Which "Davall" line?

[divisionbell]

I've recently been delving into my maternal ancestry (building on the work begun by one of my aunts); based on the records I've uncovered online, the earliest confirmed ancestor I can vouch for is a Thomas Davall born in Stone, Staffordshire somewhere between 1725 and 1730 (Mary Davall/Daventry is listed as his wife and Samuel Davall (middle name possibly Daintrey or Daventry) as his son, born 1766) but can find no earlier information. Although a number of "Deavels", "Davilles", "Divalls" and "Davells" are recorded as inhabiting 18th-century England (some within Staffordshire), I can't find any data linking "our" Thomas to any of these lines and wondered if anyone else could help?

Thanks for this! Based on this, I was able to trace the line back to a "Thomas Devile" in Marchington, Staffordshire in 1520, but could find no further information on him. Anyone have any research to offer on this?
