This would be Rueben and Marion Devonshire. Daughter Anna Devonshire Dunfee.

John Devonshire

dpmckee1 — 2012-04-24 21:06:37Z

On the American Civil War registration, John lists that he was born in England around 1829. On other documents, it says Vermont, USA and Canada East (Quebec). The Vermont and Canadian locations have not panned out. So does anyone know of a John Devonshire that immigrated to the US> He is listed in the 1850 US census as living in Orleans County, New York. I have hit a dead end on him. Any leads would be appreciated.

About the earliest DEVONSHIRE that i can trace back is GILBERT DEVONSHIRE, born about 1610 who married one Charitie Lucas. She died about 1685. Farnham Royal and Burnham feature strongly as places of both birth and death. You may already have this information. Sorry but I've never put our tree up.

Devonshires moving to North America

dpmckee1 — 2011-10-21 00:06:47Z

Does anyone have a branch of their family that moved to Canada and then to the US? My gggrandfather's family spent some time in East Canada and may have moved on through Vermont. He was a blacksmith and lived a blacksmith (Wellington Rice)originally from England when he moved to Orleans county New York. He was born in 1825 or 1828. I don't know much more about him.

The only one of Clara and John's children that survived was Harry Leon , born 4/24/1892. He died 8/11/1960 in a Veterans Hospital near Hot Springs, Dakota, possibly of MS. He was in the medical dept. of 8th infantry, maybe at Camp Fremont, CA. He also taught school briefly in 1912. I also found that he was an evangelist in Kansas in the 1930s but no evidence of him ever marrying. I have seen that the Canfield family was in western NY for quite a few generations. Do you know any thing about John Devonshire. Even his birth date seems hazy. Also do you have anything about Clara and John's life together?

Re: John Devonshire

MaureenSausen — 2011-06-02 23:33:20Z

Do you know anything about Clara Canfield's family? Looks like only one of her children survived. I couldn't find where he ever married? Correct?

Thanks

John Devonshire

dpmckee1 — 2011-04-26 19:22:07Z

My gg grandfather was John Devonshire. It is recorded in several places that he was born Nov 12, 1826 in Chittenden county Vermont USA. Other sources have him born in 1828 in East (French) Canada and yet his US Civil War draft registration has him born in 1828 in England. He married Catherine Haze (b may 12,1833 County Clare Ireland) in Black Rock NY. (Buffalo) Family gossip said that he was disowned by the rest of his family because he married a Catholic. He was a blacksmith and ended living in Orleans County New York for most of his life. Does any one have a lost John from their Devonshire family tree that may have ended up in the US.

Farnham Royal and Beaconsfield feature extensively in my wife's family (Devonshire) that we have traced back to 17th century. Does this help anyone? Can anyone help further as our tree is public and I have just joined Ancestry.co.

Re: Devonshire Family

NoeleneO — 2010-01-11 09:28:01Z

Hi Jacqui, I don't think they are the same Devonshires.
My lot came from Suffolk after 1760 and before that from Buckinghamshire. None of my Joseph's married a Mary.
If you do a search of Public Trees for Devonshire you may find your connection
Cheers
Noelene

Re: Devonshire Family

JacquiEvans972 — 2010-01-09 21:23:43Z

Hi, I have just started to delve into my family history + found that my great great grandfather was Joseph Devonshire who married Mary from Pontypool. Monmouthsire. Joseph was from Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire and i wonder if he could have been connected to the Devonshire family that you are searching for.

Hello Cousin! How exciting it is to hear from you! I have all the info you need....Doris is my great Aunt!!! I am her sister Edna's oldest grandchild. I met Doris years ago, in about 1980 in Parksville, BC at a family reunion. I wrote to her a few years ago to get information on her and hers for my research, but I did not hear back :0(. Can you please write to me at roamie2002@hotmail.com and I will get you all of the info you need...and I hope you would be willing to share info on Doris and her branch? I know nothing of her children, etc. I hope to hear from you soon! Sincerely, your cousin Kim.

Re: Sarah Jane Isabella Devonshire

We are also searching for any information on the Devonshire family. Our family lineage is through Doris Ruby Rodda. Her mother was Jessie Pearce and her mother was Sarah Jane Devonshire married to Albert Henry Pearce. Our records show Sarah Jane Devonshire was born May23, 1875 in Devonshire, England. We do not have a death date but she is listed as died in Plymouth, England. Her mother's name is listed as Laura Vincent. She is also listed as having two girl children unknown names,
John Pearce born?
Jessie Pearce born November 1, 1895
George Henry Pearce Born 1897
Viola Isabelle Pearce Born 1899
Edward James Pearce Born 1905
Laura Ann Pearce Born 1907
Please send any extended information that you may have. Thank you so much. I am grateful to have found someone searching for the same relatives. Please contact me by my e-mail or my daughter's at dbundren@excite.com. Any news will be good to hear.

Re: DEVONSHIRE in Buckinghamshire

karenjenkins23 — 2009-02-17 16:17:34Z

Hi
Have only just become a member of ancestry but been collecting family info last couple of years. I think I have a link with your Devonshire Tree Line.(Still adding to The Ancestory Family Tree and haven't added them on yet but come upon your Tree and couldn't believe the link.)

My Great Grandfather was Wallace Hibbert (1861) and his wife Winifred Devonshire (born 1861). She was born in Beaconsfield and worked in Ickenham (Swakeleys House)where she met Wallace (he worked as a Gardener there). (All my family were born in Ickenham)

They married abt 1882 and had four children.

Winifred (1886)
May (1888)
Guy Wallace (1890)(my Grandad)- I note in some records he is recorded as George Wallace.
Alice (1892)

They all lived in Pinner, Middlesex for a while and they moved to Bushey in Waltford, Herts.

I believe Winifred was Joseph and Maria's Child. My Auntie talks about family from Beaconsfield and remembers a great uncle who came to visit. I have a photo which was taken in Bushey which has quite a few family members (not sure who's wedding it is - it may have been one of my Great Aunt's.)

I hope to update my tree in the next couple of days so you can see the connection.

Hope some of this info is of use to you.

Kind Regards

Karen (nee Hibbert)

Hi Judith (my name was Judy Lasseter, born 1947 in Calgary, AB). I have 20 descendancy pages to send to you if you want. I just need your home address. You can send it to my e-mail address which is jdbecker@shaw.ca. So glad to hear from you and you will be able to give me your immediate information to add as well. I am now able to give William the correct birth date as I had it as 1839 instead of 1837. I come through John's brother, George Valentine Lasseter.
Any stories you have would be welcomed as I have done a book. I had a Lasseter reunion in 2008 - not many attended but we had a good time. It was the first one. Hope there will be more.

Judi

Re: Eliza Devonshire and John Lasseter/England

art1972 — 2009-01-15 17:51:01Z

My birth name is Judith Lasseter b. 1946. I am now known as Judes Crow. My great grandfather was William Lasseter born 21/09/1837 at Portsea Island, Sub district of Landport & Southsea,County of Southampton. He later moved to Gunwalloe, Cornwall as a coastguard and married Julianna Oats, my great grandmother. His parents (on his birth certificate) were John Lasseter and Eliza Devonshire of East Street, Town Field, Landport - my great great grandparents!

So I'd be interested to hear how you are connected and what information you have on John Lasseter and Eliza Devonshire, as I have none at present.

I have the will of the above man from 1670 who names various cousins and other people. When his widow Elizabeth died in 1684, her will named some of these same people, plus others. I am trying to find the actual relationship as one of those named was Daniel's cousin, Abraham DEVONSHIRE of Kilsby. Abraham is known to have lived in Kilsby between 1665-1683 at a minimum.
If the names HURST, IZZARD, FREAR, PAINE, GUMLEY from Ullesthorpe and Claybrook areas in the 1600s ring bells, please contact me.

I am a New Zealander my great grandfather Joseph was the eldest son of Joseph Devonshire and Jane Connett, he jumped ship in NZ during the mid 1800s, his grandparents left his father and older sister Sophie orphans, but my research has shown there was a large family in the area.
