Made freeman 1726. After 1764, spelled Devou. On a petition for the removal of the Sheriff, William Cosby, in 1737, he signs his name Joseph de Vou, and the year following he is enrolled in Captain Abram Bolen's Company for duty, and rents lot No. 150, at œ4 per year, which was found located in Chambers Street, and in 1764 he renews his lease for twenty years. Afterwards his name was found usually written Devou. He died in 1774, and in his will he wishes his body to be buried in the "Old Dutch Church" yard, and his wife Sarah to occupy his dwelling-house, wherein she lived until her death.
