The Devereaux Story is quite complex and detailed, and is told quite nicely in other web sites to include
devereaux.50megs.com/custom2.html and www.ancestry.com. For this reason, I won't attempt to recreate it here. However, I
have included portions of their genealogy for two reasons. The first is to highlight an anomaly, i.e., three siblings from the
Erastus Devereaux family married three siblings from the David Welsher family. The second reason is to enable any of my
female descendents to join the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), if they so desire, by pointing out the fact that one of
our ancestors has been documented as being a member of the New York State Militia during the Revolutionary War:
