Is there anyone else researching the Dever family of northwestern Ireland?
I am researching Patrick Dever and his wife, Susannah Harrity Dever. They were born in Co. Donegal, Ireland, married there on 11 April 1852, and soon migrated to the US. They had 5 daughters, all born in New Jersey, 4 of whom survived. After settling in Lambertville, New Jersey, Patrick enlisted to fight in the American Civil War. He died of dysentary in Virginia in Nov 1862.
Susannah was left to raise her daughters on nothing but a small government pension. When she died in the 1890s, her will bequeathed 3 pieces of furniture and $15 to her daughters. My mom has a portrait of Susannah in her possession.
