Martha

Martha married William Devin on 7 Sep 1720 in Camden Parish, Dublin, Ireland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

William's family was said to be of Huguenot descent (French Protestants who were driven out of France in 1680 due to the Edict of Nantes). Devin is probably French--meaning sage, seer, foreteller of events. Surnames were adopted after 1000 AD in Europe and so our Devin ancestor was probably "le devin" (the seer) and the "le" was probably omitted with time. There were many Devins who did not leave France in 1680 and stayed Catholic. Some of these Catholic Devins came to Canada and there are many Devins in Canada today.

The Progenitor of the Devin Family in America was William Devin, Sr. William Devin Sr. came to America in 1745 or 1746 and in 1750 married Sarah Smith, and settled in Pittsylvania Co., Virginia. They were members of the Presbyterian Church and accumulated some wealth. They had eleven children some dying in childhood. William Sr. named some of his children in his will recorded April 19,1802.

WILL-DEED AND WILL BOOK 11, PAGE 243, PITTSYLVANIA CO., VIRGINIA RECORDED APRIL 19, 1802
"In the name of God Amen, I, William Devin Sr.--of the County of Pittsylvania, in good health and of sound mind and memory for which I thank God; and calling to mind the mortality of man, knowing it is appointed of God for all men once to die, do make constitute and ordain this, my last Will and Testament--I first of all give and recommend my soul into the hands of Almighty God that gave it me and my body to be decently intered at the discretion of my Executor and to such worldy Estate as it has pleased God to bless me with in this life, I give and dispose of in manner and form following, that is first of all my just Debts--to be honestly paid. Secondly, I give to my children, James Devin, Mary Biggar, William Devin Jr., Robert Devin, and Joseph Devin--twenty shillings to each of them, their heirs or assigns forever. Third, I give to my daughter Sarah Devin, the house in which I now live after being well covered out of money arising out of my estate and the land adjoining thereto and bounded as follows, by William Devin Jr. lines on the south, by Joseph Devin and Spragin on the east, by Robert Devin on the north, and by Wimbish and Spurling on the west to inclose part of my new survey agreeable to Robert Devin's marked line
for dividing the said survey. I also give said Sarah, one negro boy, Alleck, one mare Finnex, or her value in cash, or another creature of near equal value, one cow and calf, exclusive of a white cow I admit to be her own property, one bed and furniture of her choice and half of all the other of my household furniture; one ewe and lamb, if any belonging to my estate, and lastly two sows and pigs, the choice of my stock and provisions of every kind that I may die possessed of for her and those free persons that I may leave in my family at my death for one year after. My further will is that if my daughter Sarah Devin should die without lawful heir of her body that in that case she has a right only to dispose of half the property to her given as she may think proper, and the other half my will is that it may be equally divided between all my surviving children or their lawfully begotten heirs of any they have or assigns forever. Item--I give to the children of my daughter Margaret Reynolds--twenty pounds cash to be under the direction of their father, Joseph Reynolds for the use of the said children that may live to enjoy it. And my further will is that all the land and negroes I may be possessed of at my death with all and every kind of property to me belonging not before in this last will given shall be sold my Executor at one years credit and the money arising therefrom after all legal and lawful expenses are paid for the execution of the will, the surplus if any, to be divided equally between my children as follows to wit--William Devin Jr., Mary Biggar, Robert Devin, the children of Margaret Reynolds (deceased) Sarah Devin and Joseph Devin, their heirs or assigns forever....."

From the Pittsylvania Co., Virginia Courthouse records, the following items: "William Devin Sr. to William Devin Jr. a deed February 17,1794"

"William Devin Sr. listed as head of family 1785"

MILITARY RECORDS
William Devin Sr. war services: War records no. 4 p. 166: "received a certificate for balance of full pay, according to act passed November session 1781, as Sergeant of Infantry...Virginia Continental Line."

The Devin property in Pittsylvania Co., Virginia is shown by deeds and records to be near the Sandy River, S.W. corner of Pittsylvania Co., N.W. of Danville and east of Martinville, Virginia. Pittsylvania Co. was formed in 1767 from Halifax Co., absorbed Patrick Co. and Herry Co. in 1777. In 1753 Halifax Co. was part of Lunenburg Co.

In records, various spellings of the Devin name is given...Davin, Deaven, Divean, Diven, and Divin. William Devin and his son, William Devin, Jr., took turns serving in the Military and sometimes only for three-month periods between farm work on their acreage, the military archives does not have any distinction between them, as all the records are just under
"William Devin". His first four sons were in the Revolutionary War.

Notes:

John Devin, the second child of William Devin, Senior, and Sarah Smith, was born in 1750 in Pittsylvania, Co., Virginia. He was the twin brother of James. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War along with his brothers, James, William, Jr., and Robert. In the Revolutionary War, John was severely wounded by being shot through the body, but he, wonderful to relate, entirely recovered and afterward died at the home of his lady love to whom he was engaged to be married, while on a visit to see her. The pantaloons he had on when wounded were preserved for many years by the family as an heirloom that showed the bullet hole on each side
that passed through his body. John was wounded and while confined to his room carved a powder horn and gave it to his brother Alexander, who was not old enough to go to war. Alexander used it when he went off to preach. In 1950 the horn was in the possession of William Devin, son of John Devin, son of Peyton Devin, son of Alexander Devin.

"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,
