Notes:

There is a possibility the William might be the William
Devin in the 1820 census for Lincoln county Tennessee.
However, it is more likely William B. W. Devin is the
William Devin in the 1820 Census for Pittslyvania County
Virginia. The enumeration for the Pittsylvania County
census is consistant with his mother and younger brother
living with him along with his mother's slave, Hannah and
Hannah's children.

The William Devin in the 1820 Lincoln County Tennessee was
enumerated in close proximaty to an Olliver family, which
may indicate the Lincoln county William is William Robert
Devin, son of William Devin, Jr. as William R. married
Rebecca Oliver in 1820.

Named in Pittsylvania Co VA Court Records Book #13 as child
