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.

      Notes:

      http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com~vapittsygenealogynotes2.html
      George K. Smith (the last ancestor that I have authentic proof of in 1953 - BTA) owned around 1100 acres of land in Pittsylvania County, Virginia on Tomahawk Creek (near Museville). According to family tradition, he was born near Museville, Virginia and buried near Tomahawk, Va. where he lived. Family tradition says he was a miller. Value of property, $15,302; George K. Smith married Susan Adkins and had the following issue:
      1. Booker (Bowker) Smith was never married. He built the R.J. Reynolds tobacco factory and manufactured tobacco. He had a train of wagons and sold it through the Carolinas and Georgia. He died in early manhood so showed a genius for business ability quite young. (This line of Smith's are related to R.J.Reynolds' wife according to Dr. George Smith Anderson, nephew of Booker Smith). According to his tombstone at the old Smith home near Tomahawk he died Sepember 23, 1841.

      2. Ralph Smith, born September 1, 1813; d. January7, 1902; married 7th December 1843, Ardennia Wright (b. Jan. 14, 1827;d. Jan. 24, 1904). Ralph was
      willed land on Tomahawk Creek by his father, Geo. K. Smith, and his son, William lived on a farm adjoining that of his brother, Ralph.

      3. William Smith, born September 2, 1818; died August 2,1896. He married February 18, 1856 Rebecca Hodnett (b. Sept. 28,1852;d. July 11, 1904). He owned a vast amount of land on Tomahawk Creek and had many slaves who stayed on with him even after the war as long as he lived, thus making it most profitable for him. He was a very successful farmer. During the Civil War he lost a leg but this did not seem to handicap him in anyway. He once rode horseback alone to Kentucky with nine thousand dollars in his pocket and purchased 1000 acres of land from a Mr. Grubb for himself, Mr. Joe Reynolds and Ward Reynolds which extended from Greenpond back to Bearskin Creek, etc.
      He and wife were buried at their old home place where the home and tombstones still stand (1953).

      4. Jabez Smith married Catherine Ann Mahan and died without issue. They were buried at the old home place near Tomahawk.

      5. Rhoda Smith married John Reynolds and lived near Greenpond Church and they, too, are buried at their old homeplace. Adkins-Oakes Cemetery

      6. Mary (Polly) Smith married Demarcus (Mark) Anderson, son of Jesse Anderson of Franklin County. Their descendants in the Anderson Family Book.

      7. Eliza Beth (Betsey) married Dec. 21, 1837, Naaman Mahan and are buried at their old homeplace.

      8. Nancy Smith, born April 11, 1823; died Oct. 6,1869; married Jan. 16, 1843, Watt Otey Anderson (b. August 18, 1816; d.April 27, 1883). They lived near Greenpond Church and are buried at the family burial ground on his farm. Their descendants in the Anderson Family Book.

      9. Letitia Smith married Ambrose Rucker on December 12, 1853. He was a Captain of Co. "C" 46th Regt., Virginia Infantry. He was at one time a sheriff of some county. They had dau. Mary Rucker md. a Dewberry and dau.Victoria md. Kange Simpson.

      George married Susan Adkins before 1811 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Susan (daughter of William Adkins and Mary Hartman) was born in c 1785 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia U.S.A.; died before 9 Oct 1851 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia U.S.A.. [Group Sheet]
