    Notes:

    The Devin Family, page 39 states that the unnamed husband
    of Susan Devin was the son of Philip Beck; who had married
    her sister, Elizabeth Devin. KLV thinks that the husband of
    Susan Devin is the son of Philip Beck by a prior marriage.
    JNT in an email dated 04.October.1998, says father of Susan
    Devin's husband is George Beck; a cousin of Philip Beck.

    He was from Salem, IN. (Washington Co.)

    Rowan County, North Carolina became Davidson County, North
    Carolina. Andrew Beck moved with his parents to Washington
    County, Indiana Territory in 1808. [Beck & Tittle
    Footprints; 19981001]

    When Susan died, Andrew had the responsibility of a new
    born baby, a son, Alexander, eighteen months old, and four
    young daughters. He must have had help from other family
    members where they lived at Beck's Mill. Andrew M. Beck
    remarried two years after Susan died to Rebecca Barker.
    [JNT email 04.October.1998]. They moved to near Terrell,
    Kaufman County, Texas in 1854.
