Citing this biography: Boyd, Michelle, "Thomas Russell Devol and Emily Frances Devol," article, Olive and Eliza, last accessed [current date]."
Thomas Russell Devol was born 25 November 1814 in Bristol,
Bristol, Rhode Island to George
Washington Devol and Mary Bosworth. He was christened 25 May
1815 at St. Michael's Church, Bristol, Bristol, Rhode Island, on the
same day as several of his siblings. Thomas married Emily Frances
Munroe. Emily was born 3 April 1819 in Bristol, Bristol, Rhode
Island to Benjamin Munroe and Rebecca Munro.
Thomas and Emily were living in Bristol in 1840, along with a male under
5 (probably son George) and a female in her sixties. Both of their
mothers were in their fifties and Thomas' mother Mary was living on her
own. The older woman could possibly be Emily's mother Rebecca (assuming
her age was reported somewhat inaccurately), although that is not
certain. Thomas and Emily were living in Bristol in 1850 and in 1855,
when Emily gave birth to a stillborn baby. Thomas was listed in both
1850 and 1855 as a farmer.
Thomas was likely the Thomas Duvall who received a 40-acre land patent
at the La Crosse county, Wisconsin land office 10 March 1857. This
Thomas Duvall was listed as being of Monroe county, Wisconsin, so it is
likely that Thomas moved to Wisconsin sometime between 1840 and 1857.
Certainly, by the 1860 census, the Devols had moved to Campbell, La
Crosse, Wisconsin. Thomas was listed there as a farmer.
It seems that the Devols were in the process of moving back to Rhode
Island in 1870. Thomas, Emily, and two of their children Ellen and
Charles were doubled counted in the census, once in Campbell and once in
Warren, Bristol, Rhode Island. Their son George W. was counted once, in
Warren. Daughters Caroline, Emily, and Mary had married and stayed
behind in Wisconsin. Oddly, the census was taken in Campbell on 13 July
and in Warren on 25 June. Had the Devols not sold their property in
Campbell at the time of the census there, even though they had left
already? Thomas was listed as a farmer in both Campbell and Warren.
They were living in Warren (on Miller Street) in 1875. Thomas'
occupation is difficult to read on the state census but is probably
farmer. Thomas and his family had moved to Providence, Providence, Rhode
Island the next year, 1876, where they lived in a house at 311 Atwell’s
Avenue.
Thomas died 16 July 1876 in Providence, Providence, Rhode Island (311
Atwell Avenue) of liver disease. He was listed with the occupation of
fireman on his death record. He was buried at Grace Church Cemetery in
Providence, Providence, Rhode Island. Emily applied for a pension as the
mother of a deceased Civil War soldier (her son William Henry, who was
killed in action) 18 Oct 1878.
Emily was living in East Providence, Providence, Rhode Island in 1880,
along with daughter Ellen and son Charles. Emily was living at 175 High
Street in Providence in 1882 to 1884 (with son Charles living there in
1883).
In 1885, the Rhode Island state census, at least in Providence and East
Providence did not group people together in households but rather listed
them with one list with the men in town and one with the women, then
grouped according to the first letter of their last name (but not in
strict alphabetical order). However, each person is noted with a family
number and number of people in the family. Emily is listed as the head
of household with two people in her family. The entry for her daughter
Ellen has the same family number as Emily, therefore Emily was living
with Ellen in 1885. According to a 1885 city directory, she also lived
with son Charles at 130 Bridgham in Providence.
Emily lived at a house at 41 Wilson in Providence in 1887 and 1889. She
had moved to 27 Norwich Avenue in Providence by 1892, where she lived
with Ellen (called Nellie in the 1892 and later city directories) and
was still living there in 1896. In 1899, Emily was living at 142 Peace
Street in Providence with Nellie, son-in-law Robert Gibson (and
presumably daughter Emily), and a boarder. In 1900, she was renting 142
Peace Street with Nellie and a boarder. Emily was living there with
Nellie in 1901 and 1903.
Emily died 11 December 1903 on Pawtucket Avenue in East Providence,
Providence, Rhode Island of "Old Age Pneumonia" and was buried at Grace
Church Cemetery, Providence, Providence, Rhode Island with Thomas. Many
of her children and their spouses, as well as her grandson Edward T.
Brown, had been buried there or were later buried there.
Thomas and Emily’s children are:
| 1 | George
W. Devol, born 17 May 1839 in Bristol, Bristol, Rhode
Island, listed as a laborer in 1860 and a farm laborer in 1870,
called an "idiot" (mentally handicapped) in the 1875 Rhode Island
census, died 22 Nov 1879 in Rhode Island, buried at Grace Church
Cemetery, Providence, Providence, Rhode Island. |

Mary
Russell Devol, born Jan 1840 in Bristol, Bristol, Rhode
Island, married Thomas M. Brown about 1868, lived in North
La Crosse, La Crosse, Wisconsin (in the same household as sister
Emily and her husband Robert) in 1870, in Warren, Bristol, Rhode
Island in 1875, in Bristol, Bristol, Rhode Island in 1880, in
Warren again in 1885, in Providence, Providence, Rhode Island in
1900, 1910, and 1915, died 15 Jun 1918 in Providence, Providence,
Rhode Island (at the City Hospital, residence listed as 24
Crandall) of diphtheria, buried at Grace Church Cemetery,
Providence, Providence, Rhode Island. Husband: Thomas Mitchell Brown, b. 22 Sep 1846 in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland, immigrated to the US in Jun 1864, naturalized 24 Dec 1886, a carpenter in 1870, occupation difficult to read in 1875 (perhaps gas fitter), a fish market proprietor (Warren Fish Market on South Water Street near Miller Street in Warren, Bristol, Rhode Island) in 1876-7, 1880, 1881, 1884, and 1885, a machinist in 1900, a steamfitter in 1910, 1915, and 1920, a widower and lodger in a house on North Main Street on Providence, Providence, Rhode Island in 1920, died 20 Feb 1928 at the Homeopathic Hospital (601 North Main Street) in Providence, Providence, Rhode Island of "heart block with associated myocarditis," buried at Grace Church Cemetery, Providence, Providence, Rhode Island. Child: Edward Thomas Brown (1869-14 Jul 1890). |

William Henry Devol,
born 2 Mar 1843 in Rhode Island, fought in the Civil War (a
private in Co. D, 14th Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteers, enlisted 24
Feb 1864), died (killed in action) 3 Sep 1864 in Lovejoy, Clayton,
Georgia. William Henry's regiment, during his service, fought in
the Red River Expedition, the Atlanta campaign, and the Battle of
Lovejoy's Station. The main action of the Battle of Lovejoy’s
Station took place during a raid on Confederate railroad tracks
and stations that took place on 20 Aug 1864 but additional action
continued to take place at Lovejoy’s Station, including on 2-6 Sep
1864, during which time William Henry was killed. He is
memorialized on the family monument at Grace Church Cemetery,
Providence, Providence, Rhode Island but he is not likely buried
there as he died as a Wisconsin soldier in Georgia and the family
did not move to Providence until about 1876. |

Caroline
E. Devol, called Carrie for short, born in 1844 in
Bristol, Bristol, Rhode Island, married Squire Freeman
Richardson, living in Campbell, La Crosse, Wisconsin in 1870

1880 (Squire listed as a farm laborer), moved to Stockton,
Chautauqua, New York by 1888, visited Niagara Falls with her son
William Henry to view a display of electric lights on display,
died in 1889 in Stockton, Chautauqua, New York, buried in

Emily Russell Devoll,
born 27 Nov 1846 in Bristol, Bristol, Rhode Island, married Robert
Gibson 29 Sep 1869 in La Crosse county, Wisconsin, lived in
North La Crosse, La Crosse, Wisconsin in 1870 (with her husband
and sister Mary and her husband and infant son), in East
Providence, Providence, Rhode Island with Robert in 1880-1910
(recorded specifically at 3702 Pawtucket Avenue at the corner of
Hoppin 1891-1910), though apparently she and Robert lived with her
mother at 142 Peace Street in Providence in 1899, lived as a widow
at 3702 Pawtucket Avenue in East Providence in with her sister
Ellen from 1915 to her own death, died 6 Jul 1926 at 3702
Pawtucket Avenue in East Providence, Providence, Rhode Island or
"old age and fatty degeneration of heart," buried at Grace Church
Cemetery, Providence, Providence, Rhode Island. Husband: Robert Gibson, b. 1 Nov 1846 in Canada ("Lower Canada," according to his naturalization papers), arrived in the US (Saint Albans City, Franklin, Vermont) in 1859 or 1865, naturalized 24 Mar 1888 at East Providence, Providence, Rhode Island, served in the Civil War (private in Company G (or GB), 8th Regiment, New Hampshire Infantry, enlisted and mustered in 9 Aug 1864 at Concord, Merrimack, New Hampshire, honorably discharged), described in military records as blue-eyed, brown-haired, dark-complexioned, and 5' 10" tall, a carpenter in 1870, a blacksmith in censuses from 1875 to 1910, listed in city directories as a blacksmith at various times from 1887-1910 (working at Bullock’s Point Avenue in East Providence in 1901), a teamster with a livery stable several times from 1892-1896 (working at Bullock’s Point Avenue in East Providence at least from 1891-1896), and a stable owner several times from 1903-1910 (he was listed in both the blacksmith and stables section in some city directories, indicating that he was filling both roles simultaneously), died in 1910, buried at Grace Church Cemetery, Providence, Providence, Rhode Island. Possible child: (child) Gibson, hinted at in the 1910 census. In the 1900 census, Emily is listed the mother of 0 children, 0 living. However, in 1910, she is listed as the mother of 1 child, 0 living. As she was 54 in 1900, it is unlikely that she gave birth between those two particular censuses. Therefore, either the statistics related her children is either incorrect in 1900 or 1910. It is not known which census is correct. If a child did exist, he or she would likely have died young as Robert and Emily are not listed with a child in any census. Note that in 1885, Robert and Emily's entries in the Rhode Island census (in which entries were not grouped by household) indicates that there were three people in their household. A search for those with the name Gibson living in East Providence in 1885 turned up only Robert and Emily. Therefore, the third person is likely someone with a different last name, rather than a child who would have shared their last name. |

Ellen Smith Devol,
sometimes called Nellie, born 6 Dec 1848 in Bristol, Bristol,
Rhode Island, occupation difficult to read in the 1875 state
census (perhaps milliner?), worked in a book bindery in 1880 and
1885, lived with her widowed mother in 1900 in Providence,
Providence, Rhode Island, elocutionist in 1892-1903, recorded as
living with her mother at 27 Norwich Avenue in Providence in
1892-1896 and then at 142 Peace Street in Providence in 1899-1903,
lived at 3702 Pawtucket Avenue in the Riverside neighborhood of
East Providence in 1912, lived with her widowed sister Emily in
East Providence, Providence, Rhode Island from 1915 until Emily's
death, lived at 3712 Pawtucket Avenue [sic] in 1929 and at 3702
Pawtucket Avenue in 1931 and 1933, then with her brother Charles
and his family in Manhattan, New York, New York in 1930, worked at
home as a rosarymaker in 1920, lived at 190 Wadsworth Avenue in
Manhattan at the time of her death, died 2 Aug 1939 in Manhattan,
New York, New York, buried 4 Aug 1939 at Grace Church Cemetery,
Providence, Providence, Rhode Island. |

Charles Henry Devoll,
born 12 Aug 1864 in Campbell, La Crosse, Wisconsin, an office boy
in 1880, clerk in 1882, bookkeeper in 1884 and 1885, living at 20
Market Square in Providence in 1882, 175 High Street with his
mother in 1883, 107 Dorrance in Providence in 1884, at 130
Bridgham in Providence with his mother in 1885, married 1) Beatrice
Josephine Carter 16 Apr 1890 in Manhattan, New York, New
York (divorced, probably by 1908). Charles and Beatrice were
issued a charter (along with three other partners) for the
incorporation of an incandescent gas light company (New York
Lighting and Glass Company) 2 Aug 1897 at Charleston, Kanawha,
West Virginia (he and Beatrice were listed as being of New York
City at that time). Charles was perhaps a die cutter in Providence
in 1901 and a diesinker in Providence in 1903 and perhaps lived at
10 Shepard in Providence in 1901 and 1903 but was living in
Oakland, Alameda, California in 1902 (date of one of his patents)
and San Francisco, San Francisco, California in 1904 (date of
another patent). He was issued a charter from the state of New
Jersey (along with two partners) for the incorporation of The
DeVoll Tire Company (manufacturer of automobile, bicycle, and
other vehicle tires) 6 Aug 1906 (he was living at 146 West 23rd
Street, New York City at that time). Charles married 2) Alice
Mullin 27 Sep 191? (while the year is given as 1916 in the
index, the original record has an extremely light date stamp; the
year in particular is difficult to read but may be 1918; the
record is found in a bound set of records between marriage records
for other couples marked 26 Sep 1918 and 27 Sep 1918) in
Manhattan, New York, New York. They lived in Chicago, Cook,
Illinois in 1910, in New York City in 1914 (date of two of his
patents), in Manhattan, New York, New York (1590 Amsterdam Avenue)
in 1920, in Manhattan (715 West 172 Street) in 1930 (with his
wife, children, and sister Ellen), at 190 Wadsworth Avenue in
Manhattan in 1940 (with his daughter and son-in-law). Charles was
an inventor who held several patents - one for a hydrocarbon lamp
13 May 1902, one for a burglar alarm 1 Mar 1904 (assignor to H. S.
Howland), and two for vehicle tires 24 Mar 1914 and 14 Apr 1914
(assignor to The American Spring Tire Company). He was also an
auto tire manufacturer in 1910 and the president of The DeVoll
Tire Company in 1913. In 1913, he was arrested on charges of
obtaining money from residents of Peoria, Illinois under false
pretenses. He sold four Peoria men the rights in Illinois to
manufacture his patented spring tire and factory machinery, which
caused a rise in property values around the proposed factory site.
Allegedly, Charles diverted the funds and did not have the
promised machinery. He was a general manager at an auto
accessories business in 1920 and an automobile lamps salesman in
1930 and was listed as a retired salesman of automobile
accessories at his death. He died 25 May 1945 of stomach cancer at
his home at 4590 Spuyten Duyvil Parkway in the Bronx, New York,
New York and was buried 28 May 1945 at Grace Church Cemetery,
Providence, Providence, Rhode Island. Wife 1: Beatrice Josephine Carter, b. abt. 1868 in Chelsea, Massachusetts to Alden Webster Carter and Ann Josephine Ladd (in Charles and Beatrice's marriage record, Beatrice's mother's name is indexed as "Laced" but the marriage record of Alden Webster Carter indicates that his wife's correct name is Ann Josephine Ladd - see their marriage record, 27 Jul 1864 in Charlestown, Massachusetts, in Ancestry.com. Massachusetts, Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2011.). She attended two years of college (according to the 1940 census), lived at 345 West 70th Street in Manhattan in 1910, then at a variety of places in New York City from 1911-1916 (345 West 70th in 1911 (listed as “widow”), 341 West 70th in 1912, 611 West 111th in 1913, 1209 Elder Avenue in 1915, and 153 East 18th in 1916). Her occupation was listed as “real laces” (probably as a maker or seller of lace) at 22 East 34th in New York City in 1913 and worked at Ritz-Carlton Lace Shop in New York City in 1915 and 1916. She was living at 106 Clark Avenue in Chelsea, Suffolk, Massachusetts in 1920. In 1930, she lived in a "residence studio" at 8415 Fourth Avenue in Manhattan (listed as the "housekeeper" and "manager" of the head of the household, Luigi Constantino, whose declaration of intention she had witnessed in 1927) and in 1940, she lived at 76 West 86th Street in Manhattan (now listed as the partner of Luigi Constantino). She was living at 75 West 85th Street in New York City, when she died 9 Mar 1946 in Manhattan, New York, New York. She was buried 19 Mar 1946 at Mount Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge, Middlesex, Massachusetts (along with members of the Carter family, as well as Luigi Constantino). Luigi Constantino was a composer and pianist from Palermo, Sicily, Italy who apparently left behind a wife and four mostly grown children and settled in New York. He had been given the title of Chevalier, wrote an opera to commemorate the building of a railway tunnel in the Alps and performed at Carnegie Hall and after settling in New York, became a music teacher there. For more information and sources on Luigi Constantino, click here. Wife 2: Alice Mullin, b. 13 Nov 1876 in Dublin, Dublin, Ireland to Michael Mullin and Mary O'Hara, lived at 190 Wadsworth Avenue in Manhattan at the time of her death, died 5 Dec 1936 in Manhattan, New York, New York, buried 7 Dec 1936 at Grace Church Cemetery, Providence, Providence, Rhode Island. It is interesting to note that Charles appears in the 1910 census with Alice and their children son Charles (shown in his birth certificate as the son of Charles H. Devall and Mary Mullen - mother's name crossed out and replaced with the name Alice), and daughter Alice (shown as Charles’s daughter by Alice Mullen in a Social Security claim), well before the probable date on their marriage record. So, were Charles and Alice really married in 1918 or was the marriage record misfiled in the record collection? If they were married in 1918, did Charles and Alice live together as husband and wife and start raising a family years before marriage? And if so, what circumstances led them to pose as a married couple? It is interesting to note that Beatrice later started living with an unmarried partner with whom she was buried, so both Charles and Beatrice may have had reasons to live with a partner outside of marriage at some point in their life after splitting up with each other. What the reasons were (legal, religious, or other) are not currently known. No children by Beatrice. Children (by Alice): Charles Thomas Devoll and Alice Frances Devoll (m. Anthony Alexo). |

Excerpts from an Interview of Frank Richard Boyd, Thanksgiving Day 1988
(for the full transcript, see the Interview section of the bio of William Henry Richardson (Boyd))
...
Frank Richard Boyd: Yeah, I can remember going there and
playing. And we used to get on the swing and wind up, used to get so
sick. (Laughs.) Wind up there. Couldn’t walk. That is the same, that
was the time that, you know, kids’re always interested in stuff. Like
my Dad used to smoke and he had Bull Durham, you know Bull Durham. And
they had Bull Durham sacks and I know, Mom said, oh, he give me one
and then they says I always wanted the Bull Durham sack to play with,
you know, ‘cause we didn’t have as much toys. And Mom says, yeah, we
used to send those, we used to save those for your grandpa, Dad’s
father, and he’d send them to Dad, he says, he used to think he was
saving gold in them.
Darryl Boyd: (Laughs.) Little sacks of gold, huh?
FRB: Little sacks of gold.
AB: Did you ever meet your grandpa?
FRB: No, no, I never did.
DB: What do you know about him?
FRB: Nothing.
DB: Nothing, huh?
...
AB: He [William Henry Boyd] never talked much about his
parents.
FRB: No, no. Just he used tell me about apples and having, down
in the basement, having apples, always had their apples down there and
they had apples they could see through, you know. Yeah, like glass.
AB: Yeah?
FRB: Then, he said in Wisconsin, they had all kinds of apples
---, that’s what he said.
DB: He’s the one that seen Edison?
FRB: Yeah.
DB: Thomas Edison?
FRB: That was when he was nineteen years old. Yeah, he told me
he went there to Niagara Falls and seen Edison’s, when Edison put the
light on display, the electric lights on display. Him and his mama. I
just think it was about the time that that picture was taken, I just
think. If you could check when Edison put the lights on display, you
could more or less tell. I think that was taken, like I told you, I
estimate that was taken in 1882, see, because he’s nineteen and he was
born in ’64. Oh, he told, he told you too, course you were too little
at the time.
