Edward Devereux, 11th Viscount Hereford

Edward Devereux, 11th Viscount Hereford (c. 1710 - 20 August, 1760) was a British Peer.

Family and ancestry

He was a son of Arthur Devereux of Nantcribbs (d. 1711) and his second wife Elizabeth Glyn. His maternal grandfather was Richard Glyn of Maesmawr.

Arthur Devereux was a son of Vaughan Devereux of Munlyn (d. 1700) and his wife Mary Fox. His paternal grandparents were George Devereux of Vaynor (d. 1682) and Bridget Price.

George Devereux was a namesake son of Sir George Devereux of Sheldon Hall (d. 1665) and his wife Blanch Ridge. The senior George was a younger brother of Walter Devereux, 5th Viscount Hereford who held the title from 1646 to 1658. The descendants of Walter held the title from 1658 to 1700. A senior line of descedants of Sir George had held the title from 1700 to the death of their last male-line member in 1748. The 11th Viscount then inherited the title as their closest male-line relative.

Walter and George Devereux were both sons of Sir Edward Devereux, 1st Baronet of Castle Bromwich (d. 1622) and his wife Catherine Arden. The Baronet was the fourth son of Walter Devereux, 1st Viscount Hereford by either his first wife Mary Grey or his second wife Margaret Garneys. Walter was created Viscount Hereford in 1550 and held the title until his death in 1556. A senior line of his descedants held the title from 1556 to the death of their last male-line member in 1646.

Mary Grey was a daughter of Thomas Grey, 1st Marquess of Dorset and his second wife Cecilia Bonville, 2nd Baroness Bonville.
