Capt. John Dever is my gr. gr. Uncle.He married Sarah F."Sally" Irvin 11 Oct. 1858 in Casey Co. Ky.I live in Gravel Switch, Ky. about three miles from where John was born. I knew he went to Honey Grove Tx. by train and paid $9.00 for the tickets.I made a trip to Honey Grove and found the grave of his son William C. "Willie" Dever B. 9 June 1869 in Oakwood Cem.He was buried on large lot and I presumed the family was buried there with no markers.His Uncle Philip Peyton Dever went to Devers, Tx. and that town is named after his son Thomas.His Aunt Theodocia married Roswell Skinner and lived in Liberty, Tx.He ran a riverboat on the Trinity River.John's brother Philip is my gr. grandfather.He remained at Gravel Switch and is buried in Rogers Cem. here which is in Casey Co. Ky.I can go back 7 generations, but have no information on John's family after he went to Texas.I have seen his papers from Civil War at Liberty, Ky. at the Casey Co. Library.I am very interested in information about John's family and will share any inforamtion I have.Just ask for what you need.I did a book on the Dever Family, but think I sold about all the copies.John's father is Silas Lindsey Dever and his mother Mary "Polly" Thornton.They are buried on the old home place with no markers.I plan to get the gravesite marked.I visited the family cem. last fall and it is on top of a hill and the site up the river is breath taking.My line down is Philip to his son William Watt called "Wad" to my mother Eulalia Dever Sweazy to me Eula Ray Sweazy Kirkland.
