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.

    •  Notes 
      • This book is a transciption of the Entry Record Book for Pittsylvania County as the county existed in 1770. An entry for land was a statement of intent. Ownership of the land did not occur until it was settle and improved. Many entries were voided because the requirements were not satisfied. The book contains little genealogical information; although, you do find a few clues to families can be found. Even the descriptions of land is very general being based on neighbor names and landmarks that could be anywhere.
