Dever Family in Cleveland Ohio
Posted by: Jeannette Tapio Date: September 30, 1998 at 23:55:22
  of 1065

My great-grandfather Patrick Dever was born 1856 in Achill Ireland. My great-grandmother Mary (Corrigan) Dever was born in March 1858 in Ireland (I believe in County Mayo) and immigrated to the US in 1872. I am unsure as to where they met and were married but they eventually made it Cleveland. They had 5 children - my grandfather, James Leo (born 1881), Nora(born 1883), Joseph(born 1886), Hugh(born 1888) and Adelia(born 1891). Also according to the 1910 census, a John and Mike Carlon resided with them in Cleveland. I believe they were relatives of Patrick. My grandfather was a fireman and eventually captained a fireboat in Cleveland. I can place my family in Cleveland and Ireland(almost anyway) but where was the entry point for most of the Cleveland Irish?
