• Notes

  Eleanor was only 7 years old when her father died. In 1763, Eleanor's uncle, Patrick Stewart, dictated a detailed family tree, which was subsequently added to by by Dr. James Caraway in 1789, in which Eleanor is described as "Eleanor married a Devaughn, in North Carolina, where they still reside, if alive." She is recorded as age 72 at her time of death. "The Invincible" publication mistakenly gives her husband as Henry Cage of Woodville, Mississippi, USA. ----------- Penelope Helen “Nellie” Stewart Devane BIRTH 24 Mar 1771 New Hanover County, North Carolina, USA DEATH 13 Jan 1845 (aged 73) New Hanover County, North Carolina, USA BURIAL Burial Details Unknown MEMORIAL ID 138485061 · View Source MEMORIAL PHOTOS 0 FLOWERS 2 Helen Penelope "Nellie" Stewart married Thomas DeVane, III on June 6, 1792 following the death of Thomas's first wife, Margaret Bloodworth, a daughter of Senator Timothy & Priscilla Jones Bloodworth.
