David Milchan:
"My father once said that my gf and he may have meant my ggf was a member
of the "MollyMcGuires". I presume you are aware of this reference. That would
have put the family in the coal fields and this may just have been some lore.

I also remember someone saying that my gf had a sister who became a nun
and that therewere brothers. They of course came from Ireland and I am
guessing probably the Donegal area since that is where most of the
McDevitt's originated."

John McDevitt, and Susana McDevitt, on ship Washington, 17 Jul 1865
cabin passengers (John - from U.S., Susana - from England?), to New York
(does that mean that John had already been to U.S.?)
(U.S. = the country to which they severallybelong)

Still wondering if this is them - it seems there were ships going directly
to Philadelphia at this time, but the lists are not online.

Note - the ship list says ... City of Washington, date 17 Jul 1865, but
there was also an SS City of Washington, 6 Jun 1865, same master,
but different tonage and the date is too close. Not sure what this means?
This was the 1618 ton ship, other was 2386 ton.
This is "British Steamer" and other is "SS" ??
