Deuel, Davol, deEiville, Deyville
by Donald I. Deuel
Note: The following facts were obtained from two sources. The (OCPL) Onondago County
Public Library, located at Syracuse N.Y. This source was used because of its up to date records
and it's centrally located where the Deuel family primarily began. The second source the
"DSGR" Detroit Society for Genealogical Research", Detroit Mich., it being the foremost
authority on Genealogy in the U.S.
"DSGR" The Deuel family in the United States numbers many thousands, and throughout their
history the name has been spelled in about twenty-five or thirty different ways. At the present
time the spellings most used are Devol, Devoll, Davol, Deuell, or Deuel.
"DSGR" Holmes "Directory of Ancestral Heads of New England Families" says the name Davol
(in its various spellings) is of French origin, derived from Deyville, a village or district, in France,
Anglicized from the name David.
"DSGR" The following pertinent facts were taken from a copy of a memorandum received from
the executor of the estate of George Devol, Brielle, N.J. Nov. 1933.
Walter Barbatus "Lord of Deyvill", representing the village of Deyville, now Alaunson,
Normandie, France, is Witnessed on the "Charter of Treport," (protectatoriate agreement
between feudal villages) in the year 1056.
Walter de Deyville, his son, accompanied William the Conqueror to England for the "Battle of
Hastings" Year 1066 and remained as a Commander of a "Marcher Earldom" or military outpost,
later known as the Castle of "The Hode" Yorkshire, England.
Walter had a son John de Eiville verified by the father of Robert de Eiville (Sir Gosceline) at his
Knighthood. Robert and his brother were hanged at York England 1317 as a result of the English
regaining control of their country from French rule.
Evidently some of the de Eiville family escaped due to the fact a William Davol (de Eiville) was
married in Spalding, Lincolnshire, England in 1639 (Lincoln Parish Register vol. 1 p.p. 43 edited
by Phillimore and Maples) but his wife's name was not given.
