Thank you ever so much, not knowing the correct spelling of his name I never found the census information before.

Now if I can find someone that know what split the family apart, I will be a happy camper.

Maybe if one or more of the nieces or nephews is still around, they might be able to help solve the puzzle. Jane born 1920, Alice b 1918, John b 1916, Dlebert b 1914.

Delbert Deavers Nephew M 6 Missouri

John Deavers Nephew M 4 Missouri

Alice Deavers Niece F 2 Missouri

Jane Deavers Niece F 0 Missouri

Alice is the only one living and she was so young that she doesn't remember. I don't think anyone who knew for sure about the family split is still alive to tell the story. I have been unable to locate any family Bibles, Diaries, or anything along that line, that's how bad the split was. It's like they tried to complete wipe William Deavers out of family history. I think they won. LOL!

Mabe nephew in 1920 Census. familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K73D-BCD

Did not find the Delbert Deaver born MO as an adult.

There is more than one individual to pick from in trying to guess which location in MO they were born.
