Price Devereux, 10th Viscount Hereford (9 June 1694 – 29 July 1748) was a British Tory politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1719 to 1740 when he succeeded to a peerage as Viscount Hereford.
In 1740 he surrendered his seat when, on the death of his father, he succeeded to the peerage as Viscount Hereford, premier viscount of England, inheriting Vaynor Park in Montgomery. He married as his first wife the daughter and heiress of Leicester Martin and as his second wife (1740) a daughter of William Price of Rhiwlas, Merioneth.[1]
On Devereux' death on 29 July 1748, the title passed to Edward Devereux, a distant cousin in Nantcribba, Montgomeryshire and the estate at Vaynor Park was sold.
