Person:Frederick DeVOE (2)

Lived with his parents until the death of his father. After his father's death in 1753, leased a farm on the Philips Manor, In Lower Yonkers, where he engaged in farming and stock-raising. Here he was living when the Revolution began; being then over 60 years of age and not in very robust health, he was not called upon for duty as a soldier.

In the latter part of 1776, and after the battle of White plains took place, this portion of Westchester County was for years the unprotected 'neutral ground,' where numerous depredations and scenes of atrocity took place. De Veaux/Voe experienced harrassment, theft of livestock, and other goods. See Genealogy for further details.
