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.

        DAR PUTS MARKER ON GRAVE

        A bonze marker was placed at the grave of a daughter of a Revolutionary War colonel in dedication ceremonies Saturday at St. Lawrence Union Cemetery, Town of Cape Vincent by the LeRay De Chaumont Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution.

        The marker at the grave of Harriett Converse Goodrich Gardner notes that she was the daughter of Col. Thomas Converse who served in the Revolutionary War from 1776 to 1780, wintered at Valley Forge in 1777-78 and settled in Jefferson County, receiving a land grant after the war. He died near Rutland in 1811. The DAR Chapter held a tea in the DAR room of the Flower Memorial Library following the ceremonies.

        A history of the family was given by Mrs. Irene Dawes Dibble, Pittsville, Wisconsin, Miss Doris Lee, Park Ridge, Illinois and Mrs. Marian Dibble Toney of Jacob-Bennett Chapter, DAR, Silver City, New Mexico, all great-granddaughters of Harriett Converse. Eleven descentants from out-of-state attended the ceremonies.
