- Possibly married in Virginia Colony or Pennsylvania
Colony.(speculation)
After Sarah and William were married, they settled in the area now known as Pittsylvania County, Virginia. William and Sarah were members of the Presbyterian Church and accumulated some wealth. They had eleven children; some dying in childhood. Their four oldest sons fought in and survived the Revolutionary War. (Hofstetter, Dessa; The Devin Family; page 1)
The Devin property in Pittsylvania County, Virginia is shown by deeds and records to be near the Bannister River in the southwest corner of Pittsylvania County, northwest of Danville and east of Martinville, Virginia. In February 17, 1794, William Sr. deeded property to William Jr. as recorded in Pittsylvania County, Virginia Courthouse records. William Sr. bequeathed his house to his daughter, Sarah Devin. [1]

| Notes |
- John 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. 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. ...)
Dessa's Booklet quotes (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. John was severly 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."
Not named in his Father's will, dated 25.November.1800
