Hi Dianne, glad to see you interested in
your DeVane heritage! I am descended from
Celeath Sarah DeVane (b.April 8,1784) who
married Theophilus Stevens and left NC
ca1815 for Putnam CO GA, on to Chambers CO AL 1834. Stewart DeVane also went there and m.
Eliza Whatley there, moved on to Chambers CO
AL. Stewart was a Justice of the Peace and
performed the wedding ceremony for Celeath's
dau. Martha in 1837. Stewart left AL and
returned to live on the old DeVane home place
in Kerr where he died ca 1860.
Yes, there is some erroneous info on our
DeVanes. Clue: Thomas I & Margaret (Conti?)
DeVane had four children:
Thomas II married Mary Larkins
John Sr m. Ann Larkins
Mary m. Thomas Corbett
Margaret m. (1) James Poitevint (2) --Jones
Clue 2: A common misconception is that Mary and Ann Larkins (sisters) were actually Robinson. No, their mother, Tabitha, m. (1)
John Larkins Sr (2) James Robinson.
What is really confusing is, with (2) James
Robinson, Tabitha had two sons, George and
Benjamin. Benjamin had at least one dau. Ann,
who m. her cousin James DeVane (James' mother
Ann Larkins DeVane and Ann's father,
Benjamin Robeson (Robinson)were half bro and sis.
Thomas DeVane II m. Mary Larkins and had
(1) Thomas II ("Baby Thom") who m.
(1)--Bloodworth
(2) Helen Stewart (of the royal Stewarts)
(Helen's sis Catherine m. a son of John
DeVane Sr, at the moment I am blank)
(2) Margaret m. William King.
I posted John Larkins Jr's will on the Larkins genforum, names Ann and Mary as his
sisters. I posted documents showing Tabitha
was m. (2)James Robinson and had George and
Benjamin on the Robinson site I believe
(check my messages on DeVane site).
Hope this helps,
Cookie Kelly Huntsville AL
