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.

      Bible of Joseph Benton Devin & Elvira PICKEL Devin
      Bible of Joseph Benton Devin & Elvira PICKEL Devin
      Karen V. found a bible in the Stella DEVIN [Lalande] Williams & W. P. Williams collection in the Penrose Library Archives at Whitman College in Walla Walla. The bible appears to be one that Joseph Benton Devin & Elvira PICKEL Devin owned because the birthdates of their children were listed along with their marriage. It also has Joseph's marriage to Belle Wall and the births of their two children.

      The bible is approximately 8 1/2 X 11 X 4 or 4 1/2 inches with a metal clasp (now broken) and a velvet or velvet-like front cover. Part of it is in bad shape and shows a lot of wear. The bible has two pages meant for tintype size pictures or slightly larger but none of the slots had anything in them. The pages of the births, deaths were loose (two sheets/four pages) and in a separate box from the actual bible. The archivest reunited the loose sheets with the bible during Karen's visit, so the bible is now in a box apart from all the other "stuff".
