SECOND GENERATION

2. EDWARD DE VAUTION] DEVOTION was born in 1621 in LA Rochelle, France.

He died on 23 Jul 1685 in Brookline, Norfolk, Mass. USA

He was buried on 24 Jul 1685 in Brookline, Mass.

His RELATION is 8th G Grandfather of William M Worth.

He was the first Representative of this family in America, and was born about 1621, of

French Huguenot parentage. He joined the church at Brookline, Mass. March 16, 1645.and settled in Roxbury, Mass. Mary his wife, and his son Edward were baptized Feb. 25, 1649.

[The only Huguenot active Church in the U.S.1997 that could be found was in Charleston, SC. and a archives was also there] He executed his last will Sept. 25, 1685. It was evident that his name so distinctively English in its orthography, must have undergone some transformation either in England before he came to America or after he arrived in New England either in the spelling or by modification of some kind. Such transformations were frequent of occurrence, not only among the early Dutch settlers in America but also among the French Huguenot refugees. Gov. Edward Winslow, himself a passenger on the Mayflower, afterwards Governor of Plymouth Colony, and its earliest historian, tells us of the Dutch, French, and Walloon members of the church how "their non-Anglican names were corrupted into English forms such as Cuthbertson for Godbertson, Delano for De-la-Noye," and many others. [See Baird's " The Huguenot Emigration to America, Vol. 1, page 282}. It is known that the Devotion family came originally from La Rochelle France.

Miss Emma C. King, of Xenia, Ohio, who in 1895 while traveling from Paris to La Rochelle for the sole purpose of obtaining information relative to the ancestors of the Devotion family, furnished to Mr. Harvey J. King as the result of her investigation, transcripts from official records which leave no doubt that the name Edward Devotion prior to his coming to New England was written "de Vaution" and was then changed only by Anglicizing the spelling the pronunciation remaining unchanged. The transcripts in question were obtained through Louis M Meachinct de Richellese who is accredited in recent literature as the Rochelle historian. They are supplemented by numerous references to historical data relative to the family contained in "Archives Nationale " and " La France Protestante" This family is a native of La Beauce It produced several branches, one of which was located in Poltou at the end of the 15th century; from the latter sprang several small branches all of which seem now extinct in France. The Verified fillation in Vol. 15 of Cherin in the national library at Paris, Dept. of Manuscripts Says This family belonged to the reformed Church before 1585.

" Coat of Arms; La Barre de Vaution, de la Guessonniere L"arggent'a une bande,

[Alias barre] d'azure, charge de [3] trols coquilles d'or, accompagnee de 2 merlettes de sable,

I'une en chef I' autre en point." "First branch De Vaution, de-la-Guessonniere" 1- Jean de la Barre, Esquire, Lord of Vaueernard [native of Dourdan, diocese of Chartres] was the younger son of Jean, Lord de Rinville, and of Marie de Maris. He was an archer on the Guard of the King. He married at the Venerie de Couhe on Oct. 12, 1492, Jeanne Poispaille [or Poupaille] daughter of Peter, Esquire and of Roberta d'Amaury. [She received for her marriage portion the fief of Balut, Champagne St. Hilaire] From that marriage were born 1st Jacques [who follows] 2nd Louis, etc. [several others are listed]

2- Jacques De La Barre, Esquire Lord of Valenfray, married April 12, 1527, Nicole, daughter of Magdelon Mallevault, Esquire, from which marriage were born, 1st Francois, Louis, etc.

3-Francois De La Barre, Esquire, Lord de la Barre et De Vaution. He obtained a judicial confirmation of his nobility in 1584, and again in 1598. Upon exhibiting his titles tracing back as far as 1492. He had married on Oct. 24, 1578 Marie Landry, daughter of late Esquire ord de Sault, and of Junienne de Puyvert. By this marriage he had, 1st. Pierre etc.

4- Pierre De La Barre, Esquire lord de Vaution, Boisde Luche, [named Monsieur De VAUTION]

He was twice married. First on July 4, 1607, with Louise Blanchard, daughter of Rene, Lord de Bonout, and of Anne de Beaumont, and second on July, 30, 1617, with Judith de Pellard, daughter of Nachor, Esquire, lord de Montigny, La Guessonniete, and of Judith du Petit Croix.It dose not appear that any children were born of the first marriage. By the 2nd marriage he had 1st Jean 2nd Anne, 3rd Catherine, 4th Pierre, Esquire, lord de Vaution, etc. Furthur transcripts exhibit the pedigree of branches of the family located at Poitou, Anjou and La Touraine, and state that," All were of the Reformed Religion" History informs us that more than 500,000 adherents of the reformed religion became refugees from France to escape the persecutions or worse, to which all such were subjected during the greater part of the 17th century. Most of them settled in England, Holland and other European states, but many departed for North America, and as early as 1625 several Huguenot families settled in New York City, then New Amsterdam. Others founded New Rochelle. Those who fled to Massachusetts were settled in Oxford, Worcester County, but soon after removed to Boston. [See American Cyclopedia, title " Huguenots " Also Baird's The Huguenots Emigration to America]. Supplementing the forgoing data, and equally a matter of history, is the Significant fact that Edward Devotion, a French Huguenot, and the founder of a New England family settled in Brookline, which was then a part of Boston, in or prior to the year 1645, as is evidenced by the public records and also those of the Church.

While the statistics thus collected do not furnish the connecting link between the de Vaution families referred to, the identity of the names seems to be fairly demonstrated and that they were of one and the same lineage IC certainly rendered extremely probable. In this connection it is interesting to notice the fact that not only has the de Vaution family become extinct in France, as above stated by M. Louise M. Meschinet de Richemond, but while there are now living many lineal descendants of Edwaed Devotion who bear the names of those who became the husbands of daughters who inherited it, not one male descendant bearing the name is now living to perpetuate it and it must soon become extinct. The last John L. Devotion of Norwich, CT. was the last male representative of the name. His widow and daughters now [1898] reside in the City of New York. As a well deserved tribute to the memory of the six generations who inherited the name of Edward Devotion, a name which soon will survive as a memory. It may fittingly be added that many of the sons who bore the name were prominent in their day and generation in the legal profession, the Judiciary and the pulpit, and of daughters several became wives or mothers of men distinguished as statesmen, jurists and educators. Prominent among them were two daughters of Rev. Ebenezer Devotion [1714- 1771] Martha who in 1761 became the wife of Samuel Huntingdon, afterwards Governor of CT. and President of the Continental Congress, and Hannah who in 1764 became the wife of Rev Joseph Huntington and later the mother of Samuel Huntington, Governor of Ohio, and Frances the wife of Rev. Dr. Griffin, President of Williams College. The old Devotion House [from historical sketches of Brookline by H.F. Woods]

" Next west of the Seawall estate [on Harvard Street] is situated what has been in modern times known as the Bapcock farm, but in Judge Seawall's day was the property of John Devotion". The house is a curious old relic of former times and the beautiful elms which shade it were no doubt set out by the hands of an ancient owner, whose devotion to the interests of his church and town suggests the idea that a similar characteristic in his ancestry may have earned for the family its very uncommon name. The town of Brookline has built [1907] upon adjoining land a fine primary and kindergarten school, known as "the Edward Devotion School" and it owns the old house. The town is soon to build a Grammar school on the site and " The Isaac Gearner Chapter, D.A.R. is to present a petition to the town to save the old house and to remove it to a position nearby.

His WILL ON FILE in Will on File at Hartford, CT.

REV. Ebenezer Devotion was for many years [1710-1741] the 3rd minister of the town of Suffield, CT. He was a graduate of Harvard College in 1707. He was ordained at Suffield June 28,1710 as town Minister with a salary of 80 Pounds per annium and a dwelling house and continued as minister until his death. He was buried at Suffield and on his Tombstone appears the following epitaph " Here lies the body of Rev.. Ebenezer Devotion late minister of the Gospel of this town, who died April the 11th, 1741 in the 31st year of his ministry at 57. He was a man of sound judgement, great Stability of mind @ singular Modesty and Humility, a True Friend and Faithful Minister, steady in his attendance upon the Alter, close and pungent in his preaching and very exemplary in his life, a Pattern of Industry and Resignation and of all Christian Graces, as while living he was greatly beloved so his death was very much lamented." He had outlived 3 wives and left behind 9 children.

He left a considerable estate to be divided among his 3 children Ebenezer, Hannah and Mary.

His son Ebenezer and Joseph King were executors of his will and took care of the estate for 13 years until it was settled. The inventory of the estate was taken 24 April 1741 and amounted to 5,000 Pounds. In his inventory was mentioned 2 oxen 30 Pounds and Philip the Negro man 30 Pounds. [The records show that their Negro woman Sarah died Oct. 26, 1713] The slave was invoiced among the cattle.

The services of Capt. Joseph King in handling the estate seem to have been appreciated; for attached to the "Reckoning" or settlement of the estate is the following paper.

" Whereas Capt. King, one of the aforesaid Executors, has spent much time and care for thirteen years past to settle the aforesaid Estate, and has omitted to take a particular and exact account of many the lesser Articles of time and charge which cannot be come at the said Devotian executor with him Judge, It Reasonable, and accordingly give my consent to abate and allow the sd Joseph King for such extraordinary Trouble 20 pounds which he owes the estate, and which has not been recorded in the above reckoning due to the estate for the improvement of the slow lot and 20 pounds out of his debt in the foregoing page, and to give a quit claim of the before named 3 acres and thirty four rod in the great common, and my right in the undivided land mentioned in the foregoing page, all amounting to near about 70 pounds dated 25 Feb. 1755 signed Eb Devotion and witnessed by Don Smith, Kezia Smith, Jemima Devotion, Ezeliel Bissell, Mary Devotion, Ruth Bissell, John Devotion. "

As the pastor at that time ministered to the Town and not just one church he was the most important person in the town. In a town meeting of August 2, 1709 the record states.

" Mr. Devotion having already given the inhabitants a taste of his labors and some proofs of his abilities and accomplishments for the work of the Ministry to their liking and satisfaction he be invited to stay with them," Mr. Devotion's terms were stiff for the day.

A salary of eighty pounds a year for five years, one hundred pounds a year thereafter, in addition for settlement, it was voted to give Mr. Devotion" one hundred and fifty Pounds as money and 60 acres of land" With the one hundred and fifty pounds, Samuel Harmon's house lot was purchased and a house was built for Mr. Devotion. In 1726 the town voted to Mr. Devotion twenty pounds towards the purchase of his Negroes. It was the prideful habit of the ministers, magistrates and innkeepers to keep Negroes. THEY WERE SLAVES, but they were referred to rather meticulously in the colonies at the same time only as servants. It must have helped the conscience.

By some miracle his father was released by the Indians and returned to Suffield, Joseph remained with the Indians for the next 10 years learning their language, their customs, and their manners, superstitions and wiles. He lived like an Indian. Then in 1714 he returned to Suffield and married Rachel Devotion, sister of Rev. Ebenezer, and became the recognized expert in Indian lore in all the Colonies. With his other knowledge, of course, went his language facility making him the outstanding interpreter available. In 1722 at the age of 34, Joseph Kellog was made Captain in the Colonial forces and became commandant of Fort Drummer. This was the white outpost in the northern wilderness in the CT. river, which was later to become Brattleboro, Vermont. Captain Joseph Kellog was in command at Fort Drummer until 1740.

While holding this post he served as an adviser during the negotiations with the Indians which produced the Albany Treaty in 1754. He worked constantly for the betterment of the Indians, a people to whom he felt close. He refused to believe that a peace could not be arranged beneficial to all. He was working toward that end in one of his many Indian conferences in the environs of Schenectady, N.Y. when he died in 1756. His brother Martin, and his sister, Rebecca returned from their imprisonment and gave their lives over to the betterment of the Indians. They served as interpreters in the new Indian missions and schools that were already being established. The older sister, Joanna, lost her heart, literally, to the Indians.
