• Notes

  14.June.1845; deed dated 14.June.1845 for 34 acres from Sarah Diven to Benjamin Fowler. The tract of land is from the half of the land Sarah Devin received in the will (Pittsylvania County Virginia Deed and Will Book 11 pages 243-244) of her father, William Devin, Sr., that she was entitled to sell if she had no lawful heirs. The deed specifically mentions that the tract is part of the land bequieved to Sarah in her father's will. This deed helps to establish where William Devin, Sr. lived when he died, because it helps to define the land where Sarah was living. Another part of the half was deeded to James Oakes in Deed Book 49: 275-276.
