Note: "Captain Joseph W. Devacht--a son of the subjects of the above sketch, was born in Gallipolis, July 28th 1803, where he has always resided, and is still living in his 80th year, unmarried, a most social and agreeable gentleman, widely known and respected. It has long been a custom for Roman Menager and Franklin Carel to meet at the house of Joseph Devacht on every Sunday afternoon, and after a pleasant hour, spent in recalling early scenes and incidents, start out together for a stroll. To one who is fortunately enough to be allowed to enter and listen, it is an hour of unalloyed pleasure, and seems a wonderful chapter of romance."

Hide Details Note: 1860: Joseph, 56, has three young men living with him, probably all nephews: Henry Regnier, 22, a clerk, Eugene Donnally, 21, a ‎[boat]‎ pilot, and Frank Donnally, 22, a clerk. Mary Stone, 62, who was born in England, is their housekeeper.

1870: Joseph, 66, has retired as a farmer. His real estate is worth $3,000 and personal estate worth $13,750. His nephew, Eugene Donnally, 30, is living with him. He is a pilot on the Ohio River. Mary Stone, 63, is still their housekeeper. Mary, born in England, has her own real estate worth $15,000. I wonder where it was.

1880: Joseph 76 now "deals in shingles." He was born in Ohio; his father in Holland; and his mother in France. Still living with him is his nephew Eugene Donnally, a riverboat pilot. Mary Stone is no longer keeping house for them. Mary later died in Gallipolis on 24 November 1895, aged 99yrs 6m 14d.

Notes

Shared Note
‎(Research)‎:Martha speculates, "It is possible that Mary Stone, Joseph's housekeeper, was previously married to Alfred Regnier in Adams, Washington Co., Ohio. ‎[See 1850 census: Ohio, Washington, Adams.]‎ I suspect that Alfred was a brother of Felix Regnier. Julius "Regner" and his wife Virginia were living in Gallipolis in the 1850 census. They had a family of five children, including Henry, aged 13. This is undoubtedly the Henry who lived with Joseph Devacht, unless there was another cousin named Henry who was the same age."

However, based on fairly inconsistent data in Ancestry.com OneWorldTree, the Mary who married to Alfred Regnier was probably Mary Rowland, who first married John Jones, before marrying Alfred. See Mary Rowland for source information.
