Richard Jones was educated at Hampden Sydney College, being a very fine Latin Scholar, and taught school for two years at Lynchburg College. He was hired to teach at the newly formed Banister Academy, which was a wooden structure situated on road leading from Sheva to Clark's Bridge on Banister River. He married Mildred Ward Smith, daughter of Mr. Samuel Smith, of "Clifton," Bedford Co.
Richard lived in Sheva outside Chatham, VA
Sadly, Richard's first wife died at the age of 24, leaving children aged 1 and 4 years. The elder daughter would also tragically die young at the age of 25, leaving 3 daughters, the elder aged 3 and the other two newborn twins. All three girls would be raised by their grandfather Richard and his second wife Frances Jones (his 1st cousin). At least one of the granddaughters would go on to get college education at the Hollins Institute (forerunner of Hollins College).
Richard and his children and second wife are all buried in the same cemetery.

In Reply to: Re: Dianah Tribble (1779) by Hugh Evans of 893
I have that Dinah Tribble was the daughter of James Tribble and ? (perhaps a Collins*). Her father married (2) Nancy (Spurbanks?) on Apr 17, 1802 in Halifax Co, VA. Dinah's siblings were:
1. Tabitha Tribble - married (1) Thomas Word; (2) Richard Horn (I have more information of this branch)
2. Isaac Tribble
3. Ann Tribble
4. Mary "Polly" Tribble - married Glennis Blankenship
* I have an old letter from a distant relative that indicates that Tabitha had said her Mother was a "Collins".
I haven't been able to find out if this is correct or not.

The Company was ordered to march back, since Charleston had already fallen to the British. George joined the army at Nelson's Ferry on the Santee River, and from there went to Camden and then to Cross Creek. In 1780 moved from N. C. to Loudon County, Va. In 1781 was drafted into army and sent to Yorktown until the British surrendered. H marched in Regiment of Coronel G.

Notes:

Joseph Echols (1735-1789) married first Elizabeth King and second in 1772, Elizabeth Street. On 20 September 1751 Joseph and Isaac Echols obtained individual patents to land on Straightstone Creek in Lunenburg County. We presume this was this Joseph Echols and his brother. Joseph's patent was for 400 acres. We speculate that he was the same Joseph Echols who had a patent for 272 acres in Lunenburg County on both sides of Sandy Creek in 1756. A cousin and uncle of the same name were in the area. As Joseph Echols Jr he had a patent for a 13-acre island in the Staunton River 29 November 1756. In 1785 the plantation upon which Joseph lived had nine cabins, including a 640-square foot dwelling and a mill. Ten whites were then in his family. Joseph was dead by 1792, intestate, and the court granted Obediah Echols administration. A chancery suit and the division of land of Joseph Echols in 1794 reveals the names of his surviving 12 children.

1 Obediah Echols married Nanny Franklin in Halifax County 7 September 1805.
2 Sarah Echols
3 John Echols
4 Rhoda Echols
4 Drusilla Echols
6 Mary Echols
7 Joseph Echols married Elizabeth Lambeth, a daughter of Meredith Lambeth, in Campbell County 6 June (bond) 1814.
8 Abraham Echols was a resident of Monongalia County, now West Virginia, in 1797 when he sold his inheritance to James Echols of Bedford County.
9 Rebecca Echols was in Hawkins County, Tennessee in 1797 when she sold her inheritance to James Echols.
10 Tabitha Echols married Elijah Lacy in Halifax County 12 January (bond) 1802.
11 David Echols (14 Jan. 1776 - 18 Feb. 1854) married Diana Tribble (14 Jan. 1784 - 12 May 1848), a daughter of James Tribble, in Halifax County 29 May (bond) 1802. They were the parents of eleven children born 1803-1823.
12 Moses Echols married Elizabeth Hicks in Campbell County 9 February (bond) 1807.
13 Judith Echols , a daughter of Joseph Echols, married Benjamin Gosnell in Halifax County 24 March (bond) 1788. She evidently died before the distribution of her father's estate.

Notes:

Robert and William Devin Jr. served with Captain Henry Conway's Company of the 14th Virginia Regiment of Foot in the Continental Army. They served three years from January 1777 to February 1780, enlisting at Pittsylvania County Courthouse on January 26 1777, and were discharged in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on February 4, 1780. Robert and his brother, William, were in the same unit throughout their service.

Their unit was at Valley Forge with General Washington during the winter of 1777-1778. They fought in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, and Monmouth.

The records from the National Archives show Sergeant William Devin, with a variety of name variations, to be listed in the muster and pay rolls of Captain Henry Conway's company for most of the period of December 1776 through March 1779. Then, he was part of Captain Nathan Reid's Company and Lieutenant Colonel Hopkins' Company until November 1779. Finally, William Devin and Robert Devin were assigned to Captain John Overton's Company of Col. Febiger's Detachment, 2nd Brigade until they were discharged.

Robert Devin says in his pension application that Captain Henry Conway's company was formed at Smith's Store, then the Pittsylvania County, Virginia Court House. The records show that Sergeant William Devin was sick (June, July, and August 1778 muster rolls) and then, on extended furlough in Virginia beginning in Septermber 1778 to April 1779. This could be the time when William Devin had Smallpox that nearly cost him his life.

Robert Devin was born 6 Apr 1759 in what is now Pittsylvania Co, Virginia. He died 10 Apr 1834 in Pittsylvania Co, Virginia. He married Nancy Parrish 22 Jan 1791 in Pittsylvania Co, Virginia.
