I am looking to see if there is any more lore on the Deverin family than what is on pathfinder wiki https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/House_Deverin
It says in the RotR Players Guide “The Deverin family was once affiliated with the Chelish resistance, but was forced to flee to Varisia.”
One of my players used that to tie his character to the AP.
So I’m hoping to use that family history to create more connections with his story. Is there anything else out there I haven’t found? Or should I write my own?

There's not a great deal of info. They're generally well-liked within the region - the Deverins have always been elected to the position of Mayor when an election occurs, over the objections of the Scarnettis. That good will was earned when the Deverins negotiated a treaty between the city of Magnimar and the native Varisians who live in the area, made more difficult after one of the Scarnettis rounded up a mob to try to kill the Varisians and pin it on a goblin attack.
There's more in the Magnimar book, and since the AP eventually goes there, it's not a bad idea to have that handy. Is your player's character a Deverin? Or just a friend of the family from Cheliax?
I don't know anything about Deverin's history in Cheliax, but there are some bits of info about their deeds in Sandpoint.
When Sandpoint settlement was about to be estabilished by Magnimarian settlers, a conflict arised with the local Varisians. A member of Deverin family, Almah Deverin, at that time a young bard, was a significant help with making peace with local Varisians and saving the plans for settlement; thanks to the deal she made the worship of Desna was incorporated into the new's town cathedral. (RotR AE, p. 372)
All the mayors in Sandpoint's history were Deverins. The first one was one of the founders of Sandpoint, Amos Deverin. The second was his son Fenchus. Both died in unfortunate accidents. The third and current mayor, Kendra Deverin is Amos's youngest daughter. (RotR AE, p. 385)
Expanding the family's brewing business, Wade and Gaven Deverin, cousins of mayor Kendra Deverin, established the Two Brothers' Brewery in Sandpoint few years after Sandpoint was founded. Wade was killed since then by Chopper the serial killer, but Gaven is still alive and running the business. (RotR AE, p. 383)
