My name is Gary Evans (I share this site with William Gabello). Several distant cousins and I have recently completed Y-DNA testing at Family Tree DNA. We discovered that we have an exact 37 marker match with Mr. Arthur Foy Evans Jr. who is a direct descendent of Yearly David Evans. This means that we are very closely related. We are working to understand our Evans family line and hope that we can come to understand where the connection with Yearly David occurred. My Great Great Grandfather was Henry Evans, b. 1798 in GA. or VA. and d. 1865 in Prairie Co., AR. We've found that Henry's father was a Benjamin Evans, who with his brothers, Nathan, Hezekiah, Obidiah and David all moved from Ga to Alabama. Henry then moved to Mississippi and finally to Arkansas about 1852. If you are interested in following this line please let me know. We'd love to develop this picture more carefully. If you have any information that you could share we'd love that. My personal e-mail is - snaveyrag@prodigy.net I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance.
