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.

      Stella DEVIN Williams Collection
      Stella DEVIN Williams Collection (11)
      Found in a bankers box for the Stella DEVIN [Lalande] Williams & W. P. Williams collection in the Penrose Library Archives at Whitman College in Walla Walla. There was an entire banker's box full of the old portrait photographs with only a few marked as to who they were. Also in the box was a handful of snapshots and few of them were marked. A lot of things belonged to the insurance business owned by Stella's husband and most were his Masonic pictures, articles, etc. Most of the pictures Stella had were unmarked. There were many pictures of her husband who was called Billy. He was a very active member of the Masons. He was an independent insurance agent in Walla Walla and a prominent member of the community.
