Intro
The surname DeVERRE probably is originally of French origin. It is found in England, however, because it is one of the names of soldiers who fought with William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings. According to the Internet Surname Database, "...they served with conspicuous distinction so much so that the nameholders were granted large estates, mainly in East Anglia, some of whom they still hold after nine hundred years. The origination is from the villages of 'Ver' in the canton of Guttray, La Manche, Normandy, although there is also a Dutch town called 'Veere' on the island of Walcheren, and it is possible that later nameholders may have originated there."
Stories and History:
Ahnentafel #102 - Joseph DeVERRE (dates unknown) - he married Mary [--?--] (dates unknown) before 1803. It is believed he died in Louisiana, thereby adding to the hypothesis that this may be a family that originated in France before immigrating to the United States, rather than a line that came via England.
