I have that his wife Elizabeth Brasfield died on 3-8-1850. One of Loverance's descendants named John Evans died in Howard County, Missouri but they are not the same person. My information on John Evans came from a book on the history of Platte and Clay counties in Missouri. This book was written in the 1870's to celebrate the centennial of America's independence. This information was provided by a James Evans. He was the son of William B. Evans. William B. Evans was the son of John and Elizabeth Brasfield Evans. My ggggrandfather was Elisha Evans. In the history of Lafayette County, Missouri, it stated that William B. and Elisha Evans were early settlers of the county. Elisha Evans was the brother of John Evans. It has been many years since I looked at my Evans family information. I would be glad to provide you with any information I have on the Evans family.
