  • Notes 
    • John married Phoebe Deuel, 11th month 22, 1772, and settled near his father. When the Hessians under Baum were on the way to defeat at Bennington, they passed through Cambridge, where they camped overnight. Upon the approach of the Hessian, this young couple buried many of their scant possessions and fled to Dutchess county, where her parents were then living. Here they suffered the privations and depredations which fell to the lot of all those who lived along borders of the "Neutral Ground" during the revolution. They did not return to Cambridge until peace had been declared; in 1810 they removed to Peru, New York.
      Phoebe Deuel was the daughter of Joseph Deuel (DeVol) born January 9, 1735, in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, and his wife, Rachel Smith, born November 20, 1738, in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. Phoebe was an unusual woman born 1st month 21, 1757, married 11th month 22, 1772, became a mother 9th month 9th month 12, 1773, bore fifteen children, all of whom lived to have families of their own, and she had one hundred and twenty-seven grandchildren. She lived until 3rd month 16, 1845 and bore with patience and cheerfulness all the burdens of life until she laid them down. Joseph Deuel, her father, settled in Greenfield, New York, where he bought a farm in 1788, in a then unbroken wilderness. Here he lived until his death in 1818, acting for many years as the agent of the owners of that part of the Kayaderossis Patent. - Genealogical and Family History of Western New York, Vol. 1, P. 452-455, William Richard Cutter
      John and Phoebe settled in Cambridge, Washington Co., NY on a farm near Elisha, John's father, before the Revolution, where three children were born to them. During the war they went back to Dutchess County. When the war was over they returned to Cambridge, bringing six children with them. Here they lived until about 1810, when they moved to Peru, now Ausable, Clinton Co., NY. - John Allen and Phoebe Deuel of Cambridge and Peru, NY, Charles North, 1897
