    • MARRIAGE:
      1st: Knox Co IN: Ind. Source Book II; Pom.Lib.R929.3772
      Ind.V.2
      This book gave the license date as 7 Oct 1809.

      "The Devin Family" says her third husband is William
      Wright. "Ten Generations of Rev. Alexander Devin" says her
      third husband was Philbert Wright (father of her daughter,
      Sarah's husband). Possible DOM 15 Nov 1822 to John Wright.
      In Washington Co IN there is a probate file for Philip Beck
      dated 25 Nov 1831;
      wife: Elizabeth Beck; daughter: Sarah Beck, under 18;
      Executor: Wm. Wright
      Probate Court Minute Book B, p 64. IF THIS INFORMATION IS
      CORRECT, PERHAPS THE above DOM ELIZABETH DEVIN TO JOHN
      WRIGHT IS WRONG.
