Hi, I may have a chance to do some research in D. C. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas, suggestions, etc., about what could be researched.... or which locations might have records that would help us find out more about our Evanses. Any help appreciated. R. PS I could possibly visit research sites within a hour's drive of D.C....... if these might hold more potential records.

The dates for Amos Simpson and Levina Reynolds and daughter, wife of Hugh Evans certainly encourage me . Keep me informed about any more info in this family line.

Good point, Suzanne! Those names certainly do repeat over and over among the descendants. Plus Lavinia and Levina.. Amos - Simpson - Lavina, Lavinia.... I count 7 Amoses [with a couple Amos Simpsons, one Hugh Simpson], 4 Lavinas/ or Lavinias, Sure seems likely Renee On 9/10/10Friday 9:06 PM, Suzanne H wrote: > The dates for Amos Simpson and Levina Reynolds and daughter, wife of Hugh Evans certainly encourage me .

What do you think the chances are that these [Amos & Levina] are the parents of Lavinia Simpson who married Hugh Evans: The following comes from The Simpsons of early Anne Arundel Co., Maryland <http://simpsongenealogy.blogspot.com/2009/11/simpsons-of-early-anne-arundel-co.html> The Simpsons of early Anne Arundel Co., MD Oct., 2009 -- Donald R. Simpson http://simpsongenealogy.blogspot.com/2009/11/simpsons-of-early-anne-arundel-co.html B. Amos Simpson, b. 09 Dec., 1690; d. about 1748; married 1st 24 April, 1716, at All Hallows Parish, Elizabeth Duval; married 2nd by 1725, Levina Reynolds, daughter of Thomas & Elizabeth Reynolds. The record mentioned above listing the orphan children of Thomas & Elizabeth Simpson indicates that at the time of that record (15 Aug., 1710?) Amos was still not "of age," i.e. still not 21 years old. This would suggest that he was born after 1688 at the earliest, and possibly no earlier than 1690 if that record was actually made in Aug.,1711. If born in 1690 he would have been about 25 when married to his first wife. Some authors have claimed that Amos' first wife, Elizabeth Duval, was the Elizabeth (Jones) Duval, widow of John Duval. [see for instance Donna Valley Russell's "First Families of Anne Arundel County, Maryland, 1649 - 1658, vol 2: The Headrights," where on page 42 she states that John Duvall, the son of Maureen Duvall, was married to Elizabeth Jones, daughter of William Jones of South River, and that Elizabeth married second on 24 April, 1716, Amos Simpson. In the same work on page 83, Donna states that William Jones sold on 17 August, 1689, to "John and [daughter] Elizabeth Duvall a tract of land between South and Severn Rivers."] If John Duval & Elizabeth Jones were already married by 1689, then Elizabeth must have been at least 18 years old (born ca. 1661) and may have been older. She would have been at least 55 years old when married to Amos Simpson and it seems unlikely she could have been the same Elizabeth Duval who married Amos Simpson. However, lacking any evidence of Elizabeth's age the Elizabeth Duval who married Amos Simpson remains an uncertainty. Among the deed records of Anne Arundel County there is one dated 02 April, 1725, & recorded 13 May, 1725, from Thomas E. Reynolds & wife, Eliza Reynolds, of Anne Arundel County to "our loving son-in-law Amos Simpson and loving daughter Levina Simpson" of the said county. This was for a two hundred & ten acre tract called "Amoses Choice," taken out of an eight hundred thirty acre tract called "Food Plenty." In Abstracts of the Inventories of the Prerogative Court, Libers 37 - 47, 1748 -1751, by V. L. Skinner, Jr., on page 24 is listed an inventory for the Estate of Amos Symson of Anne Arundel County, made Dec. 17, 1748, & filed with the Court, Dec., 19, 1748, by the Administrator, Amos Simpson [Jr.], and mentioning Thomas Sympson, Charles Sympson, Lydia Stringer, & D. Dulany attorney for Mr. William Hunt. Mr. Hunt was a merchant in the local Village of Londontown on the South River.

Check this out and let me know if you think these could be "our" Evanses, based on this quote.... http://www.qhcc.org/Evans_House.html This is followed by my posting to the Quaker discussion group at Rootsweb. Never got an answer but it tells you why I'm wondering about Evanses in Richmond, Indiana Good Morning, I just sent this email to our the Evans list and I thought it might help to send to the Quaker list as well. Here is what it said: "Cousins, A phrase from the William Edgar Evans book keeps haunting me. Please pay attention to this excerpt from page 34.... “Genealogy of the Evans Family] Samuel Evans with his three sons, Richard, Samuel [and one name not remembered, - this one went to Philadelphia and became a Quaker, from him the Quaker Evans’ of Warren County, Cincinnati, and Richmond, Ind., came] came from Wales to Maryland about 1720 or ‘30. It is said Richard and Samuel died, or were killed, in the army. Hugh, Richard’s son, moved near Uniontown, Pennsylvania, then called the Redstone Country, about 1780 or ‘82. There Richard married Mary Pierce in 1788." ------------------ That's the quote. Now, what we are trying to do is to find out who went to Philadelphia and became a Quaker. That knowledge could lead to a whole new chapter in our understanding of this family... So, let me be a bit more specific to set the stage properly....This is the family of Richard Evans [abt 1669] and his son Samuel [30 Sep 1691] who lived in Maryland, then PA, with some members moving to WV and others moving to KY, and OH. Sources tell us: "Samuel Evans, a native of Wales, was the father of 13 children by his first wife and 11 by his second. He was living near Hagerstown, Md. when a son, Hugh, was born Oct. 7, 1730. When 30 years old Hugh Evans married Sarah Harden, who died soon after the birth of an only daughter, Sallie, in 1762. In 1763, he married Lavinia Simpson who became the mother of 6 children. He served in Capt. Fisher's Co., 7th Batt'n of Cumberland, Md. during the Revolution." Of Samuel's 24 children, we have names for about 11. So, the one who went to Philadelphia might have been among the unnamed sons, as we do have information on at least 4 of the sons. The age range of this person could have been between 1707 [date of marriage between Samuel and Sarah [1st wife] and 1768 [date of death of Samuel's second wife, Priscilla Moore] If anyone out there thinks they might be of help, please contact us, as we seem to be at a brick wall. Thanks

Kingsbury's Furnace was a place of note, where the iron ore, then plentiful in Baltimore County, was worked. This furnace was situate at the head of Back River, Baltimore Co. In 1761* Governour Sharpe mentions it as the place of residence of a Mr. Anthony Rhodes. About this date, they (the Iron Works,) seem to have gone into the possession of Major Thomas Sherridine whose dwelling Plantation was Kingsbury Resurveyed, near the Iron Works or Kingsbury's Furnace. In 1775 George Matthews offers to give ininformation as to the manvifacture of Iron guns, writing from Kingsbury. In June the Council write " Lieut. Moore has made known to us that there are wanting for the artillery here, 200 four pound balls &c.

Robert Kingsbury, the only one of his name to be found on the Register of Early Colonists, arrived in Maryland in 1651, bringing with him Mary, his wife, Elizabeth Wells and Edward Wells, his children. He also transported eight other persons, settling in what was then Anne Arundell County, laid out in 1650, and from which shortly after his arrival Calvert County was taken, 1654. As the last named County lay on both sides of the Patuxent, when Charles County was erected in 1658, the southernmost part of the county went into that division, while still later, in 1695, Prince George's County was taken from Charles. This mention is made here, as the Kingsburys would appear to have moved, whereas their location remained very much the same for nearly a century, only the legal style and title changing. The Province was in a state of great unrest. The Parliamentary forces were nearing the height of their triumph and Lord Baltimore had placed all important offices in the hands of Protestants. A large number of Colonists came in about this time under the leadership of William Stone, who was made Governor, and of the five hundred settlers he had promised toward the increase of colonization, many came in, as he did, from Virginia. Other detachments arrived from the Mother country in the wake of Robert Brooke and men who brought many followers. Robert Kingsbury was among these, and probably because of the unsettled condition of the Province, and the entire loss of power by the Lord Proprietary, his Demand Warrant for land under head rights was not made out until 1663. That he was seated in Calvert County as early as 1654, is shown by a reference in the Rent Rolls of Lord Baltimore, which locates another plantation "near the land of Robert Kingsbury." In 1661 his home seems to have been an important point in military operations, since order is given that the " Rendezvous of the men to be raysed in St. Mary's Charles and Calvert Counties, be at Robert Kingsburys." In 1663 he demands land, evidently the tract on which he had been living since his arrival in the Province, and to which some intermediate title had been given by the Commissioners who held the Colony "under, and in the name of the Keepers of the Liberties of England, by authority of Parliament." His original warrant is made out for land on the east side of the Patuxent, and can be identified today. The three small dots at the head of Land's Creek,* representing the plantations of Hall, Evans, and Kingsbury. Later he demands additional land by reason of his transportion of others into this Province, here to inhabit, making in all of this first parcell 759 acres, known as the Ordinary. In 1664 he became involved in litigation with one Thomas Paget, from whom he had purchased 200 acres additional, and to which he is refused possession, when he petitions the Provincial Court for writ of ejectment. In 1664 a warrant is made out for a new grant on the north side of the Patuxent Back Pasture, for which patent is issued. Complications arose, for in 1668 we find that assignment is made of the Ordinary, from Samuel Kingsbury, to Thomas Claggett. No other mention can be found of Samuel, and in 1671 letters of administration are granted to his old foe, Thomas Paget, on "all and singular the goods and chattels of Robert Kingsbury of Calvert County. Later appraysement returned." James Kingsbury, Doctor of Physick, is the next person mentioned, and signs in Nov. 1689 the address of the inhabitants of Charles County to their Gracious Majesties, King William and Queen Mary. In 1687 a Jonas or James Kingsbury, (the entry is almost illegible,) had litigation with one Richard Land, while in 1691 Dr. James Kingsbury, of Charles County, Gentleman, purchases from Thomas Gibson, of the same County, a valuable tract of land, as is known from others in patents in the same neighborhood, a portion of this tract, having been set apart for a Town in 1684. At the next Assembly, the locality having been found unsuitable, it was untowned by a subsequent Act of the Assembly. * Hermans' Map. Between 1691 and 1704 Dr. James Kingsbury married Elizabeth Evans formerly the wife of Richard Evans, who had been.one of the settlers on Land's Creek, the Halls, Kingsburys, and Evans, having been neighbors, their plantations lying on the banks of the above named stream, which is known today as Hall's Creek. In 1704 James Kingsbury et Uxor, take out letters of administration on the estate of Richard Evans, of Calvert County, deceased. In 1705 he renders account to the Provincial Court, and appears later as possessor of several tracts of land, for Richard's orphans. In 1724 James and Elizabeth execute a deed of gift to their sons James and John, of land in Cecil County. This deed sets forth the fact that Elizabeth was the daughter of Richard Hall, one of the most prominent men in that part of the Province. He held many positions of importance, and was a member of the L«ower House for several successive sessions. On April 17, 1684, the entry is made "Mr. Richard Hall and Mr. William Richardson, members of this House, are denyed entrance into the Upper House by the Doorkeeper, Except they would Putt of there Hatts." This would seem to denote that these gentlemen belonged to the Quakers. In 1724 James Kingsbury made his will, which was probated in 1726. No further mention is found of him, apart from the accounts which James Jr. and Elizabeth make to the Court of their administration, until 1731, when James and John, his sons, convey to Elihu Hall of Anne Arundel, the land in Cecil County. In 1738 James Kingsbury of Calvert County conveys Northwick,* in Baltimore County, to Daniel Dulany of Annapolis, and in 1743 Elizabeth Kingsbury makes her will, leaving James her executor. The estate was settled in 1746. In 1753 James makes deed of cattle to "loving son John," Prince George's County. In 1753 James and Anne his wife deed to Samuel Evans a tract of land, Kingsbury's Cultivation, in Calvert County, near Evans Range, on Land's Creek. In the next few years we find in the Parish Register of Prince George Parish, Prince George's Count,y the •"Inherited from Dr. James Kingsbury." name of Demilion Kingsbury; mention is also made of Gabriel Kingsbury of Annapolis, but these are so fragmentary as to be of little use. About this time mention is made of Kingsbury Furnace which played quite an important part in the War of the Revolution. John, presumably son of James, appears on the Records, A.D. 1773, as conveying to a certain John Glassfield and Co. one lott of land, lying in the addition to Georgetown, then in Frederick County, now in the District of Columbia. From Land Office, Prince George County: " Indenture between John Kingsbury, of Prince George County, coachmaker, and George F. Magruder, Basil Magruder, Thomas Magruder, the last being sureties for John Kingsbury, who assigns two lots in Marlborough to above-named sureties," July 3, 1771. Of the connections, the Halls have been and still are among the oldest and best families in the State, as are also the descendants of the children mentioned in the wills: Grooms, Pottingers, Bealls, Magruders, McGills, and Bowies of Prince George's County.

Never mind. Found an obit thanks anyway

Quick! Does anyone have the death date for Carey Evans who was married to Katie Ensler on 4 April 1855 in Columbia City, Indiana. I think he was born 29 Jul 1828. He was the son of Simpson Evans and [Anna] Nancy Duckwall. An obit would be fabulous. Thanks for any help. Renee had to pull my Doctor essay until I can fix something

Thanks- nice to read about my "Peeps"- the last paragraph- Nancy is my 3rd great grandaunt. Also, James Evans is my 3rd great grandfather- and of course, this Richard is my guy! I am surprised and intrigued that it refers to his being Col. Daniel Morgan's rifleman in the Rev War. We have not yet been able to prove his involvement. The only name from this bunch that I do NOT have in my genealogy records is Shortridge- found here. Hmmmmm.

Hi, Just uploaded to website the Major Robert Evans Campbell obit and the obit for Katie E. Evans. Have put these in the Photos section just because they are visible immediately and easier to access. If you think this is a mistake and that I should put them under History or File Cabinet, let me know. Renee ps Robert E Campbell was the owner of the powder horn that has disappeared... sure could use some help with that... maybe contacting every museum and genealogical society in that half of Ohio. What do you think?

Hi, Ok little confused on the powder horn again. I see Martha Mccutchen's name. Thats one of my main lines. They came from Scotland to Ireland then U.S. My 5th great grandfather Col. Robert Higgiins Revolutionary War soldier lived in Higginsport Ohio, Town was named after him. I can check with Brown County and Clermount and Highland Co. on Campbell and powder horn. Does anyone else connect to Mccutchens on our Evans list? I live in Oregon, but have made friends in Ohio from researching.
