Known Issues In Dessa's Book
The following list contains instances where The Devin Family is known to be incorrect or confusing: If you have found any issues in The Devin Family by Dessa Hofstetter, please send them to devin_timber@yahoo.com, so they can be added to this page.
On page 41, something is either missing or the word "Married" in the sentence "Married John Peyton Devin b. 3-14-1895 m. Doris Sharpier" should not be there. This John Peyton Devin (b: 1895) is most likely a brother of William Alexander Devin (son of John Peyton Devin and Clara Higgins) as the birth years suggest. Carol Rick (grand-daughter of William A. Devin) says John P. Devin(jr) is the brother of William A. Devin.
Many inaccuracies in the Red edition book appear to be the result of misinterpreting hand-written notes and letters. In particular, where months were abbrieviated to three letters (Jan., Feb., Mar., and so on) there are several instances where May was confused with March (May vs. Mar.) and January was confused with June (Jan. vs. Jun.). Other inaccuracies appear to be typing mistakes such as hitting the A key when the S key was required, or hitting the 2 key for the 3 key. These instances can only be found by checking the information in the book against primary sources.
- On page 1, Sarah Amith should be Sarah "Smith".
- On page 38, the format suggests "3-Elizabeth Devin Clement Beck m. William Wright" is a child of Elizabeth Devin Clement and Philip Beck. This is Elizabeth Devin's third marriage. Drop the "3-" and outdent to the same margin as the line for Elizabeth Devin's second marriage.
- On page 39, there is some question if "Mr. Beck of Salem, Indiana" is actually the "son of Philip Beck who m. Elizabeth Devin Clement". Research by Nell Truit suggests this relationship is more possibly cousins or uncle/nephew.

Watch Out For Online Genealogies
You may find that many published online genealogies seem to support the information in the Red edition. Do not be fooled by this "supporting evidence". Many online sources are based on copies of an original PAF file that was transcribed directly from The Devin Family (Red Edition) in 1987. Most notably, many family trees found on the World Family Tree CD-ROMs are based on copies of this file. The PAF file was copied and shared with several Devin family researchers. These files were added to and updated with each change of hands and evenually found its way into other genealogy programs. Even the orignal source of information for Devin Family Timber had its bases on that original PAF file (Hopefully, with the appropriate corrections). If you look closely enough between many of thses "published" trees, you will find exactly the same wording, mistakes, and typos in the lesser researched lines; especially in the individual biography pages where no two people do notes exactly the same way, even when copying someone elses' notes word for word. Comparing the online genealogies to "The Devin Family", you will find the exact same interpretions that occurred where format problems in the book caused some question as to the correct pedigree. | Source (S67493)

Excerpts submitted by Michael J. on 12.Feb.2002. Joseph Logan was another of the trio of ‘master builders’ who laid the foundation for other men to build on among the cane-brakes of Southern Kentucky. He was intimately associated with Hightower and Devin, with either of whom he could fully labor. They were strong doctrinal preachers, and he was a warm, impressive exhorter. Referring to Bethlehem Church in Allen County, Kentucky, Spencer writes, “This large old church, located two miles north of Scottsville, the county seat of Allen, was constituted by John Hightower, Alexander Devin, and Joseph Logan, January 31, 1801, and Mr. Logan was immediately chosen its pastor. In the biographical sketch for Alexander Devin (the above was the biographical sketch for Joseph Logan), Spencer notes: “...a member of the convention that formed the first state Constitution for Indiana, in 1816. He was, at that time, of an advanced age, and, of course, has long since gone to his reward. | Source (S67431)

The Devin Family compiled by Dessa Hofstetter is one of the premier sources of compiled genealogy information for the Clayton Devin line. For many a beginner genealogist, Dessa's book made it seem like you did not have to do any research; Dessa had already done it for you. That is, until the beginner genealogist realizes that a compiled work cannot be the "proof" of your lineage. It can serve only as a guide to the primary documents required to prove who your ancester are. For the most part, the information is reasonably accurate and provides a good foundation on which to chart the Devin branch of your family tree. There are many documented inaccuracies in The Devin Family, so you must always check the information gained from this book against primary sources. Dessa's manuscript has been edited and republished by others after her death in 1966. The three booklet editions known to exist have their own set of errors. Unfortunately, the authors of the changes did not indicate the date of publication or editor's name.
Dessa's The Devin Family mainly concentrates on the decendants of William Devin, Jr. (pages 4-37). The Alexander Devin line is on pages 37-41. There is a brief mention for Robert Devin on Pages 2-3 and Sarah Devin on Page 2. Five other children of Willaim and Sarah Devin are mentioned on pages 1 and 2. Dessa put a lot of research and time into it. Family stories say that she used an old typewriter to create the manuscript pages of the booklet from her hand-written notes and letters. Overall, it is the largest and most complete compiled, published genealogy for Sarah Smith and William Devin, Sr. of Eighteenth Century Virginia. | Source (S04009)

Carving the North End Wilderness: Flora is heavy reading with many names and dates as part of the narrative, and tends to be disorganized, despite the attempt to organized it by district. It is indexed by name, town, and subject, but I found several instances were it was incorrect. The subject matter leans toward rambling with inconsistances just a few pages apart. Much of the information is pulled from newspaper articles published in several different early Oregon papers. Despite the organization, I found it interesting reading. It contains many personal anecdotes from the people who lived during early homesteading in northern Wallowa County, Oregon from 1880 to 1930. It covers how the people, industries, and schools developed in the north area. Although the subject matter concentrates on a few families of the area, there are many references to the Nathaniel M. Devin, Governor P. Holmes, William L. Evans, John E. Matthew, and Niels Hansen families. | Source (S04014)

From the Preface of The Flora Country: "The document contained herein, relates the activities and hardships experienced by my family--my Mother and my Father during the first winter and subsequent years, starting in 1890, in the northern portion of Wallowa County, Oregon. These experiences are varied and many--some serious, some sad, some amusing, some frightening, and some ordinary. In this document, I have attempted to consolidate the facts as I recall them, that were told by my parents (some I have heard many times), and other incidents have been verified by writing letters to the many friends, relatives, neighbors, and others that have lived through those times." The above paragraph describes this book exactly. It is very interesting reading and hard to put down after you start reading. I feel it pretty accurately details the life every pioneer lived since the first colonist arrived in North America. For an added twist, this book chronicles the life of the pioneers in one of the last wilderness areas opened for homesteading in Oregon at a time when the industrial revolution was rapidly replacing the agarian way of life. If you have ancestors who homesteaded North-eastern Oregon, this book gives you a feel for the life they must of led. | Source (S67455)

In 1909, they settled in Flora, where Nels built the mill, managed and operated it for about 14 years. He became postmaster in 1923 and in about 1930, moved the post office from the Baker's store building to the City Hotel.

Query whether his name really was Dee Gee Watkins or whether he was Daniel Gunn Watkins, Jr. and called "D. G." There was a Mr. D. G. Watkins who served in World War I, was poisoned by nerve gas (mustard gas), was thereby disabled, and lived on Main Street in Yanceyville in the 1950's with the John Lewis Satterfield, Jr. family. Whether this is the same person has not been confirmed, but it is likely. Note, however, that one source states that Dee Gee Watkins "luckily escaped [World War I] without being wounded or gassed." See: Caswell County in the World War, 1917-1918: Service Records of Caswell County Men, George A. Anderson (1921) at 182.

In addition to his tobacco operations, Ernest O. Foster owned a dairy farm in Caswell County, North Carolina, that processed milk and delivered it locally. Here is a remembrance by a Yanceyville customer:
"Boy do I remember getting Foster's Dairy Milk! In glass bottles on the front porch, cream on top, and in really cold weather, pushing the cap up because the milk froze and expanded ! Unfortunately, I also remember that the cows would sometimes get into the wild onions (and the wild onions got into the cows) and the taste would be in the milk."

_______________
At an early age he moved with his family from Hillsborough to the old "Mebane Place" on Walters Road [Walters' Mill Road?] near Blanche, North Carolina. As a young man he worked on the family farm and at various jobs in Milton and Blanche. Riding horseback, he delivered mail between Yanceyville and Blanche. He also was station agent for the Southern Railway Company in Blanche, North Carolina.
He was a deputy sheriff and jailor under Caswell County Sheriff J. Yancey Gatewood, father of famous artist Maud Florance Gatewood. After his term as deputy sheriff, Giles Mebane launched a dry cleaning business in the Yanceyville building that eventually housed the office of Dr. Houston Lafayette Gwynn and the Confederate Memorial Library. Whether Giles Mebane constructed this building is unknown.

John Bibb Powell (c.1850 - 1924)
John T. Neal was born 20 Mar 1838 and died 25 Jun 1864. He married Lucy A. Howard on 11 Dec 1859 in Caswell Co., NC. Lucy was born in 1835 and died 25 Aug 1862 when her 2nd child was born. The children of John and Lucy are Mary Susan Neal (17 Nov 1861 - 05 Jul 1935) and William Howard Neal (21 Aug 1862 - 28 Sep 1923). Mary Susan Neal married John B. Powell in Caswell Co. on 29 Apr 1878. He was the son of M. J. Powell and Susan. Susan Neal Powell is buried in Shady Grove Methodist Church Cemetery. William Howard Neal married Alma W. Hodges in Caswell Co. on 23 Feb 1898. She was the daughter of J. T Hodges and Mattie. Wm. H. Neal is buried in Moon Creek Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery. [The Beaver Pond Neals of Virginia by Carl B. Neal, March 1965.] Source: Kathleen Dawson (batsbelfry1@comcast.net).
Note the existence in this database of several entries that would have the initials M. J. Powell, purportedly the father of John B. Powell. Moreover, one of these entries, Mastin James Powell married Susan Gillespie. See the Susan referenced in the notes above. Accordingly, John Bibb Powell (c.1850 - 1924) had been included as a son of Mastin James Powell and Susan H. Gillespie. However, it appears that Mastin James Powell's first wife was Susan Hubbard, and that she was the mother of John Bibb Powell. That both wives had the given name Susan caused some confusion.
The Bee (Danville, Virginia) 30 January 1924 (Page 5)
J. B. Powell Dies After Long Illness
The death occurred this afternoon at 1:20 o'clock of John Bibb Powell, at his home on East Paxton street, following a lingering illness, being bedridden for about a year. Deceased who was 74 years of age, had been a resident of this city for the past six years, having removed here from Caswell county where he was born. His death was due to a complication of diseases and infirmities of age.
Besides his wife, who was formerly Miss Susie Neal, he is survived by the following children: Mrs. L. T. Oakley, Richmond; Mrs. Hunter Wults, Mrs. B. O. Lee, Mrs. Gene Scearce, John Powell and Charles Powell, all of Danville; also three half sisters: Mrs.
R. M. Hubbard, South Hill, S. C., Mrs. J. H. Slade, Purley, N. C., and Mrs. John G. Lea of this city.
Announcement of the funeral will be made later, as arrangements had not been made this afternoon.

Funeral of Mr. Powell
The funeral of J. Bibb Powell, who died on Thursday afternoon at his home, 1012 West Paxton street, was conducted yesterday afternoon at three o'clock from the home, the remains being taken to the Shady church and interred in the church cemetery. Rev. J. M. Shelburne conducted the funeral.
The pall bearers were W. H. Wilson, J. L. Abbott, J. W. Bray, Haskins McFall, Dr. Raymond Scruggs, J. R. Stevens, F. A. Gourley.
The flower bearers were John Travis, Gordon Powell, Will Connor, Henry Wilson, W. N. Perkinson, P. L. Anderson, Harry Nobley, J. E. Lawrence, Dorsey Fowlkes, J. H. Ellis,
Holland Fowkles, J. D. Pruitt, G. E. Bondurant, J. W. Williamson, R. A. Vaughn, A. C. White, E. L. Ferguson, C. L. Minter, J. W. Davis, C. E. Abbott, Charles Giles, Henry Weedman, E. T. Ashworth and C. P. Scarce.
Note the reference in the above obituary to half sisters, which indicates that at least one of his parents was married more than once. Also, the obituary of William Brooks Powell (1853-1923) refers to a half-brother, John B. Powell. As all the other siblings were younger than William Brooks Powell, the also would have been half-siblings of John Bibb Powell. Thus it appears that Susan H. Gillespie is not the mother of John Bibb Powell, and that Susan Hubbard was his mother. She apparently was the first wife of Mastin James Powell. | Powell, John Bibb (I14064)

John Green Lea (1843-1935)

_______________
During the Civil War, John Green Lea was a corporal in the Third North Carolina Cavalry Company C (also known as the 41st North Carolina State Troops).
Lea, John G., Corporal. Enlisted in Caswell County May 6, 1862 for the war. Appointed Corporal prior to May 1864. Present or accounted for through October 1864. Source: Caswell Rangers.
See his confession with respect to the murder of Senator John Walter Stephens in the Caswell County Courthouse in Yanceyville, North Carolina. Note that in that confession John G. Lea refers to Capt. William Graves as his brother in-law. This is believed to be Captain William Griffin Graves who married Ann Lea, the only daughter among the eight children of Thomas L. Lea and Ann Blount Wright.
John Green Lea was living with his sister, Ann Lea Graves (in the household of her husband William Griffin Graves) at the time of the 1870 US Census. Note the value of his real estate in 1870 was $8,000. In 1930 John G. Lea was living on Mt. Vernon Avenue in Danville, Virginia, age 85 and a Civil War veteran shown with the occupation warehouse tobaconist. He was living with his second wife in a rented premises and paying $55 per month.
There are two people, at least, in this database named John G. Lea. One was the son of John (Canebrake) Lea and Hannah Slade and died in 1862. The other, this entry, was a Ku Klux Klan leader and died in 1935. Source: The Heritage of Caswell County, North Carolina, Jeannine D. Whitlow, Editor (1985) at 354 (Article #441 "Thomas L. Lea" by Katharine Kerr Kendall).
_______________
Thomas Coleman Walters was died in the Civil War at Sussex Courthouse, Virginia, 10 December 1864. When Thomas Coleman Walters was killed John Green Lea made sure that the body was transported back to Caswell County for burial at "North Bend." Lea also gave Thomas's sword to his mother, Katherine Coleman Walters. The Walters family is in possession of a letter written for John Green Lea by his second wife Mildred in which he describes how Thomas Coleman Walters was killed. Apparently, Thomas Coleman Walters was on a horse just in front of Lea at the time. The letter was writen to Charles Stephen Walters, brother of Thomas Coleman Walters. John Green Lea was an honorary pall bearer at the funeral of John Ferdinand Walters, as was Sandy Banks Moore.
_______________
The following is from Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography. Richmond, Virginia: 1915:
For the early history of the Lea family the searcher must seek in the records of Caswell county, North Carolina, where his task will be an easy one, since for generations that district has contained those bearing the name, their connection with public affairs and enterprises appearing in each generation and filling the annals of the county with their works and deeds. There resided John Calvin [Canebrake] Lea, grandfather of George Addison Lea, a native of the county, who married Hannah Slade, of Caswell county, brother of Nat Slade, a soldier in a North Carolina company in the Colonial army during the revolution. The story is told of Nat Slade that, when the Colonial force had encamped prior to the battle of Guilford Court House, he discovered a Tory spy in the camp, and was so enraged at his presence that he picked him up bodily and flung him into a large log fire about which the soldiers were grouped. Although a member of a family so indissolubly associated with the history of North Carolina, the life activity of George Addison Lea has been in Virginia scenes, and since his fifteenth year he has been a resident of Danville, linked with the business interests of that city at the present time as head of the firm of George A. Lea & Company and as director in several other important enterprises.
George Addison Lea was born in Caswell county, North Carolina, April 17, 1857, and in his youth attended the local schools, leaving home at the age of fifteen years to earn an independent livelihood. Coming to Danville at that time he entered the tobacco business, and for two years was employed as floor manager of the Grange Warehouse, after which he established in warehouse business for the sale of leaf tobacco, in partnership with his brother, John G., and J. B. Anderson, under the firm name of Lea, Anderson & Lea. This relation continued for two years and was then succeeded by John G. and J. B. Anderson. Mr. Lea then engaged in the leaf tobacco business and established the firm of George A. Lea & Company, at the present time holding the leading position in the direction of its business, which is extensive and profitable, measuring well with the other institutions of a similar nature in the city of Danville. He is a director of the Danville Knitting Mills, a director of the Danville Fair, and owns considerable land in Caswell county, North Carolina, including the old homestead of his birth. He holds membership in the House Rock Wheel Club, and belongs to the First Baptist Church. He was a prime mover in the organization of the Roanoke Female Institute and active in securing funds for the erection of the buildings housing that institution. Mr. Lea's political activity has always been in behalf of the Democratic party, in whose principles he is a sincere believer.
He married Emma M. Betts, born in Halifax county, Virginia, daughter of Captain William S. Betts. Her father, whose wife's maiden name was Faulkner, was a captain in the Confederate army, serving throughout the four years of the war between the states. Of the nine children of Mr. and Mrs. Lea, five are living at this time: George A., Jr., engaged in the real estate business in Columbia, South Carolina; Emma T., married A. A. Booth, of Richmond, Virginia, cashier of the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad; Robert Emmett, a tobacco dealer of Danville; Gladys W., unmarried, lives at home; Daisy W. Through the military services of his ancestors Mr. Lea is a member of the Sons of the Revolution, while Mrs. Lea is a Colonial Dame.

Following is the transcript of a letter written by John Green Lea to Charles Stephen Walters describing the death of Thomas Coleman Walters:
March 18, 1932
Dear Charlie,
Your brother Thomas was in my Co. which was Co. C-3-NC-Cal. He vol in the early Spring of 1864 at the age of 18 was in service about 2 months and was killed in the first battle he was in. The place was near Belfield NC He was just in front of me when he was shot through the chest then struck on the head with a gun. I saw him fall from his horse. I went to him as soon as I could. Took his body to a nearby farmhouse had him buried then notified your father. Thomas was an all around fine fellow. Loved by his comrades and a brave soldier. The officers were Capt John Hatchett and Lieut Steve Rice (both dead).
With kindest regards I am sincerely John G Lea
PS Mr Lea is very feeble so I am writing for him. His Bro Sid died suddenly Wed-was buried yesterday. Mildred.
The writing inserted in darker ink was evidently inserted by CS Walters. It reads Col Barringer (He was referring to Rufus Barringer who was actually a Brigadier General) He was with Yanceyville Grays (The 3rd NC cavalry Co. C was actually known as the Caswell Rangers) and his remains were later interred in the Walters cemetery near Blanch, NC.
Notes: According to the official records Thomas joined the 3rd NC cavalry July 14, 1863 much earlier than indicated by Mr. Lea. The town of Belfield is actually in Va., though very close to the NC line. At some point Mr. Lea gave Thomas's sword to his mother (Katherine Walters). The sword is presently owned by a Walters family member. Mr. Lea and his wife Mildred are buried in Mt. View cemetery in Danville, VA. Although she speaks of him as being very feeble, he outlived her. | Lea, John Green (I18015)

Judson Holt Receives Award: Take Pride in America
Governor Jim Martin named Judson Holt of Yanceyville among the 31 winners statewide to receive the Take Pride in America award. Holt, a timber cruiser by profession, is a self-taught naturalist, botanist and trailblazer. Holt was selected by the Governor's blue ribbon committee from 122 nominations in 10 categories, including civic, business, youth, media, education, individual, public-private, local, and state and federal government. Holt is credited with planning, developing and marking the nature trail loop at the Cherokee Boy Scout Camp in Caswell County. Holt also developed a trail guide for the mile-long circular trail which marks and describes the various plants and wildlife habitats found along the way. The Judson Holt Trail is a recreational and education asset to Caswell County and has been used by thousands of visitors from around the state. Holt has also provided seedlings for wildlife habitat development throughout Caswell County. Holt will be recognized with a plaque during a Take Pride in America awards ceremony planned for April in Raleigh. The state's award winners will be submitted for consideration for national awards.

Jimmy Kelley & Judson Holt
From the Editor (Gordon Bendall)
Caswell County lost a good man this month and another beloved citizen has been hospitalized with a case of double pneumonia. The life's work of Jimmy Kelley and Judson Holt will never be forgotten. We have much to gain from their gifts to Caswell County. Passing men and women teach us about life, but in many cases, they go too soon for us to say thanks. The lessons they have shared live on, but memories of their work sometimes make us regret. We wake up and they are gone. It's always too late. After working all their lives to make life better for their family, friends and community, it's unfortunate the last wishes of the dying are not expressed fully so we might pick up where they left off. We could say, "This is what they wanted. Let's work to make it happen." But most go quietly and leave us wondering who is going to carry on their work. It hurts more in a small community like ours because everyone seems to know everyone else.
Judson Holt, 91, is pure Caswell County -- a fighter and a gentleman. Holt has been admitted to the hospital in Halifax County near South Boston, Virginia for treatment of double pneumonia. Holt said, "My downfall was plowing my garden." A few weeks ago, the weather was cold and wet. "It was a chilling cold, all day long," he said from his hospital bed. "It was my fault altogether. I knew better." But don't count Holt out. If anyone is going to beat a case of double pneumonia at the age of 91, it's Judson Holt. As a timber cruiser all his life, Holt remained strong into his eighties, walking large tracts of timber, all day long, leaving most men behind. He amazed everyone with his strength and knowledge.
Holt is a naturalist. The names of all the plants and animals in Caswell County he knows by heart. He shares his knowledge with others and a trail is named for him by the Boy Scouts at Camp Cherokee. He cultivates wild ginseng and is able to locate the roots in the wild. Perhaps his long and happy life has something to do with that mysterious root. He also smokes tobacco all the time. "I stopped smoking about a month ago," he said this week. "The doctors told me to quit until I get better," he said with a chuckle. Holt said about five different doctors were working on him, coming in every 30 minutes giving him one thing or another. His wife, Bertha, is also in serious condition in the same hospital. "I don't know if I'm going to make it," Judson said on the telephone Monday night, almost as if he was angry he couldn't plant the row of beans he had planned for his early garden. His appreciation of Mother Nature's wonders is an inspiration to everyone. "Tell the folks, Howdy," he said, "Wish them well for me."

Mastin James Powell (1824-1902)
Apparently named for his maternal grandfather. His middle name may be Jefferson. See the obituary of William Brooks Powell (1853-1923).

Mastin James Powell apparently was married twice. Note that the obituary of his son William Brooks Powell refers to a half-brother named John B. Powell. And, the obituary of John Bibb Powell refers to three half-sisters. It appears that Mastin James Powell's first wife was Susan Hubbard, and that she was the mother of John Bibb Powell. That both wives had the given name Susan caused some confusion.
The 1850 US Federal Census (Caswell County, North Carolina) also lists a Mastin Powell (25, born in Caswell County, farmer), apparently with daughter Mary I. (3, born in Caswell County), and son John (1, born in Caswell County). If these are children of the Mastin James Powell of this entry their mother would be Susan Hubbard. Query whether she died giving birth to John Powell in 1849 (and whether this is John Bibb Powell).

The children of John and Lucy are Mary Susan Neal (17 Nov 1861 - 05 Jul 1935) and William Howard Neal (21 Aug 1862 - 28 Sep 1923). Mary Susan Neal married John B. Powell in Caswell Co. on 29 Apr 1878. He was the son of M. J. Powell and Susan. Susan Neal Powell is buried in Shady Grove Methodist Church Cemetery. William Howard Neal married Alma W. Hodges in Caswell Co. on 23 Feb 1898. She was the daughter of J. T Hodges and Mattie. Wm. H. Neal is buried in Moon Creek Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery.

A daughter of Abraham, who had not reached her ninth birthday when her father died, wrote of him as follows: "He exacted obedience and might have been considered stern, but he never seemed so to me; he must have been quite patient , for he helped me all one summer after I had failed in the second grade. I do not remember any coercion about the study, for I distinctly remember that I was tempted to give up when I reached the place where the fine print began. It seems the decision to continue was entirely my own. When I was small I sat beside him a great deal on winter days and remember that, though I had two places to play, I was never allowed to have more than one strewn with paper dolls, etc. at a time. When I went to the other place the one where I had been playing had to be put in order first. I have always been thankful for that training in order. My father's word was counted good and he was able to say "It's alright" before his sudden death. He was one of those whose life was shortened as a result of his three years in the army." (Weaver, 1937)
