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?
