Trying to locate information on William M. McDevitt, and wonder if he was a member of the Watrous Post, Binghamtion. He enlisted in the 1st NY Veteran's Cavalry at Waterloo, Seneca Co., NY. His service record says that he said he was born in Broome Co., NY. Cannot find him in other records. Another Michael McDevitt was a member of the 137th NY Regiment and was a member of the Watrous Post. William and Michael could be related.
