: B)George Devenney & Wife Elizabeth-1 daughter Mary 1854 Donegal & 1 son Neil 1862 who married Kate about 1888 in Corkey, Co Antrim.
: C)John Devenney & Elleanor- 1 daughter Hannah 1874 Letterkenny.
: D)Michael Devenney & Caroline Smith-1 daughter Ann Jane 1829 Ireland
: E)John Devenney & spouse-1 daughter Elizabeth born around 1816 christened 29/12/1816 Templepatrick.
