It's been a long time since I've seen him. The Devlin family was quite prominent in the Verdery-Bradley area, and I believe his mother ran the hotel on the railroad line for the railroad workers. (I may have them confused with the Ligons.) Their homeplace is about 2-3 miles from Cedar Springs Church, the historic mother church of the ARPs throughout the Carolinas -- if you don't count Lower Long Cane, which was better known but established later, I think. I believe the Devlins may have been Methodist.
