Dear Susan and EVANS, BARLOW, MYRICK, GRANTHAM, JONES, HERRINGTON, McCARTY, LOTT, HATTEN, and BANKSTON lists as well as Jones County, Mississppi and Jasper County, Mississippi lists, First of all: MERRY CHRISTMAS! and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hi. Bellinda MYRICK-BARNETT here. I've been working on trying to connect my maternal EVANS lineage in Georgia and Jasper County, MS in the early to mid-1800s that married into the JONES-McCARTY families with the EVANS families that married into my paternal MYRICK - HERRINGTON - GRANTHAM families and connecting more of those, as well. I would be most grateful to hear from any of you who might know, specifically, how these different EVANS connect below to each other and the other connecting surnames I have shown here. Re: SC>GA>Jasper & Jones Co., MS (listing those EVANS who were in these areas in the 1800s that appear to be related but that I, so far, have listed with no connections) EVANS (1.) William?/Panther? "Panther" EVANS, (my maternal 4th great grandfather,) b: Abt. 1780 in ?/SC, d: Aft. 1810, Jasper Co., MS Malinda EVANS, b: Feb. 06, 1810 in GA, d: Sept. 27, 1875 in Jasper Co., MS md: Alson JONES/aka Alson S. JONES/aka Alson Bluford "Gip" JONES (?) b: 1823 in TN, d: March 27, 1883 in Winn Parish, LA (s/o immigrant, Benjamin JONES, in Mobile, AL abt. 1802) (Malinda/Melinda EVANS and Alson JONES, my 3rd great grandparents, were parents of William Tunley JONES, (CSA,) my 2nd great grandfather, who married Martha Ann Caroline McCARTY, my 2nd great grandmother, were parents of my maternal great grandmother, Rodella "Della" JONES, who married Cicero Lamkin HATTEN, my maternal great grandfather, parents of my maternal grandmother, Ethel Rosalie HATTEN, (of Winn Parish and West Carroll Parish, LA,) who md: 1st husb: Joseph Marion WOMACK, Sr., md: 2nd husb: Louis Hector SLAUGHTER, (my maternal grandfather.)

LIGHTFOOT,) and later married 2nd wife: Anna "Annie" NETTLES. The LOTT and HATTEN families, also, married into EVANS families as well as they married into the MYRICK, HERRINGTON, GRANTHAM, BARLOW and other families listed here so I am sending to the LOTT and HATTEN lists as well. (2.) Alson Bluford "Gip" EVANS, b: 1823 in MS md: Rachel BANKS(T)ON, b: 1826 (d/o Sarah "Sally" LAIRD & (Rev.)

(4.) Phoebe S. EVANS, b: Abt. 1830 in MS md: John Melton HERRINGTON, b: 1830 in MS, (John is brother of the aforementioned Phoebe and Syntha and a son of the aforementioned Cynthia "Sina" GRANTHAM and William HERRINGTON, Jr., my paternal 3rd great grandparents.)

HERRINGTON. And Lydia Jane BARLOW was the daughter of Nancy HERRINGTON and her husband who was William Bryant BARLOW. And Richard "L ucky" GRANTHAM, III and Cynthia "Sina" GRANTHAM were the children of Elizabeth AMMONS and Richard GRANTHAM, II.) I am still wondering whether or not anyone has found any information showing the parents of the immediately aformenetioned Nancy HERRINGTON, born: Abt. 1801 in ?, died: Aft. 1870 prob. in Jones Co., MS. It certainly looks possible that she is the 'missing' daughter of Samuel S./Silas? "Sy" HERRINGTON and his wife, Mary? Martha? ?/ALLEN?. This Samuel S./Silas? "Sy" HERRINGTON was the brother of 2 of my paternal 3rd great grandfathers, the aformentioned William HERRINGTON, Jr., (who married Cynthia "Sina" HERRINGTON,) and my Enoch HERRINGTON who md: wife # 1: Rebecca Jane "Jane" DICKENS/DICKINS, (aka DICK(ER)SON/etc.,) (d/o Catherine GRAVES & ?/David? DICKENS/DICKINS.) Enoch HERRINGTON and Rebecca Jane "Jane" DICKENS/DICKINS were the parents of my paternal great grandmother, Harriet Katherine "Hattie" HERRINGTON, (aka HARRINGTON,) who married Calvin Pierce "Callie" MYRICK, son of the aformentioned William H. "Billy" MYRICK and Phoebe Catherine HERRINGTON, (d/o the aforementioned William HERRINGTON, Jr. and wife, Cynthia "Sina" GRANTHAM.) Looking forward to hearing from any of you with new connections, added information, and/or corrections to any of the above. In advance, I thank you. Merry Christmas! and have a very Happy New Year!
