General Notes

From  Family Tree Maker, book.com section. Book's name: "The Deveaux
Family" by Thos. F. De Voe
The next earliest arrival found here was 49David du Four, whose surname
appeared differently spelled from any other branch who had yet arrived
here, either before or after him; we find, however, that other and later
arrivals , whose surnames, though differently spelled, yet they were
attracted near where Du Four had settled. When their generations became
connected, and after after a period, the spelling of the name Du Four
ceased to exist, or at least it became unknown in the settlement.
Our esteemed friend 2575 James Riker, in his interesting "History of
Harlem" informs us that 49David du Four, whose posterity, which became
numerous in this country, changed the form of their name to Devoor and De
Voe". He was a native of Mons, in Hainault; upon this place being
threatened by the successes of the French in the Walloon districts
retired withothers of his family to Sedan, and afterwards to Amsterdam,
where du Four, though fitted by education for a better position, became
an 'opperman' or drayman. Left by the death of his wife, 2576Mary Boulen,
with a young child, 50Jean or John, born during their stay in Sedan, he
found another companion in 2577Jeanne Francis, a mature lady of
thirty-two years, from Queivran, a little east of Mons, to whom he was
married July 10, 1657. Then same year, with his new wife and his little
son aforesaid, he sailed for Manhattan Island , the present New York.
After du Four's arrival he settled at Harlem, where he obtained some ten
morgens of land in 1662, on which he was residing in 1674 when 51Nicholas
de Vaux arrived at that place. The surnames being so much alike, they
perhaps came to the conclusion they were kinsmen; which to no doubt led
du Four to change the letter F in his name to V, and afterwards his
generations altered it to De Vore and De Voe.
Du Four remained at Harlem until 1677, when he and his son obtained a
grant of some sixty acres of land near "Turtle Bay", on the East River,
where he resided until his death , which occurred about 1698, leaving his
children named in his will, proved in 1699, 52John, 53 David, 54Peter,
55Glaude, and 56Adrien, the last three of which there is no account.
