• Name	William Bryan Ward Devin
  Born	Abt 1789	Pittsylvania County, Virginia U.S.A.
  Gender	Male
  Died	1840
  Notes	Named in Pittsylvania Co VA Court Records Book #13 as child of Joseph Devin YOB from Nowlin-Stone Genealogy; publ. 1916 SLC, UT It is possible he married Elizabeth Graff 15 Nov 1813 in Pittsylvania Co VA. Per Ancestral File: he lived in Marshall Co TN There is a possibility the William might be the William Devin in the 1820 census for Lincoln county Tennessee. However, it is more likely William B. W. Devin is the William Devin in the 1820 Census for Pittslyvania County Virginia. The enumeration for the Pittsylvania County census is consistant with his mother and younger brother living with him along with his mother's slave, Hannah and Hannah's children. The William Devin in the 1820 Lincoln County Tennessee was enumerated in close proximaty to an Olliver family, which may indicate the Lincoln county William is William Robert Devin, son of William Devin, Jr. as William R. married Rebecca Oliver in 1820.
