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.

Allen Smith: "I have heard the story about the baby being buried there but did not recall names or dates. Poteats lived closeby (at the end of the now Guthrie Road) and I believe the baby was very young, perhaps stillborn? and they asked permission and it was given." 20 April 2011 Post to the CCHA Facebook Page.
