I found two McDevitts in the 69th PA regt. of the Phila. Brigade during the Civil War The regimental history is in the museum at 18th and Pine in Phila.They enlisted on the same day in 1861 and one was killed at Antietam on 17 Sept. 1862.The other deserted jsut before the Battle of Fredricksburg.May be a connection with your 1860 McDevitts.
