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 
      • This deed sells the land deeded to William Devin, Jr. in Pittsylvania County VA Deed Book 16 pages 240-241 on 06.January.1809 by Robert Devin executor of the William Devin, Sr. estate.

        This deed specifically mentions that the land came from the William Devin, Sr. estate to William Devin:

        "being the same tract of Land conveyed by Robert Devin to William Devin in the year 1809"

        The people selling this tract of land do not include William Devin, Jr., so they must be his heirs, including his married daugthers and their husbands. However, it does not state the land is part of William Devin, Jr.'s estate or that they are his heirs.
