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.

    1. 1.  Martha Barksdale Powell was born about 1899 in North Carolina.

      Notes:

      She was not the first wife of Lea Holt. Obviously, not all the children of Lea Holt listed in the various census records were by Martha; however, several of the younger ones could have been. Also note that the mother of Calvin Lee Holt is believed to be Sarah Barksdale Powell. For him to have married a person named Martha Barksdale Powell raises the possibility of errors being made in ascribing names to his mother and wife. Caution is advised.
