It is my understanding that township of Devonshire is not used, but instead simply "Devon," England. I was listening to an NPR spot awhile back, and they made mention of this common misuse of Devonshire. Something to the affect that it is redundant.

Anyone else on this?

It's not a "township", but a county. Probably either can be used in a historical context. AnonMoos 04:40, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
