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.

Whitlow, Editor (1985) at 140-141 (Article #101 "Louise Powell Butler" by Louise Powell Butler). A death date of 26 May 1862 ascribed to her by some researchers must be incorrect as she married her second husband 22 December 1870.
