Daphne, A Google search for "John C. Devereux" brings up the following two sites. According to them, John C. Devereux had no children. Nicholas Devereux (b. 7 June 1791 - d. 29 December 1855) had at least two daughters, Mary a Catholic nun and (Hannah) who m. US Senator Francis Kernan. These items give the origin of the Devereux brothers as near Enniscorthy, County Wexford, Ireland. They helped make it possible for others to come from Ireland. Interestingly, I had an Irish great-grandmother who migrated from prob. Enniscorthy in County Wexford to Utica, but much later. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/16033b.htm http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/16033a.htm Joanne Garland ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Scott" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, June 08, 2003 8:00 PM Subject: [NYONEIDA-L] DEVEREUX > Hi List, > I have just joined your list in the hope of finding some more information on the following family who were said to be in the Utica area, > > KERAN DEVEREUX ( var spellings for both names ) > wife ELLEN both born Ireland 1817 and 1819 > > children include MARYANN born 1841, MARGARET born 1842, PETER 1845, THOMAS 1847, JOHN 1849 and JOSEPH 1853. > > They were in Doniphan Co Kansas by 1862, there could have been older children. > > Any help with this family would be wonderful, thanks > Daphne > NEW ZEALAND. > > > ==== NYONEIDA Mailing List ==== > Contact the List Manager at [email protected] > Oneida Co Surname page http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~myplace/oneida.html > List Rules http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~myplace/mailing.html > Oneida Co Genealogical & Historical Site http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyoneida/ >
