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.

    •  Notes 
      • This book is a transciption of the Entry Record Book for Halifax County as the county existed before 1770. This book (page 270) contains the earliest (to date) record of the Devin name in the Pittsylvania County area. 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.
