Washington, Missouri and North Carolina. As far back as I can get (just recently started this project) is to Thomas EVANS who was born in abt. 1816 in Rowan Co., North Carolina. Thomas married Sarah GREEN in Dec 1845. They moved to Missouri in abt 1858; Moniteau County (1860 Census) then on to Polk Co. They had the following children: Benjamin Franklin (1847) (my gg-grandfather); Sarah Elizabeth (Nov, 1849); Margaret Ann; William Conley (10-Jun-1858-1-Feb-1932); Martha Ella (abt 1866). Martha is possibly Sarah Elizabeth's child (illegitimate??) Benjamin married Margaret E GUINN/GYNN/QUINN on 19-Aug-1869. They had the following children: Sarah C (abt 1871); Mary E (abt 1873); William D (abt 1877); Rose J (abt 1879); Marion F (Nov-1881); Bessie Viola (Mar-1884); James Blaine (25-Sept-1886 - 12-Dec-1965) (my g-grandfather); Benjamin Harrison (Jan-1889); Lewis A (Nov-1891); Ruth M (Feb-1894). Marion and William D moved to Spokane Co., Washington abt 1900. Bessie married Caleb SKAGGS and also moved to Spokane Co., Washington (1910 Census) and on to Shoshone Co., Idaho (1920/1930 Census). Any of this ring a bell??? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
