News: After 30 years, Devin Timber is being decommissioned! After January 2027, this site will no longer be available. Web hosting costs continue to raise at rates that cannot be sustained on a limited income. In addition, finding volunteer expertise needed to administer the technical side of hosting a site, such as this, is challenging.

A Devin Timber group project has been set up at FamilySearch.org. FamilySearch has the tools and the long experience with collaborative genealogy and is available to everyone without cost. All documents and citations found on the current Devin Timber are being migrated to the records on FamilySearch.

If you have access to Ancestry, a public member tree, named "Devin Progeny," is a copy of the tree on the current Devin Timber. The Devin Progeny tree is being used to help evaluate research accuracy using the DNA samples from descendants of William & Sarah Devin. The Ancestry Devin Progeny tree will not be supported with documentation or citations due to the cost of Ancestry subscriptions.

        He was a carpenter and the son of Widow Ann Lume. He was a representative in the General Court and prominent in the affairs of Rowley. His will, dated 6 Sep 1683, mentions, to wife (unnamed), "I give my now dwelling-house & buildings orchard & Lands I live upon situate & Lying in the bounds of Rowley & Ipswich; also the Village Farm which Mathew Perry liveth upon with the privileges thereof all during the time of her naturall life: also my moveable estate to be at her dispose: always providing that my Dear wife be my sole executrix & that she receive all such Debts as are Due to me from any psons whatsoever." To son John Picard, what has already been given him and the farm at Johnson's Pond, also the reversion of what has been given wife. To son Samuel Pickard, all the land between Samuel Dresser's land and land of John Wicom, also the land on the other side of the street, of about four acres, also one-half of that land "I purchased of my son Thomas Hammond," also, after wife's decease, the farm now in occupation of Mathew Perry. Daughter Rebecca has had L100, now to have L5; Solomon Phips, L5; daughter Mary has had L100, now to have L5; daughters Sarah and Ann the same; daughters Jane and Hannah each L100 when 21 years old or married. (Essex Ct. Files, 40:69). The inventory of his estate, amounting to L1279-02s-04d was taken 23 Nov 1683. His homestead in Rowley, from 1660, was in the "Morland" or "Murlay" field; the house in which he died was on the site occupied by the house of the late Daniel Harris Hale on Main St. in 1932. It may have been part of that house. The home farm extended E and S into Ipswich to include a large portion of Jewett's Hill.[maryabwhiteanc.ged]
