George Devinney, et al. in Chancery Court sale of Burt, Cecil Co.,MD, 1842
Among the Maryland Chancery Court cases is the following 1842 filing:
CHANCERY COURT (Chancery Papers)
1842/12/20
6900: Joseph Chamberlain vs. George Devinney, Henry Devinney, Caleb D. Devinney, Levi Devinney,
Ephraim Devinney, Maud Devinney, Ann E. Devinney, and Frances J. Devinney.
CE. Petition to sell Burt.
Recorded (Chancery Record) 165, p. 335.
Accession No: 17,898-6900. MSA S512-6942 1/37/3/
Originally, Burt was a 93 3/4 acre Cecil Co., MD tract patented in 1789 to George Deviny (certificate Liber IC#D, Folio 509; patent Liber IC#E, Folio 77). Presumably, this George Deviny was the grandparent of the George Devinney in the Chancery Court filing. The 1840 census lists George Devinney (mistranscribed as DEVINREY) on reel M704-163, second district, pg. 218, originally pg. 5, line 26 with white males: 1 at 5-10, 1 at 10-15, and 2 at 20-30; white females: 1 at 5-10, and 1 at 40-50; total of all persons: 6.
By 1850, Caleb D. Devinney had married and was living in Baltimore Co. 1st district with his wife and his younger brother, Ephraim. Apparently, Henry Devinney moved to 237 Forrest St. in Baltimore city's 8th ward where he is listed in 1850 in the household of long time Baltimore seamstress Jane Deviney along with his wife, Mary, and daughter Caroline. However, I am unable to locate candidates in the 1850 census for the other Devinney's listed in the 1842 Chancery Court case. Reel T9-0507; pg. 147A of the 1880 census lists a George W. Devinney, 39, born in DE to parents born in MD, and this might mean that the George Devinney of my interest moved to DE after sale of Burt.
I would appreciate any information about George and Levi and where they went.
Thank-you in advance for your assistance.
