children, of whom Davault is the eldest son. He was born in Philadelphia June 30, 1836. He received his education
in the common schools of McKean county, and spent his boyhood days upon the farm with his parents until twenty
one years of age. When he reached his majority, he began work for himself as a laborer, and August 24, 1864, married
