James Devin, first child and 1st son of Wm. Devin Jr. and

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".
