Devault, a farrier, in 10th Ohio Calvary and was with General Sherman (under Kilpatrick) in their march through the South. He was at Mission Ridge, Look Out Mountain with Kilpatrick, Buzzards Roost and Cumberland Gap. One soldier said, The Wilderness was Satans Country. It was comprised of 74 acres of wilderness. This was during the Civil War, 1860-1865. From Mary Stone Lamb, James' granddaughter: My older sister told me that James Madison had a saber wound in his back but I don't have a record of the wound or where he got it. I believe that his sword from the Civil War was given to a museum in Monon, Indiana. The sword that James M. Devault had was a CSA sword, not his own. James had two brothers that were killed in the Civil War. John enlisted in the 26th Ohio Infantry, Company K on July 23, 1861 and is buried at Chattanooga. He died on Dec. 1, from wounds he received a few days earlier, Nov. 25, 1863 at the Battle of Missionary Ridge. Joseph was in the 60th Ohio Infantry, Company A. He enlisted February 25, 1864 and was killed on May 9, 1864 at Mary's Bridge, Nye River, in the Battle of Spottsylvania, VA. I couldn't find any definitive information on any of the other brothers in the Civil War although they were the right ages. James Madison Devault was born near Jeffersonville, Ohio, January 24, 1843.
