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 
      • 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).

        1880 United States Federal Census
        Name: M. J. Powell
        Home in 1880: Milton, Caswell, North Carolina
        Age: 54
        Estimated birth year: abt 1826
        Birthplace: North Carolina
        Relation to head-of-household: Self (Head)
        Spouse's name: S. H.
        Father's birthplace: North Carolina
        Mother's birthplace: North Carolina
        Occupation: Farmer
        Marital Status: Married
        Race: White
        Gender: Male
        Household Members: Name Age
        M. J. Powell 54
        S. H. Powell 51
        M. S. Powell 20
        M. H. Powell 17
        L. M. Powell 13
        L. V. Powell 9
        J. B. Powell 8
        A. V. Powell 7
        James Jeffrey 24

        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).

        1850 United States Federal Census
        Name: Mastin Powell
        Age: 25

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.
