 Hi,

I found you on ancestry.com & I'm looking for info on an Alexander &/or Draper DeWees.  I found an Alexander in the following census'  records, he just may be the son of your Draper Alexander DeWees:
1860 Census--Middletown, Delaware Co., PA
                        Post Office: Media
 DeWees Alexander   38 M W  Wheel Wright  N/A  $75.00/property
               Juliann      35 F W                          PA
               John W.     12 M W                          PA
               Isaac S.     10 M W                         PA
               Mary E.        8 F W                          PA
               Anna           5 F W                          PA
               George F.    1 M W                          PA

 1870 Census Index--Middletown, Delaware Co., PA
 DeWees Alex 49 m w DE

 Please note he was b. in DE!

 I also found, in the VA Records, at the Delaware Co. Court House:
 Civil War
 Draper DeWees, age 76, b. 1821 & d. 28 Dec 1897
 Buried: Calvary Episcopal Cemetery, Rockdale, Dela. Co., PA.
 91st Reg't PA, Inf., Co. H, Pvt.
 MI 18 Mar 1865--MO 10 Jul 1865 Drafted
 Ref: Bates Manuel Vol., #3, pg. 223

     I think Alexander & Draper DeWees are one in the same!  :)

     Have you come across any info that may substantiate my idea?

                     Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)
