News: Looking for females who are in the pure female lines (mother to daughter) from William and Sarah who are willing to do an mtDNA test. Such a person would be descended along an all female line from Mary DEVIN Biggers or Margaret DEVIN Reynolds. The hope is to identify the markers for Sarah SMITH Devin to help identify her parents. Contact the webmaster if interested.

Devin descendant, Stanley Wayne Devin, passed away at 1:30 a.m. on Dec. 4, 2014. He was the last living child of Ira & Oleta Devin.

      -------------------------
      Hi Karen , I may have already sent you this, so if I did just ignore it. You
      asked if I knew when and where Christian Cones died. It was 9-11-1777 in
      Georges twp. Chester county, Maryland. I apparently had said that Jacob and
      his wife Jane McCullough was born in Lancaster Va. It was a typo error as my
      records show Lancaster, Pa. How many children do you have for Jacob and Jane ?
