Hi again,

The Dewalt/Devold puzzle I can solve. Are you corresponding with a Sharon Martini? We recently connected and she had the same question. Dewalt/Devold/Devolt/Dewald, spellings come in all these forms in the census and in other records that I have found. Dewald/Dewalt is also a surname in Lycoming County to further complicate the matter. In our family, there were 2 Dewald Frys, uncle and nephew, just 7 years apart in age. They each married a Mary, and had several children with similar names. A researchers nightmare. Fortunately, I talked with several great-uncles who knew each from the other. Here are the facts:

Frederick and Elizabeth's youngest child was Dewald (1833-1907). He married Mary Swann. Frederick's son Jacob (and Lavina) had a son Dewald (1840-1913) who married Mary Heinley (she was the sister of my great-great grandmother... they married Fry brothers). To further complicate the matter, both couples are buried in the same cemetery and the first Dewald has two stones, one spelled as Davold Fry (the older stone with a more German spelling) and DeWald Frey, a newer stone placed, I presume, by the branch of his family who changed the spelling of the last name because there were too many Frys in Lycoming County.

A bit of oral family legend also from my great-uncles...one was called Black Dewald and the other White Dewald...but my sources couldn't remember why..hair color? complexion? personality! Thanks for responding. The cousins are really popping up all over the net.

Nancy
