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.

        Second Photograph: Calvin Lea Holt (on left) and Unidentified Man. While this photograph purportedly is Calvin Lea Holt, born 1867, it is suspect. The dress and apparent age of the man call into question whether it could be an image of someone born in 1867. He also changed his name to Roy Lee Holt.
