So nice to hear from you. I would love to share what I have learned about our Evans family. AND I still do not know the parents of your Jeanette Crawford. I would like to note them in my file, and would also like to have a better idea of where her family was from. Samuel F. Evans was your gg.grandfather. He was my ggg.grandfather, so if I have calculated this correctly, we are third cousins one generation removed. The exciting news is that I found Samuel Franklin Evans' father & mother. Samuel's father was Robert Evans who died in May 8, 1818 in the river between Jefferson CO & Knox CO TN. Samuel's mother was Elizabeth Davidson. Though Robert died intestate, I do have his estate settlement which was filed in Knox CO TN. "Whilst Robert Evans, in the company of two others...was attempting to set a fishing line on the 8th, he was drowned when the canoe sprung a leak...body not found until the 17th." I also believe that I have a good grasp of who Robert's parents were. I will be going out of town for a week, but would love to exchange information with you when I return. Are you in Siskiyou CO? Best regards, Debra My Evans line: Robert Evans>Samuel F.Evans>Mary Ann (Evans) Taylor>Harry Albert Taylor was my g.grandfather.
