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.
The six oldest children came with William and Pamela by covered wagon to the Grande Ronde Valley, Oregon, in 1878 and located on a homestead near La Grande. --Carving the North End Wilderness: Flora; Beddow, F. Lorlene; page 158.
