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.

See: The Heritage of Caswell County, North Carolina, Jeannine D. Whitlow, Editor (1985) at 435-436 (Article #568, "Albert Lindsey Poteat" by Mrs. Inez Poteat Calvert). Another researcher gives the birth date as 18 May 1832.
