Quoting from Vol. XXVII Num3 July 1950 The North Carolina Historical Review pg. 304( which is citing from Wheeler's Historical Sketches, II,294 Land Grant Index) "Thomas Devane, whose name is confused with that of Thomas Devane, Jr., received grants for 2,056 acres of land between 1735 and 1769. Both Thomas Devane and Thomas, Jr. served intermittently in the House of Commons from 1787 to 1792."
