General Notes: Husband - David Devore


He came to western Pennsylvania from New Jersey in 1787, with his wife. He and his brother, Moses Devore, purchased, in 1788, 250 acres of land, lying opposite Monongahela City, which land was then in Westmoreland County, later Forward township, Allegheny County, paying 50 cents per acre with interest from March 1, 1771, agreeably to an act passed by the Assembly in 1784. He was granted license to operate a ferry from his home on this property to the mouth of Pigeon creek, afterward known as Parkison's ferry.
