Title: Devells or Devilles in Staffordshire
Post by: divisionbell on Tuesday 06 February 24 08:10 GMT (UK)
Based on recent research, I've assembled this rough lineage on my mother's side:

-   Samuel Davall (1766 – 1855) (Stone, Staffs.)
-   Thomas Davall (1715 -1779) (Milwich, Staffs.)
-   Thomas Deavile (1675 – 1737) (Colton, Staffs.)
-   Thomas Deville (1640 - ?) (Marchington, Staffs.)
-   John Deville (1617 - ?) (Marchington, Staffs.)
-   Richard Deville (1592 - ?) (Marchington, Staffs.)
-   Robert Devile (1561 – 1625) (Marchington or Tamworth)

From what I can garner, different "Devells" seem to have lived in Tamworth and Leek during the early 16th century; the oldest record I can find on this is a Richard or "Richardi" Devell born circa 1480. Is this roughly the same family? Has anyone found any further details?
