    5452 William Carter's will, probated July 27, 1812, mentions 195
    acres of land he had purchased from his father, George Carter. He left his estate to his brothers and sisters as follows: Mitty Norris, £250; Elizabeth Carter. £200; Melia Carter, £200; Anne Grayson, £50; George Carter. £50: and residue to brothers Presley and Everett.

    27. Presley Carter removed with his parents to Halifax
    County. In 1787 he was the security at the marriage of his
    sister Mary to Frederick Miller. In January, 1789, Presley Carter and Anne Waddell were married in Halifax. In 1791 and
    92 he purchased two tracts of land from persons by the name
    of Waddell; and in July, 1794, Presley Carter, of Pittsylvania County sold to Abner Rodney 199 acres of land in Halifax. Feb. 7, 1805, Thompson Carter, Frederick Miller, Presley Carter and Levin Carter sold to Spencer Carter a hundred acres of land lying on the Halifax side of the Pittsylvania line, and adjoining the land of Chas. E. Carter. This land presumably came to them from their father. Richard Carter. Presley Carter does not appear again in the records of either county. Presley and Anne Waddell Carter had issue four sons and probably other children. The sons were: Peyton, Paschal, William and Stewart Carter. Mr. Iverson Carter, an aged gentleman, who lives near Danville, Va., is a son of the latter, and writes that his uncles Peyton, Paschal and William settled at Dandridge,
    Tenn., and that his father, Stewart Carter, removed to Alabama, where he died, and that about 1840 the widow and her children returned to North Carolina. No other data of this branch.

    5455 William Devin, Senior is considered to be the Progenitor of the protestant Devin family in the United States of America. William Devin, Senior of Virginia was born in Dublin, Ireland and came to America in 1745 or 1746. In 1750, he married Sarah Smith and settled in what is now Pittsylvania County, Virginia.
    --The Devin Family, page 1.

    CJR says William Devin (father of William Jr. and Alexander) came from Alsace Lorraine, France. --Email 25 February 1998.

    A William Davin along with son James Davin is listed in the 1767 list of Tithables for Pittsylvania County, Virginia Colony.

    Like many landowners of the era and region, William Devin Senior owned slaves. His will states that he owned at least one male slave, named Alleck, which he bequeathed to his daughter Sarah Devin.
    -The Devin Family, page 2.

    William Sr. served as Sergeant of Infantry, Virginia Continental Line. He "received a certificate for balance of full pay, according to act passed November session 1781". [more likely this was his son William Jr.]
    -The Devin Family, page 3.

    Children listed in will: James Devin, Mary Biggar, William Devin, Jr.
    Robert Devin, Joseph Devin, heirs of Margaret Reynolds, decd.

    Comments:

    Dessa's booklet mentions a letter to Alfred Harrison Devin written by Rev. Robert Ira Devin son of James, son of William Jr, son of William Sr. The letter is said to make the following statements: 'William Devin born 1724.'"

    These statements may be accurate, but Dessa's booklet, as written, seems to relate that these records have Irish origins. There is a Camden Parish in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. If the referenced records are from the Virginia parish, why do they mention the marriage of William and Martha Devin? Is the Sarah Devin mentioned in the records actually William Sr.'s spouse rather than his sister? Another theory is that the William and Martha Devin mentioned in the parish of Camden records is William Devin and Martha Mitchell and the 2 in 1720 is actually an eight.
