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.

      Notes:

      !Questions: Spelling of Name - Nowlin or Nolan
      First name maybe Susan.
      POB from History of Gibson Co IN p. 55; FHC #0934905
      This book gave DOD as 8 November 1840.

      The Devin Family, page 37 lists her DOD as 8 November 1846.

      Census:
      1830 Gibson Co IN p 159A (Suckey or Sukey)
      2 males 20-30 1 female 50-60; 2 females 15-20

      Was a second generation American. Her grandfather came from Ireland.

      Via Ethel S. Mattingley FHC #0928908: Bible records at Washington Co IN
      Historical Society show DOB as 12 Mar 1772.
      Per Hist. of Gibson Co IN p 452: DOB = 12 Mar 1771

      "The Devin Family", on page 37, says Susan is the daughter of Edward and Mary Wade Nowlin of Virginia. However, on page 2, a quote from the will of Bryan Ward Nowlin says Sucky is his daughter. Research by Anna Hudelson [Nowlin-Devin missive; 1929-1977] shows Edward Nowlin and Mary Wade to be the parents of Bryan Ward Nowlin; Susans paternal grandparents.

      Notes:

      It is possible that 9 July 1791 is their marriage bond date and 10 July 1795 is the date of their marriage.
