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.

    • Name James Allen Mitchell 
      Born 31 Jan 1792  Marlowe homeplace, Callands, Pittsylvania, Virginia U.S.A. Find all individuals with events at this location 
      Gender Male 
      Died Aft 1880  Tennessee U.S.A. Find all individuals with events at this location 
      Notes 
      • It appears that this family migrated to Tennessee between 1842 and 1847 shown as the births of his children. One born in Virginia in 1842 and the next born in Tennessee in 1847. This information given shows he married two women in the same year; so I doubt he had more than one wife. It is probably Sarah Vaden of Pittsylvania Co., VA who was his wife. Also he is said to have died in 1860; and then shown as 90 in the household of his son John in 1880 in Tennessee.
      • If he is shown on the Weakly Tenn census in 1880, he could not have died in 1860!- Mary Frances Eggleston
