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 for THOMAS EGLETON:
        Bible Records: Thomas Egleton and Mary his wife arrived in James River Virginia on April 16, 1741

        According to a manuscript genealogy written in 1902 by Abner Dennis Stultz, Nancy was a sister of Thomas Eggleton of Henry County. While there is no recorded proof, this tradition seems reliable. That would make her a daughter of Thomas (died 1775) and Nancy (Watson) Egleton of Petersburg, whose son Thomas (1764-1845) moved to Henry County.
