2.Parents of Thomas Bell DEVANE (III): Thomas DEVANE b 1825 d 1817 & Mary LARKINS
3.Ireton DeVane and Margaret Elizabeth DeVane
As shown above in #1 there is a son Ireton C DeVane by Thomas DeVane II & Nellie Stewart. I show him married to a Nancy L. ??.I have never been able to find children for them.Here is an interesting clip I have in his record. From a letter to Henry P. Johnston from Sidney Shurden of Drew, MS, 18 Mar,1980: "I mentioned before that I had run across Irelton DeVane in Carroll County, Miss.I thought I remembered some reference to him about 1830 or so, but that was not the case.I believe I ran across his name about 1820 or 1830 in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. "As you see from the enclosed exerp [sic] from a small book on Old Middleton, an extinct Carroll County town, he was in the area of Middleton about 1790.At this time, this area was Indian territory, as it remained, until Sept., 1830.I may have run across some other reference to him, and if I find it, I'll send it to you.Incidentally, the only copy of the Middleton book I've seen is the Greenwood, Miss. Library. "Irelton must have been quite a character.The only road of any importance at this time was the Natchez Trace, some 30 miles to the Southeast.He was right in the middle of Choctaw territory."
There also is an Ireton Cromwell DEVANE, b 17 Apr 1841 in Lauderdale Co., MS.This Ireton was the son of James DeVane & Anna McClain.They also had 2 daughters - Nancy L DeVane and Margaret Elizabeth DEVANE b 1829, who married John Calvin McPHAUL.
I have not been able to establish any connection between the Iretons and yet I fill there is one.The additional info given in one of the posts here about a Nancy L makes me even more convinced, but info on the first Ireton, b 1795, has been hard to find.
