I found some notes copied from a talk with my mother many years ago in which she said her grandfather, Clinton Evans, was the son of a man 'who came to the USA from Ireland and lived to be 112 years old'. I do not have a clue to the mans name, except the fact Clinton named his first born son James Calvin Evans. Clinton Evans was born about 1827 in Kentucky and died 1865 in Cooper County, MO. In early 1849 'Kenton' Evans married Eliza Hill in Barren County, KY - which fits our Clinton who married Eliza J. Hill. The couple then show in the 1850 census in Barren County with their child, James C. Evans born February 1850 in KY. They moved to Cooper County, MO where their second son, William C. Evans was born in 1952. Any connections? Any thoughts as to where I might find evidence regarding this supposed ancestor? I welcome any and all advise. Thanks, Betty
