Born in Dongannon, Tyrone around 1620. His son William was born there also around 1675 and immigrated to America. He made his home in Freehold, New Jersey. From a book written by a "Devinney" in 1970 on genealogical research i found most members settled in Pennsylvania or New York. Most men were very involved in the making and defense of America. My line went to New York, on to Wisconsin, then Iowa. From my understanding and what I'm trying to find out is the Devinney's came to Ireland as French Huguenots fleeing their country from religious persecution.
