Deffle -Dibble

This is where my branch of Dibbles originated from...can anyone tell me more?
Originally the Dibbles came from Germany and their last name was "Deffle" which in German means "Devil." So Adam Dibble, who was alive in the early 1800's, changed the family name to "Dibble." Then his son John came over to America and eventually settled in New York. People wanted to name the town after him but he refused so the town was named "Derby." John's son, Merton met his wife Lillian Townsend in Derby and Merton and Lillian then had Raymond and Raymond had Spencer who is my Grandpa. So that's a very brief little history of my family and there are a few missing spouses.
