DEVINE, John. He and another man, maybe a George or Hall started the first toll road between Fairplay and Georgetown in the late 1850's. He returned to Iowa in the fall of 1861 or the spring of 1862. He had been to California before, but I have no idea where . Some say he was in the area of "Leadville" whenthe gold was found there. (Not Colorado, but California) Would love to hear from anyone with any information on him.
