• Notes

  Census: 1900 Linn Co KS Soundex: ED 114 Sh 7 ! Nancy Virginia Alexander is noted in two places in the Devin-Dessa book. She is listed on p 39 as being the daughter of David Nowlin Alexander, son of Virginia Devin and John Alexander. Nancy Virginia Alexander is shown to have married James Harrision Devin (his second marriage) and that they had four children: John, David, Watson, & Cordelia. (see p 38). She is also shown (p 39) to have married a Mr. Elliot. It states that "The Elliot Devins had children: 1) John 2) David 3) Watson 4) Cordelia." There is some confusion regarding this matter as to whether there are indeed two families of the same first names or there is something of an adoption.
