Notes
General:
WARNING: ONLY FAMILY LORE SUPPORTS THE BELIEF THAT THIS MARY DEVEREAUX IS THE DAUGHTER OF MICHAEL DEVEREAUX WHO IS PRESUMED TO BE THE SOLE DEVEREAUX IMMIGRANT TO COME TO FERRYLAND BASED ON HIS NAME AND NO OTHER APPEARING IN COURT RECORDS IN THE EARLY PART OF THE 1800S. THE RC CHURCH RECORDS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE 1800S HAVE GONE MISSING AND THUS MAKING DEFINITIVE FAMILY CONNECTIONS IS IMPOSSIBLE.


Barbara Jeannette Morry Fraumeni, their great great granddaughter spells Mary's name Devereux.

In the Ferryland old non-denominational cemetery here headstone was reported on the NGB website to read: ERR BY HENRY IN MEMORY OF HIS BELOVED WIFE MARY DIED AUG 8 1870 AGED 39

03/05/00 Referring to Mary's husband, Henry, Enid O'Brien says: "Even though some of his children are Catholic (as was his wife, Mary Devereaux) Henry didn't change religion and he is buried in the old cemetery in Ferryland."

090312: Actually the NGB reading of the stone above, by Roberta Sullivan I believe, is a shortened version and not a direct transcription. The stone actually reads:

"Erected by Henry Morry in Memory of his beloved wife, Mary, Died August 8, 1870, aged 39 years."
