!MARRIAGE: Pittsylvania Co VA record

James Devin, first child and 1st son of Wm. Devin Jr. and
Martha Devin, was born May 15, 1781. In 1811, he married
Temperance Cox, the daughter of James and Julia Handkins
Cox. Soon after this marriage, James and Temperance Devin
settled in the lower part of Henry County very near the
Pittsylvania line. James was a man who possessed much
mathematical genius. He followed the trade of house
carpenter as well as cabinet maker for a number of years.
He was a man of some literary taste and acquirement, and
yielding to the wishes of the community in which he lived,
he engaged a good deal of his time in teaching school. He
was a successful teacher, and a large part of his later
life was devoted to that profession. He died August 11,
1854. His wife died in 1867. Both were members of the
Baptist church.
To James and Temperance Devin were born six children:
Elizabeth J. born 1814; William born 1812, d. 1819; James
A. And Sarah G. (twins) born 1817; Robert I. born 1822 and
John C. born 1831. In 1881 . . . quoting Robert Ira Devin's
letter: "All are dead except Elizabeth, Robert and John".
Last address given by Robert I. who was a Baptist Minister
was Youngs Road, Grandville County, North Carolina. (The
Devin Family; Hoffstetter, Dessa; page 4.)

05.Aug.1813 James Devin buyer at estate sale of Martha
Waller (Henry County wills abstracts page 53).
James Devin was witness to Will of Martha Waller (Devin

Notes:

The following chain of evidence shows the relationship of William Devin, Jr. to his father, William Devin, Sr., both of Pittsylvania County Virginia:
i. William Devin, Sr.'s will dated 25.Nov.1800 recorded in Pittsylvania County VA Deed & Will Book 11 pages 243-244 on 19 Apr.1802 specifically names "William Devin Junr" as one of his children. "Deed book 9/498/499 This tract of land is "...the Land ajoining thereto and bounded as followeth, by William Devin Jr lines on the South,..." in William Devin, Sr.'s will."

William, Jr. fought against England in the Revolutionary War (Dessa Hofstetter; "The Devin Family"; page 2; ...William and Sarah Devin's four oldest sons were in the Revolutionary War...). Dessa's booklet also quotes, on page 5, a letter from Robert Ira Devin to Alfred Harrison Devin, saying "My grandfather William Devin, Jr. was born in Pittsylvania County, Va. and was a soldier three years in the War of the Revolution. Two of his brothers, John and Robert, were with him in the army..."

William Jr. participated in the battles of Monmouth, Brandywine, Germantown and others. While in the army, he had small-pox and almost lost his life. His face was left badly marked with pits.

He and his wife, Martha, may have moved to Kentucky in 1785, but returned to Virginia in 1789. William Jr. was a devout member of the Presbyterian Church. His wife described him to be medium size, compactly built about 5 feet 10 or 11 inch, blue eyes, light hair, and weighed about 160 pounds. He had a florid complexion. William Jr. died of cancer 28 April 1810.

1787 Pittsylvania County, Virgina for William Devin, Jr.
Personal Property Tax List: 0 white males 16-21
0 blacks over 16
0 blacks under 16
2 horses, mules, etc.
8 cattle

Note: Either the above list is not complete or the previous paragraph is wrong about the family being in Kentucky between 1785 and 1789.
