My name is Wally Caviness of Bellingham, WAshington and Lankston Gordon Evans is my great-great grandfather. My lineage is as follows: Wally Caviness, b. 17 Sept. 1940 d. final time, not yet, died on 14 July 2005 due to chemical reaction by the heart to the drugs given for kidney lazer surgery, was electric shocked back to life. Edith Evans Caviness, b. 31 Oct. 1907, Mammonth Springs, AR., d. 8 June 1971 in Quincy, Grant Co. WA Robert Wiley Evans, b. 1879in Linden, Perry Co. TN, d. 31 Oct. 1947 in Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara Co. CA. Richard Allen Evans, b. 1853 in Linden, Perry Co.Tn d. 4 Feb. 1935,in Marmaduke, Greene Co. AR. Langston Gordon Evans, b.1831 in Tn d. 3 Oct. 1923 in Greene County,AR. David W. Evans, b. In Oct. of 2006, Cousins Susie Dabbs and Jackie Skelton of Hohanwald, Lewis County, TN. took me to the driveway on Marsh Creek near Linden, Perry Co. TN where the Evans family lived before they went to AR. A lady who lives just north of the driveway, remembers as a young girl actually playing in the house when she was a little girl. The house is no longer there. My great grandfather Richard Allen Evans and his son Robert Wiley Evans were born in that house. On October 18, 2005, my wife Lee Ann and I and cousins Charles Wood of Paragould, AR, Sharon Davis of MO and Sharon's mother Faye met at the Camp Cemetary about four miles SW of Mammonth Springs, AR. I had purchased a memorial bronze metal tombstone marker for Langston and hand carried it in my airline carryon bag. I had the shop where I bought it in Bellingham put his full name, his Civil War Union Regiment and yrs of birth and death on it. Gravestone location: If you are facing the front of the cemetary church, it is directly behind the right side of the church. There is a little cemetary road going uphill behind the church. Langston grave is on the left side of the road and directly behind the right side of the church. A week later, Charles and his wife Deroda made a concrete base and set the marker in the fresh concrete. This is the info I have on your great grandfather Joseph E. Evans: b. 21 July 1874 om Perry Co. TN. d. 4 Dec, 1948 in Greene Co. AR. Sharon Davis's grandmother (Faye's mother still lives in Greene Co. AR. I did not get to meet her as she was sick that day on 18 Oct. 2005. Charles Wood of Paragould, AR has lots of info on the Evans Lineage. Charles and my lineages also includes the Little's of Perry Co. TN. Frances Elnora Little Evans (Richard Allen's wife) b. 28 Nov. 1854 in Linden, Perry Co. TN, d. 13 March 1920 in Greene Co. AR. Frances's father Isaac Little is buried in the National Cemetary in Memphis, TN. He died in 1864 in a Union hospital due do congestion of the lungs.(flu) I have been trying to prove for many years that Isaac was of native American lineage. He was 6'4" tall, high cheekbones, blue eyes and of dark complexion. Many of Isaac's physical features have been passed down from generation to generation. To the best of my research, I believe that his grandmother on this mother side (Nancy Hickey) who had only one name Judah or Juda was the native american. Back then,a white man could marry a native female, but, a native man could not marry a white female. His blue eyes would come from his father's lineage, but, the other physical features would have to come from his mother's lineage. Well, I hope I have given you some facts about our Evans lineage. If you would like, I will send you Sharon and Charles email address so you can information on what they have. Another cousin Marie Barnes of California, also has lots of info.
