Hi, Alice, Do you know the relationship between Zachariah H. Beall and Rezin Beall (who married Nancy Williamson)? One of my relatives married their son, Otha Beall. Another of my relatives must be a nephew by marriage of the Scholl you mention. Marcia Scholl, daughter of Joseph and Lavina (Boone) Scholl, married James Holliday. Do you know whether James and Marcia had children? Do you know anything about the background of Sarah Meek? My ancestor, Esther (Wohlgemuth) Brandenburg, of Clark County, Kentucky, had a sister married to a Meek. The Meeks would have lived in Frederick County, Maryland, along with the Brandenburgs, before moving to Clark County, Kentucky. Regards, David B.

Hi Alice, Thanks for this information. I had dates on many of these folks, but they tended to be later than yours. Some of my information came from Charles Marck. [BTW, I've lost touch with Charles. Does anyone know if he still has an email address? If so, can you give to me off list.] My personal practice when I have two dates is to include both and put the name of the source next to the dates. I won't confuse the issue by listing these now, but I will add a couple of items that I had which isn't in your information, Alice, so we can verify it. I had a death date for Mabery of abt 1824 I hadn't known that George and James Waddell were brothers. I have Stinson's first name as John... so John Stinson. I had a death date for Nancy Ann of 18 Nov 1807 [so this or the 1806 date could be verified] You cleared up a confusion I had with Sarah Meek and Seleh (Celia) Scholl. That was a nice tidbit about Seleh being the granddaughter of Daniel Boone. Well, those are the major differences I had, for what it's worth. You mentioned that you have data on their families, Alice. Even though this isn't my direct line, I know I'm interested....

Hi David! Well, I had to look them up, but here they are: Zachariah was the eldest of 8 children, and Rezin was his brother, b. 1775. Their youngest brother was also named Otho. Thanks for the info on Rezin's wife and child. The Scholls. Seleh (Celia) was the eldest of the ten children of Joseph and Levinia. Her sister, Marcia, was their sixth child, who married James Holliday on 31 mar 1808. During their short marriage, Sarah was born, 6 feb 1809. (d. 10 jul 1887, IL) Jesse Boone b. 6 feb 1811, d. 7 dec 1874, IL William b. 4 jan 1813 KY, d. 1822 KY 7 mar 1814, Marcia died. James remarried in 1817 Rebecca Frame (b. 22 Dec 1791 KY). She died 1822 KY. Sarah may not have married- but Jesse married twice. First to Susan Davidson and had 4 children, then Anastatia Davidson- sisters I think- and they had five ch. I have a bit more data, if you want. Now, SARAH MEEK! Sarah Meek- I have done NOTHING much on her, and I will do some looking today- and let you know what I find. Hope this helps.

I am surprised that this data has not come to you before now. Enjoy! Richard Evans, my 4th Ggrandfather, was son of Samuel and Sarah/Priscilla- depending on which way the proverbial wind is blowing, and born, I believe in 1725. Yes, I supppose it could be 1736, but only if you can picture a 10yr old male parenting a child. Now, here is the data on all those folks from this family you apparently did not know about. In Richard's will, written Feb 27, 1797, and proved May 27, 1805 in Clark Co. KY, he lists his wife Mary, and seven children. (But not his own birth date, nor Mary's surname.) 1. Mabery (1746-1824) m. Margaret Forsyth 2. Mary (1750- 1805) m. George Waddell 3. Elizabeth (1753) m. Stinson 4. Susannah (1761) m. James Waddell, brother to George 5. Nancy Ann (1763- 1806) m. Zachariah Hardin Beall, father Leonard- both, Frederick Co MD. 6. James (1764-1840) m. 1) Sarah Meek, my 3rd ggrandmother, and upon her death in 1800, immediately m. 2) Seleh (Celia) Scholl, granddaughter of Dan'l Boone. 7.

An accumulation of several emails from Charleen which include within them messages from Karen and Roger. Thanks to all. Not sure if these are all in the right order..... Please note that if you want to chat with all these folks, you'll need to add their email addresses to the evans-richard@rootsweb.com email at the top Renee ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks to Karen Golly, a descendant of the Drummer Boy, we have new information concerning *Eleanor Evans,* the daughter of the Drummer Boy. This is pertaining to Eleanor who married Robert Patton. *****************See page 1 of the *Descendent's of the Drummer Boy:Edward Evans of VA which is a lineage chart. * Then you may want to add this to page 5. Eleanor 1678..... Thanks to Karen! Charleen ***************************************************Here goes************************* *Edward, Drummer Boy*. His daughter, *Eleanor,* 19 Apr.,1775 and died: 1830 married *Robert Jesse Patton,* 1770-1839. Their son, *Matthew*, b:15 Nov.,1805 in VA (most likely WV of today) died: 17 Sept, 1892 and is buried in the Patton Family Cemetery in Portland, Or. He married *Polly Ann Grimes*, 1800;d:1868. When that line moved on west - he and Polly situated to the area of Pattonsburg, Missouri.- Pattonsburg is named after him. He started a water mill there. Their children are: *Robert,* b:1836 in Ohio; *Henry*, b:1839 in Pattonsburg, Missouri; *William*, b:1842 in Pattonsburg, Missouri; Matthew J., b: 1848 in Oregon and died in 1906. . Eleanor and Robert had another son who moved to Oregon. Karen ------------------ *Addendum to the Descendants of the Drummer Boy: Edward Evans of VA* John Evans 1783 Va, married Elizabeth Ann Windsor. This John Evans 1783 is said to be another son of the Drummer Boy. He had a farm in Decatur, Indiana. This Evans Family ended up in Missouri. Their daughter, Deliah Evans, married Russell Newman, the son of John Newman. Delilah and Russell with most of their children headed to Idaho from Missouri. From there several sons went into Klamath Falls, Oregon, thus we find many of the Drummer Boy's descendants headed West. The pioneer graveyards in Idaho are filled with Evans and surnames. The Towell Wagon Train is reported to have had Evans members on this wagon train. The above was from: Roger @ burby9@yahoo.com <mailto:burby9@yahoo.com> See: http://www.idahoocta.org/TD_April_2005.pdf Emily Towell, "Missouri to Idaho, 1881: *Emily Towell's Diary,"* Covered Wagon Women: Diaries and Letters from the Western Trails, Vol. 10.) --------------------------- Mitzidell@aol.com wrote: > Roger has sent me new info also. > > You may include it also, but do realize that when I wrote the book, I > did not have any information that Gerrad, another son of Edward, the > drummer, even existed.

Charleen just sent this to me. Sharing with you in case you are interested or find it helpful Because we have been brought up in this country with separation of Church and State, we may not understand exactly what the Church of England (C of E) was and what its duties and responsibilities were during Colonial times. *Duties and Responsibilities of the Church of England ministry during Colonial Times.* Besides administering to the spiritual needs of its members, the clergyman, clerks and vestrymen of the Parish also served the community in much the same way as our modern county administrators, and health and welfare departments. The clergy, his clerk and sometimes an actual tax collector, collected taxes. The vestrymen (usually landed gentry) set the amount of tax and what it would be based on. The C of E kept track of births (baptisms were sometimes taxed), marriages (always taxed) and deaths in the Parish Records. Taxes were collected to run the church and take care of the poor. Vestry Records contain lists of taxes collected and from whom (revenue); some deaths, and "welfare" information, such as payments to people caring for indigents; the church paying for caskets and burials for the indigent; the sick, disabled or orphans being placed in people's homes with an allowance for their care; etc.; also, various donations to the church, and craftsmen who worked on the church (expenses). Starting with the 1662--Act of the Assembly: Ministers were required to prove that they were ordained by an English bishop, and all others were prohibited from teaching or preaching, publicly or privately. (One instance was in 1682 when Francis Makemie, a Presbyterian minister landed in New England; preached a sermon; and was jailed within "a very short period of time".) Religion in the colonies was established by law; the union of church and state put the church under the political control of the state. Doris of http://www.dmkheritage.com/store/

If I've already shared this with you, apologies. I searched the list and couldn't find that I've had.... so here it is [BTW, would anyone happen to know how he ended up in San Jose, California?] http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~silhouettes/highland/amosevans.txt AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THE STATE OF INDIANA Richard S. Peale & Co., Publisher, 1875 Page 673-674 AMOS S. EVANS In the spring of 1800, Richard Evans emigrated from Kentucky, and settled in Highland county, Ohio, where Amos S. Evans, his son, was born May sixteenth, 1816. Richard Evans was an extensive and successful farmer, and trained his son to the same occupation. The son, however, was born to be a merchant; and, in 1836, at the early age of twenty, in obedience to an instinct which had been manifest from boyhood, he formed a partnership with his brother-in-law, F. Evans, and embarked in business on his own account at Defiance, Ohio. In the fall of 1838, he removed to Hillsboro, Ohio, where for twenty-five years he prosecuted the retail dry goods trade with success. Having determined to seek a larger and more promising locality for trade, he removed, in the spring of 1860, to Fort Wayne with a view of engaging ultimately in the wholesale trade. For two years, while making arrangements to that end, he continued the retail trade. At length, in August, 1862, in the dark days of the war, against the remonstrances and amid the forebodings of friends, he inaugurated the wholesale dry goods trade of Fort Wayne. Wholesale grocery houses had existed there for some years, but he was the pioneer of the dry goods jobbing trade in Northern Indiana. Up to this time he has continued the same business, with constant and increasing success; and with the aid of several well-chosen junior partners, all young men trained in business by himself, he has established a house second to none in the State in standing or prosperity. Mr. Evans is eminently fitted for the business which he has pursued with such unvarying constancy from boyhood up. With the keenest powers of observation, cautious in the midst of danger, and yet bold to take advantage of the rising tide, he never fails to catch the favoring breeze, and yet has always been found with all sails furled when a storm came. During this long, active and laborious life, he has not been unmindful of other and higher interests, both public and private. He is a man of extensive reading and culture, and accurate general information. In 1854 he traveled in Europe, and, in 1856, with his wife, made a second and more extended tour, embracing Europe, Egypt and Palestine. With many others of the State, he has been an active worker in behalf of prison reform. In 1871 he was appointed by Gov. Baker one of the commissioners of the house of refuge for juvenile offenders. In all religious enterprises, and especially in the Sunday-school work of his city and State, he has been particularly active. In 1867 he bought a lot, and built on it a neat and suitable chapel, at his own expense, for a mission Sunday-school in the destitute part of Fort Wayne; and he has personally superintended the school ever since with the exception of one year. In 1872 he was president of the State Sunday-school union, and has rarely ever missed one of its meetings. For fourteen years he has been one of the officers of the Allen county Bible society, and was for several years its president. Upon the whole Mr. Evans' life has been one of great labor and activity, and at the same time of great usefulness. He has shown how it is possible for a man to be a philanthropist, and a worker in all humane and Christian causes, and a systematic and successful business man on the largest scale, at the same time. He has proved by his own example that a man may grow rich in trade and yet be doing good all the while. Such examples are not as numerous as they should be, and they deserve to be noted when they occur. Mr. Evans was married September twelfth, 1843, to Mary Poage, of Greenup, Ky. She died December thirteenth, 1853. On February eleventh, 1856, he was married to Sarah H. Hanna, of Fort Wayne, who is still living, and is a worthy co-laborer with her husband in all good works. Found at Rootsweb also here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~silhouettes/highland/amosevans.txt and from WEE on page 45 Amos Simpson Evans, died April 4th, 1897, at San Jose, California. He was on his way to Church Sunday morning. He told his wife and daughter that he would not go with them in their carriage, but felt like walking, and would walk. On his way he suddenly became dizzy, caught hold of a fence, but sank down, and died almost instantly. He was the last of his family, - a large family.

I plan to make copies of the notes from Judge Evans to give to the Southern Ohio Gen. Soc. and the Ross County Gen Soc if they do not have them.

Great! I think that's important. I'd like to get a better copy from the place in California. I had to leave some of the words blank because the copy they sent me couldn't be read.

Thank you so much! I'll take a look. I am Lyle Evans' great- grandaughter so this is of particular interest to me.

Mornin', I just spent quite a while searching our website for the notes of Judge William Edgar Evans... and I couldn't find them. So I have reloaded them and you can find them now in the History Section. Following are two emails that I sent way back when I first posted these. Note: some of the words in the copy I sent were so faint that they couldn't be read. These notes have only to do with the branch of our Evanses which moved to Ohio [from Kentucky and before that from PA and MD] EMAIL #1 Hello Evans List.... I am sending the first few [4] pages of a photocopied work which I have only been able to find in one library in the entire US. These 68 or 69 pages were sent to me from the Sons of the American Revolution library in Glendale, California. [The president of that association told me that they have one of the largest libraries... not dedicated to genealogy but one which has much information for genealogists - west of the Rockies. I had never heard of them. They don't loan out their books, but they will make copies for payment... up to a certain number]. What I'd like to know from you is.... have you seen these before? Is that library the ONLY place that this document exists or have you seen them elsewhere? I can tell you that I had a librarian friend of mine search for this document [which I had seen referenced in a work] and she did not even find it at the Library of Congress! I would think that the library of the Southern Ohio Genealogical Society or the Ross County Genealogical Society ought to have this, but... maybe not. -------------------------------------------- EMAIL #2 INTRODUCTION T0: COPY OF NOTES KEPT BY JUDGE [WILLIAM] EDGAR EVANS -- FATHER OF LYLE S. EVANS, OF CHILLICOTHE, OHIO This .pdf document is a transcription of a rare source: "Copy of notes kept by Judge Edgar Evans - Father of Lyle S. Evans, of Chillicothe, O." I am a descendant of that branch of the Evans family which immigrated to America in the 1700’s. Richard Evans and his son, Samuel, came to Maryland about 1730. They then moved to Pennsylvania; from there to Kentucky, finally settling in the Hillsboro, Ohio area. I had come across a reference to these notes by Judge Evans in a source I was researching, but when I tried to locate the document, no one had ever heard of it. I contacted a librarian friend of mine who searched and she was able find this document in only one location: The Sons of the Revolution library in Glendale, California. Not even the Library of Congress had this rare set of notes! The complete name of the author is: Judge William Edgar Evans. Although The Sons of the Revolution will not loan their materials, I was able to pay them to send me a photocopy. Many of the pages were so faint, I decided to transcribe the words. As I worked with the material I realized that I had already seen some of it as excerpts in other accounts of our Evans family branch, but much of the material was totally new to me. William Edgar Evans was the son of Dr. John Baxter Evans and Lucinda Wilson. Judge Evans was married to Julia Belle Sanford. He was born in 16 July 1847 in Frankfort, Ross County, Ohio. One of his children was Lyle Sanford Evans, who has also become associated with this document. I hope you will be as happy as receiving this as I was in discovering this very rare account of our Evans branch!

I'm so excited about this I can hardly contain myself!!! In today's news Renee -------------------- CHESTERFIELD — One of her ancestors fought alongside Daniel Boone in the Revolutionary War. Another was a famous Indian chief in New York in the 1600s. Yet another was a clockmaker from Switzerland who came to Baltimore in 1794. "I still have hopes that one of his clocks will be in a store somewhere," said Joyce Loving, an avid genealogist and the special-collections manager at St. Louis County Library headquarters in Ladue. Loving was put in charge of the library's genealogical records in 1998. Back then, her department consisted of a single desk on the library's fourth floor. Today, she oversees a staff of 12, and the department boasts more than 50,000 books, 850 periodicals and 18,000 rolls of microfilm. Parts of the collection are on each of the headquarters' five floors. But soon the collection will get a place of its own, the latest sign of how genealogy research has boomed in recent years. The St. Louis County Library Foundation is designing a 60,000-square-foot Family Heritage Center in Chesterfield at the corner of Wild Horse Creek and Baxter roads, with the goal of opening it in 2012. It will be one of just five free-standing genealogy libraries in the country. The others are in Houston, Independence, Mo., Boston and Salt Lake City, long considered the mecca of genealogical research. "We will be on a very short list," said Ann Fleming, treasurer of the St. Louis Genealogical Society. "It's a real coup." The foundation, a nonprofit that raises money for the library, started talking about plans for a new genealogy library a couple of years ago. The foundation approached Louis Sachs, of Sachs Properties, about buying six acres of his Downtown Chesterfield development. But the idea so enthralled Sachs that he donated the land for the center, said Kathy Higgins, president of Sachs Properties. Higgins said her boss, a longtime benefactor of the arts, has also sought to preserve the region's history, naming streets and developments after settlers such as Justus Post and August Hill. Because the center is still in the design phase, officials say they don't have precise cost estimates yet. Jim Bogart, the foundation's manager, said all of the money for the new library will be raised privately. The foundation began its fundraising effort earlier this month. It hopes to break ground on the Heritage Center sometime this year. Sachs Properties may contribute to the construction costs, Higgins said. "It was the perfect fit," Higgins said.
