The Deveraux family originates from Normandy. Locational name from "Evreux" in Eure, Normandy. The place is so called from having apparently been the capital of the "Eburovices", a Gaulish tribe. This tribal name appears in turn to derive from the river name "Ebura" (now the Eure), which may perhaps be akin to a Celtic word for the yew tree. The Deveraux’s were first introduced into England after the Conquest of 1066. Our family line ended up in Ireland till the late 1800’s and they immigrated to the United States.

Clovis Deveraux was a young boy when his parents immigrated here to America, and they settled in the mountains of Montana. Coming from old money they family never hurt in that department. Their range became one of the biggest ranches in Montana. Handed down generation to generation. Montana's Statehood began on November 8, 1889 when Clovis was sixteen. Four years later he was married to a beautiful Shoshone maiden, Morning Star, a granddaughter of Sacajawea, and starting a family. Barely having made it through eighth grade as he had to help on the ranch growing up he still went on to found Big Sky, Montana becoming the first mayor of the town. As the eldest son he inherited the ranch and lived there till the day he died having started a dynasty.

Big Sky Ranch is the name of Deveraux family ranch. The Deveraux ranch lies at the base of the Snowcrest Mountain range. There’s nothing like sitting out on the balcony with a hot cup of hot chocolate with the beautiful mountains for a view. A roaring fire in the fire pit to keep you warm. As well as a throw thrown over you to ward off the chill of the freezing temperatures especially in the winter.

Tristan and Valentina welcomed thirteen sons into this world. She called them her Lucky thirteen. They were married for twenty one years before they were killed along with Tristan's parents getting caught in a crossfire of a gunfight between the law and some robbers in Big Sky. Their eldest son Tristan stepped in to raise his younger brothers with the help of a few of the older brothers who had graduated. In doing so he gave up his dreams, but encouraged each of his younger brothers into following theirs. That was twelve years ago, and the boys are doing the best that they can.
