Notes for Alexander Devin:
Alexander Devin, the ninth child of William Devin, Sr.,
and Sarah Smith, was born March 22, 1769, in
Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Alexander Devin's older
brother, John, was wounded in the Revolutionary War
and while confined to his room, he carved a powder
horn and gave it to Alexander, who was not old enough
to go to war. Alexander used it when he went off to
preach. The horn is now (1950) in the possession of
William Devin, son of John Devin, son of Payton Devin,
son of Alexander Devin.
They, with four children moved to Warren Co.,
Kentucky, near Bowling Green in 1797.
A deed from Alexander Devin to heirs of William Devin
relinquishes all rights in the estate of his father, William
Devin and states his omitted from the will, November
23, 1803--Deed Book 13, page 537.
Then with 8 children came to Indiana territory, March
1808, settling on a farm south of the entrance to Archer
Cemetery in what was then Knox Co., later Gibson Co.
just north of the village of Princeton.
In 1814, they moved to a farm south of Princeton. He and
his wife and many of his descendants are buried in the
Warnock Cemetery at Princeton, Indiana, in the Devin
Plot. He was the second Baptist and the second minister
to come to this section of the country. He preached in a
little church at the forks of the old State Road and the
New Harmony road. His wife, Susan Nowlin Devin,
was the daughter of Edward and Mary Wade Nowlin of
Virginia and a sister of Elizabeth
Nowlin Devin who married Alexander's older brother
Joseph.
"Rev. Devin, when preaching at Mr. Ingles (Inglefield),
stripped at it, taking off his coat, waistcoat and cravat,
unbuttoning his shirt collar and wildly throwing his
arms. He made the wildest gesticulations for the space of
two hours, ever seen in a man professing sanity"-(Taken
from Faux's Journal in Thwaites-Early Western Travels,
V.II,p. 285). Mr. Faux states on page 284 "Mr. Devin
manufactures and cultivates the tea of China. He had 12
children and expects to leave them one quarter section
each of improved rich land."
Alexander Devin was also a member of the Indiana
Constitutional Convention of 1816, helped to write the
Constitution for the state and in so doing argued long for
education. It is on record, the first couple Rev. Devin
married after coming to Knox Co., Indiana Terr., was
James McClure and Malinda Ann Warwick. Catherine
Devin, daughter of Alexander and Sucky Devin, married
a son of this couple, Joseph Perry McClure. He died in
Gibson Co., Indiana, Jan. 5, 1827.
