Anne Devlin
Anne Devlin (1780 – September 1, 1851) was an Irish republican who acted as housekeeper to Robert Emmet and who was also a cousin of two leading United Irish rebels, Michael Dwyer and Arthur Devlin.
==Revolutionary involvement==
Devlin was born in Rathdrum Co. Wicklow〔"Anne Devlin - bravest of the brave" by Micheal O Doibhilin, Kilmainham Tales Teo., www.kilmainhamtales.ie〕 to a family of long-standing nationalist views, but despite this was asked to move to Dublin to live with her landlord’s sister-in-law following the latter's marriage.〔"Anne Devlin - bravest of the brave" by Micheal O Doibhilin, Kilmainham Tales Teo., www.kilmainhamtales.ie〕 Following the outbreak of the rebellion of 1798, her family home was often raided and many of her family members imprisoned.
After the acquittal and release from Wicklow Gaol〔"Anne Devlin - bravest of the brave" by Micheal O Doibhilin, Kilmainham Tales Teo., www.kilmainhamtales.ie〕 of her father in 1800, her family moved to Rathfarnham, Co. Dublin,〔"Anne Devlin - bravest of the brave" by Micheal O Doibhilin, Kilmainham Tales Teo., www.kilmainhamtales.ie〕 where she met Robert Emmet who was leasing a house〔"Anne Devlin - bravest of the brave" by Micheal O Doibhilin, Kilmainham Tales Teo., www.kilmainhamtales.ie〕 in nearby Butterfield Lane from where he was planning his intended uprising. The constant coming and going of men and materials from the house worried Emmet who feared that the activity might arouse the suspicions of the authorities. As a consequence, Anne's father Bryan was approached by Emmet for help and he suggested Anne's sister would act as housekeeper in order to convey an impression of normality. But she was too timid so Anne volunteered instead.〔"Anne Devlin - bravest of the brave" by Micheal O Doibhilin, Kilmainham Tales Teo., www.kilmainhamtales.ie〕
Although the ruse proved successful and the rising seems to have taken the authorities by surprise, the lack of support among the people and some confusion in the rebel ranks led to its collapse and disintegration into a night of bloody street clashes. Shortly after the rising was quashed, a party of yeomen arrived at Butterfield Lane seizing Anne and her eight-year-old sister. Anne was interrogated, including the use of half-hanging but, finding out little of consequence, the yeomen eventually departed.〔"Anne Devlin - bravest of the brave" by Micheal O Doibhilin, Kilmainham Tales Teo., www.kilmainhamtales.ie〕 Shortly after returning to live in her family home in Rathfarnham the entire family was seized by the military, having been informed on by a neighbor.〔"Anne Devlin - bravest of the brave" by Micheal O Doibhilin, Kilmainham Tales Teo., www.kilmainhamtales.ie〕
