1859, age 40, married for 8 years, 8 children 7 living, born Tennessee, TN TN
-- Lloyd C., son, white, male, born Jan 1880, age 20, single, born Tennessee, TN TN, farm laborer
-- John H., son, white, male, born Oct 1883, age 16, single, born Tennessee, TN TN, farm laborer
-- Ralph D., son, white, male, born Nov 1893, age 6, single, born Tennessee, TN TN
-- Vina M., daughter, white, female, born Apr 1896, age 4 single, born Tennessee, TN TN
