He had a tannery there until the close of the Civil War when the Federals destroyed it. Everything he had was destroyed, except the land ---- he raised a large family of twelve and did not have much time to talk of the past." [His brother, George Henry DeVault also operated a tannery at Elizabethton, Tennessee, which was also destroyed by the Federals.]
"My grandfather [Jacob DeVault, Sr.] came to the DeVault Settlement when my father was a young man, 16 years old." [Joseph remembers his father telling him this and as his father was born in 1819, this would make the year 1835, when Jacob, Sr. left Washington Co., Tennessee and moved to Sullivan Co., Tennessee, just east of DeVault's Ford. This was about the time of Jacob, Sr.'s second marriage.] "The home in which my Grandfather lived near the DeVault Settlement, on the Watauga, was burned. He was badly burned and spent the remainder of his life with his datghter, Mary, who married Warrington Hunt and was buried in the old Cemetery at Jonesboro. I do not know where or when his first wife died or was buried."

Just a little to acquaint you with our children. We raised six and helped to raise three of my younger brother's. We gave all six of our children a college education and helped two of my brother's to get one (one died) -- not a black sheep in the family. All are doing excellent in their work, but so, so far from home that most of them do not get here more than once a year -- all members of the Church and I hope Christians. I pray daily that they may live better lives than I have been able to do. And may God continue his mercy on us. May God bless you and yours."
