Internet IGI, June 2008 Alternet death date: 6 June 1802 John Devane Sr. was a noted statesman, Senator, member of the House of Burgesses, and a Major in the Revolutionary War. He was co-owner of a munitions factory on the Black River, New Hanover County, North Carolina, that served the Patriot cause until destroyed by the Tories. A monument commemorating this was erected by the D.A.R. in Sampson County, North Carolina.
NOTES: It is not certain who is the father of Ann. It could be James Robinson, as per the Ancestral File, or John Larkins. It seems as if they were both husbands of Tabitha, mother of Ann. John Larkins did not die until Sep 1738, so it seems as if he would be Ann's father, as she was born about 1732. However, the Ancestral File lists her birth after 1738 and the daughter of James Robinson. Her first child was born in 1755, making her quite a young mother if she were born sometime after 1738. More research is needed.
