Hi again, Joy, Thanks for responding again and sorry I misunderstood your question. John Kinsman alias Evans and his wife Ann (Buse) Evans lived next door to William Evans and his wife Isott (Buse) Evans. Ann and Isott were sisters. The two families appear to have been very close as when one moved, the other moved as well, and they sometimes reported each other's vital records after civil registration began. I have wondered since first reviewing these records whether John and William were siblings or cousins, since there appears to have only been one main Evans family in Hartland at the time William and Isott married, but so far I haven't found anything to definitively prove nor disprove the theory, though as you noted in your previous email, when working with parish records it is often hard to do more than make the best case you can. The Hartland baptism that best matches William's stated age on adult records is the 1788 baptism by "Ann Evens" which sounds like the same baptism you found in your search. I have also tracked the Charles Evans who is living down the street from William and John on the 1841 census, and as an adult he gave variable ages which has made it somewhat difficult to judge whether he is the same Charles born to Ann Evans and baptized at Hartland in 1781. There does not appear to have been another Charles Evans baptized in Hartland in the early to mid-1780's, and Charles gave Hartland as his birthplace on every record I've reviewed that's that specific, so it's mostly been a process of elimination so far. (Hopefully there wasn't a Charles Evans who was born in Hartland then and baptized elsewhere or not baptized at all!) So far I haven't found a connection between the Kinsman family and any of these Evans families though. Thanks for investigating on my behalf! Liz Loveland
