Welcome to Devin Timber
This site is a collection of family trees of the families descended from William Devin and Sarah Smith (married circa 1750) out of Pittsylvania County, Virginia as well as the pedigrees of allied families. Each generation and citation on this site is the "material" on which the next generation is based. Our purpose is to cite and share the Devin family history which is, in part, a record of the personal qualities and character of the individuals in these families. This site started from the information in a manuscript, titled The Devin Family compiled by Dessa DEVIN Hofstetter (d:1966). Her research was to document the newer generations for lineages listed in an earlier manuscript written circa 1880–1890 (author unknown). Our goal is to find and verify the records cited in these earlier manuscripts as well as expand the knowledge of our heritage.
