Family lived in Pike Co MO for less than 1 year about 1835 per father's pension

During the Civil War his Company F was at the battle of Lexington, MO. It is
said that Joe fired the first gun at the battle, but his company was surrounded
by Price's Army & caused to surrender. His war record reads as follows: "It
is hereby certified that according to the records of this office, active
service 30 July 1862 in Company F, 26th enrolled Missouri Militia at Bolivar,
Missouri. Capt. T. Higginbotham commanding, Rank 2nd Lieutenant. Relieved
from duty 20 October 1862 as Prisoner of War. Enlisted 10 Aug 1864 in Co L
15th Regiment Cavalry Volunteers at Bolivar, MO by Capt. Burus. Rank: Pvt.

After the close of the Civil War, Joe engaged in stock raising and farming in Missouri. In Morrow County Oregon engaged in sheep raising.
In 1884, after the death of his first wife & his remarriage to Bell Wall in
1882, he moved with his sons & daughters to Oregon. The various families
settled in Morrow County then a part of Umatilla County. After Joe's death of
pneumonia, Bell Devin married a Lalande & their two children, Stella Ophelia &
James Benton Devin..
Per the will of their stepfather: his children by Belle Wall apparently kept
the Devin name; they were left $250 each in his will. --KLV
Per KLV, Joe died without a will and it took at least two years to settle the estate. Probate file lists YOD as 1886.

 | Bible of Joseph Benton Devin & Elvira PICKEL Devin
Karen V. found a bible in the Stella DEVIN [Lalande] Williams & W. P. Williams collection in the Penrose Library Archives at Whitman College in Walla Walla. The bible appears to be one that Joseph Benton Devin & Elvira PICKEL Devin owned because the birthdates of their children were listed along with their marriage. It also has Joseph's marriage to Belle Wall and the births of their two children.
The bible is approximately 8 1/2 X 11 X 4 or 4 1/2 inches with a metal clasp (now broken) and a velvet or velvet-like front cover. Part of it is in bad shape and shows a lot of wear. The bible has two pages meant for tintype size pictures or slightly larger but none of the slots had anything in them. The pages of the births, deaths were loose (two sheets/four pages) and in a separate box from the actual bible. The archivest reunited the loose sheets with the bible during Karen's visit, so the bible is now in a box apart from all the other "stuff". |
