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.

      Notes 
      • Early records of Groton show that Joseph Sr., original proprietor of Groton, removed from Chelmsford to Groton before 5 Mar 1665, with several other families. He and the others were forced to leave the town during King Phillip's War, after the town was burned in Mar 1676. He probably went to Concord where he died.
        He died soon after the Indian raid at Groton in Mar 1676 in Concord, where the family had fled. His widow and children then stayed in the area of Concord that became Stow.
