Your info looked like a good bet, but then I realized that Mary Ellen and William Owens were married in 1879. The 1880 census shows her as Mary Owens, living in Floyd. Evans is such a common name, I think I'd rather be looking for Smith or Jones. I truly appreciate your interest. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
