to see Devereux's nationality listed as Irish. Surely as a Civil War vet and a leading architect, who, as far as we know, never returned to Ireland, he was a US citizen. I'm not even sure what Irish nationality meant in 1860. Otherwise, it is amazing what an oak has grown from my ill-advised acorn planted a day or two ago.

It's dangling. The end just ends. It needs a better citation. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 21:21, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

We used and filled out the person infobox. Going through some related material, I discovered there is an "architect" infobox. See Ammi B. Young. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 02:04, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
There should be a linkback to the Masonic Hall in List of Masonic buildings in the United States, which does not yet have a South Carolina section. This new article is a WP:orphan. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 14:29, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
There are quite a few places apparently where his or his mother's name is shown as "Devereaux" in the 1860 and 1880 census. Is that correct? Should there be an explanation in a footnote, for example? 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:33, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
