      Notes:

      The Devin Family, page 39 states that the unnamed husband of Susan Devin was the son of Philip Beck; who had married her sister, Elizabeth Devin. KLV thinks that the husband of Susan Devin is the son of Philip Beck by a prior marriage. JNT in an email dated 04.October.1998, says father of Susan Devin's husband is George Beck; a cousin of Philip Beck.

      He was from Salem, IN. (Washington Co.)

      Rowan County, North Carolina became Davidson County, North Carolina. Andrew Beck moved with his parents to Washington County, Indiana Territory in 1808. [Beck & Tittle Footprints; 19981001]

      When Susan died, Andrew had the responsibility of a new born baby, a son, Alexander, eighteen months old, and four young daughters. He must have had help from other family members where they lived at Beck's Mill. Andrew M. Beck remarried two years after Susan died to Rebecca Barker. [JNT email 04.October.1998]. They moved to near Terrell, Kaufman County, Texas in 1854.

      Andrew married Susan Nowlin Devin on 06 May 1821 in Washington County, Indiana U.S.A.. Susan (daughter of Rev. Alexander Devin and Susannah Nowlin) was born on 22 Sep 1796 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia U.S.A.; died on 05 Dec 1832 in Washington County, Indiana U.S.A.. [Group Sheet]


    2. 9.  Susan Nowlin Devin was born on 22 Sep 1796 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia U.S.A. (daughter of Rev. Alexander Devin and Susannah Nowlin); died on 05 Dec 1832 in Washington County, Indiana U.S.A..
