John C. Devereux (5 August 1774 – 1848) was a pioneering Irish Catholic in Utica, New York and its first mayor. "A settler of 1802 and a very prince among his fellows was John C. Devereux whose honourable career and many deeds of charity left behind him a memory as verdant as that of the green isle whence he came."[1]
