According to the Tithe Applotment Book of 1833 John Diver & Co were listed as the sole occupiers of the townland of Lettertrask.
Griffiths Valuation of Tenements of 1856 listed Dennis(b1824), John(b1799), Anthony(b1812) and Felim Devers(b1803) as joint lessors of the townland.
Felim and Anthony are known to be brothers, however its less clear with Dennis and Hugh.
My ansestor(gg grandfather) is Anthony (b1812).
Of the Dever's that came to Chicago (my grandfather and a great uncle) they both changed their name to Dwyer.
Dwyer is a very common name in Chicago as when we had telephone books I remember noting there were 5 pages of Dwyer's.
