Sucky is his daughter. Research by Anna Hudelson

William Devin, Senior is considered to be the Progenitor of the protestant Devin family in the United States of America. William Devin, Senior of Virginia was born in Dublin, Ireland and came to America in 1745 or 1746. In 1750, he married Sarah Smith and settled in what is now Pittsylvania County, Virginia. --The Devin Family, page 1.

William Davin along with son James Davin is listed in the
1767 list of Tithables for Pittsylvania County, Virginia
Colony. As did many landowners of the era and region, William Devin Senior owned slaves. His will states that he owned at least one male slave, named Alleck, which he bequeathed to his daughter Sarah Devin.

William Sr. served as Sergeant of Infantry, Virginia Continental Line. He "received a certificate for balance of full pay, according to act passed November session 1781". [more likely this was his son William Jr.] Children listed in will: James Devin, Mary Biggar, William Devin, Jr.

Smith surname assumed based on serveral grandchildren named
'Sarah Smith _____'. No documents have been found to
support her last name except for a manuscript by Dessa
Hoffstetter. However, its source is suspect.

Not named in will of her husband which was dated 25
November 1800.
Dessa's booklet mentions a letter to Alfred Harrison Devin
written by Rev. Robert Ira Devin son of James, son of
William Jr, son of William Sr. The letter is said to make
the following statements: "Records of the Parish of Camden:
'Sarah Devin born March 20, 1728.'"
