I am looking for North Florida DeVanes, particularly those who descend from Benjamin Franklin DeVane, 1796. This Benjamin was born in Bladen Co, NC, later moved to Lowndes Co, GA, then Quitman, Co, GA, Madison & Taylor counties, FL, then finally to Plant City, Hillsborough Co, area. He had 6 sons, all who fought in the Civil War:
John Thomas DeVane, b 1815 Bladen Co, NC
William H DeVane, b 1817 Bladen Co, NC
Samuel Rownan DeVane b 1824 Bulloch Co, GA
James S DeVane b 1827 Bulloch Co, GA (remained in Taylor Co)
George DeVane b 1832 Shady Grove, Taylor Co, FL (killed in Battle at Gettsyburg)
Benjamin Franklin DeVane, 1835 Shady Grove, Taylor Co, FL (died in Savannah Ga, while walking home to Plant City after the end of the Civil War) - my gg-grandfather.

Taylor Co: Below are DeVanes in Taylor Co, FL I know of but have not been able to link or find their descendants
