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.

      heirs of Elvira Devin deceased

      State of Oregon }
      County of Morrow } SS B. Geo. Wm. Wright
      being first duly sworn say that I am
      atty for claimants in above claim
      and that the facts therein are true
      as I verily believe, My sources of in-
      formation being from claimants and from
      Mrs. Belle Devin a party interested herein.
      The reason that this verification is not made
      by me of the claimants -- is because neither one
      of them are in town at this time, and because the Claim
      hereto attached is duly verified. Geo. Wm. Wright.
