NOTES: 

  Death: 16 MAR 1777-06 APR 1777 in Frederick, MD, USAerran [email protected] Philadelphia in 1731 with his brothers and sisters, and was the youngest of the group. There is no written record of what transpired during the following 10 years and one can only speculate as to where and how he spent his late childhood. Early church records (see appendix) indicate that members of the Devilbiss family were on the Monocacy River as early as 1736. Land records show that in 1741,Casper was a tenant farmer of John Bigg's leased lot #2 on the east side of the Monocacy River at Bigg's Ford in Frederick County, Maryland. By 1743, he was farming land he had leased under his own name.
e is not recorded, but Casper C. was probably married about 1745 or 1746, as his oldest son, George, was born Nov 6, 1747. The County Records of Frederick County, Maryland, show that he bought a Negro slave in 1747, paying 25 Lbs. Sterling. The records of the Annapolis, Maryland land office show that in 1751 Casper received a land grant from Great Britain for 150 acres of land in Frederick County, known as Bill's Hunting Lot. In 1758, "Casper Devilbiss" was appointed overseer of the road from Major Ogle's Ford to Biggs Ford on the Monocacy River, virtually connecting via the Manor Monocacy Road, his two locals. From time to time he bought other tracts and at the time of his death in 1778, he owned more than 3000 acres in Frederick County.asper and his wife, Anne, had six children, three sons and three daughters. Two of the girls, Ann and Susannah, married brothers named Ramsburg and continued to live in Frederick County. Barbarah married a Samuel Flemming and then, following his death, a man named Hardy. Casper's and Anne's sons were George, John, and Casper. George and John married sisters, Elizabeth and Rebecca Ogle, daughters of Alexander Ogle, Sr. Casper Jr. married Susannah Derr.------------------------------------------------------------------------------lbiss (#514.48) visited what he mistakenly thought was the Casper C. Devilbiss home site and reported in his 1932 supplement: "The Casper Devilbiss home was located on the tract of land received from Great Britain, which was known as Bill's Hunting Lot, containing 150 acres, two miles south of Lewistown. About 200 feet from the main road is a stone house possibly built by Casper Devilbiss during the 1750's." He further observed that: "The walls (of the house) are two feet thick, in good condition, and look as if they would stand for another hundred years. On the right hand side of the drive there is a burying ground containing many unmarked graves, as well as a few with markers. One marker has the following inscription: 'John Devilbiss (of Casper) Died Oct 19, 1827, aged 77 years'. Another says: 'Rebecca Devilbiss, daughter of Alexander Ogle, wife of John Devilbiss, born May 17, 1755, died March 23, 1805, aged 49 years, 10 months, 6 days'. No doubt Casper and his oldest son George are also buried here." In reality, this was the place known as "William's Project" that had been built about 1749 by a Reverend Williams. Casper's second son, John Devilbiss (#52), purchased it from his brother-in-law, Alexander Ogle, Jr., in 1806. Casper C. and son George are probably buried in Graceham Cemetery.----------s death between these dates. Under the terms of the will,his estate was divided between his wife, Anne Devilbiss, and their six children. The text of the will is as follows:ND TESTAMENT OF CASPER DEVILBISS------------------------, commonly called March, in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and seventy-seven, I, Casper Devilbiss, of Frederick county and province of Maryland, being weak in body, but of sound and perfect disposing mind and memory, and calling to mind the uncertainty of this transoldery life, do make this my last will and testament, touching the disposal of will.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------n Family Tree | Diondra McFerran [email protected]
