[Judith Bone; email 19990129] On the inside of the front
cover of a bible in possession of Judith Bone (1999) reads:
Nancy Smith Devin bible bought in Princeton from the Bible
Society Year 1833 Price $1,37. In about the middle of the
Bible there are about eight pages of family genealogy.
Most of it in one person's writing, but there are things
added by some one else later. The book is old and I do not
take it out and touch it much as the pages are falling
apart. This Bible was Nancy's and then to her daughter Mary
Elizabeth (Smith) DeuFriend. After her death, it passed to
her daughter Esther Devin (DeuFriend)
Sullivan/Castor/Morgan, my Father's Aunt. After Ester's
death, the Bible came to my Dad's house and my step mother
sent it to me.

POB from History of Gibson Co IN p. 55; FHC #0934905

Via Ethel S. Mattingley FHC #0928908: Bible records at
Washington Co IN
Historical Society show DOB as 12 Mar 1772.
Per Hist. of Gibson Co IN p 452: DOB = 12 Mar 1771

"The Devin Family", on page 37, says Susan is the daughter
of Edward and Mary Wade Nowlin of Virginia. However, on
page 2, a quote from the will of Bryan Ward Nowlin says
Sucky is his daughter. Research by Anna Hudelson
[Nowlin-Devin missive; 1929-1977] shows Edward Nowlin and
Mary Wade to be the parents of Bryan Ward Nowlin; Susans
paternal grandparents.
