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.

      • Page 037 — Will of William Reynolds
        Abstract taken from VA Pittsylvania County GenWeb project site for Wills by David Devin on 13.March.1999. This abstract supposidely comes from Pittsylvania County Virginia Deed Book 9 page 37-39. I do not know if this William Reynolds is the father of Joseph Reynolds who is the husband of Margaret Devin. More likely this person is an Uncle of the Joseph Reynolds who married Margaret Devin.
