Family[]

He was the son of Edward Devereux, 11th Viscount Hereford and his wife Catherine Mytton (d. 1748).[2]

Lord Hereford married Henrietta‌‌‌‌ ‌‌‌‌Charlotte‌‌‌‌ Tracy (d. 1817), the daughter of Anthony Keck. Henrietta was born Henrietta Charlotte Keck, but changed her surname to Tracy in 1774 — before her marriage — as a condition of inheriting her uncle Robert Tracy's estate.[3] Edward and Henrietta had no children and the Viscountcy was inherited by Edward's younger brother George Devereux.
