I’m going to fire up the big box and get on ancestrydotcom. The name De Vere sounds familiar.

“That was the way they wrote the letter ā€œsā€ at that time. That carried through to our Colonial and early nationhood days. The Declaration of Independence among other documents contain that same penmanship.”

George Washington’s Proclamation establishing Thanksgiving Day uses the same letter “f” where our letter “s” is now used.

DeVere is one of the non-authors of the works of William Shakespeare who — despite his death in 1604 — is claimed by some absurdists to have been the “real” author.

I was wrong, anyway. It was De Eure.

:^) DeVere is just du jure, eventually the proponents of each of these claims hit their fan ceiling, can’t make more headway, someone younger comes along with a new name, the former one dies off...
