Cousins, I've stumbled across a website created by a newly discovered cousin. In it she has a sketch which was written by her Father which centers on his Wilson/Evans history. I'm sending you a link so you can enjoy this for yourselves. I'm hoping that Mary will join our little list and website so we can all confer together about our mutual history.

The pieces certainly seem to fit properly. Isaac and Martha Ann being brother and sister and Hugh Wallace Evans being a grandson of Isaac by Marcus Warren Evans. There is one interesting item in this that caught my eye. Isaac purchased this when he was married to Jane P. Morton who died in 1826, therefore was not alive to sign a dower release in 1830 to property that was sold by US Marshall for judgment in 1825. But, maybe I misinterpret the meaning. I read this repeatedly and couldn't determine the cause for suit unless it was finally determined that the legal description of the land didn't not agree with the physical boundaries as understood by all parties. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Evans-Richard List Administrator" <listadministratorevans@earthlink.net> Sent: Sunday, June 06, 2010 10:27 AM To: "OurEvans-Richard Rootsweb Mailing List" <EVANS-RICHARD@rootsweb.com> Subject: [EVANS-RICHARD] Samuel B Turner + Isaac Evans > Samuel B Turner was married to Martha Ann Evans, daughter of Richard > Evans and Mary Pearce. > I'm assuming that the Isaac Evans referred to below is Martha Ann's > brother. > If you don't think that's right, let me know > > > The following comes from Google Books > Reports of cases argued and determined in the Supreme Court of Ohio, > Volume 15 > By Ohio.

Does anyone know who John Newton Evans, son of Richard Evans and Mary Pearce, married.... or anything else about him....??????? I have him born 7 July 1812 in Hillsboro; died 1853 in Highland County.... "Newton, a merchant, At Burlington, Iowa, died of Flux" [from WEE] [What's Flux, anyway????] I have his children as Amos S., Sarah Claypool, Mary.... and a grandson Richard Turner. Pretyy much Nothing on any of them. So, if anyone can help with any of this, please "speak" up. R
Samuel B Turner was married to Martha Ann Evans, daughter of Richard Evans and Mary Pearce. I'm assuming that the Isaac Evans referred to below is Martha Ann's brother. If you don't think that's right, let me know The following comes from Google Books Reports of cases argued and determined in the Supreme Court of Ohio, Volume 15 By Ohio. Supreme Court, Ohio.

Perrill et al. fore did not operate as an acquittal or otherwise bar a further prosecution. Judgment affirmed. Brinkerhoff, C.J., and Ranney, Wilder, and White, JJ., concurred. Eli Mckinzie v. Jeptha Perrill And Others. 1. A purchaser of land in the actual possession of a third party, is charg«abl« with notice of any equitable title of the party in possession, whatever the same may prove to be. 2. The holder of a naked legal title to land, will not, as against a plaintiff in possession of the land, and asserting by action an equitable title thereto, be permitted to set up a countervailing equity in a third person with whom he ia not in privity, and who, being also a party defendant to the action, by bit default confesses the equitable title of the plaintiff. Civil Action.—Reserved in the district court of Ross county. The plaintiff filed his petition, May 22, 1858, in the court of common pleas, to enjoin the execution of a judgment in ejectment recovered by the defendant, Perrill, against the plaintiff, in the district court of Ross county, for the lands in controversy, and to obtain other equitable relief. The case made by the petition is, in substance, as follows: That Samuel Turner, the common source of title, in March, 1816, sold a tract of land, including the parcel in dispute, to -George Denny, who paid him for it. Before Denny purchased, ihe and Turner went upon the land, and the latter pointed out the boundaries of the entire tract, and the sale and purchase were made in reference thereto. The deed was made and the description therein was supposed and intended, by both vendor and vendee, to cover the entire quantity of land included within the boundaries thus pointed out. The deed was delivered, with full possession of the whole tract, under this .impression. HcKintie e. Perrill et al. In September, 1818, Denny sold and conveyed to Isaac Erans. In April, 1825, the United States marshal, having sold the premises at judicial sale under an execution on a judgment against Isaac Evans in the United States district court in the district of Ohio, executed a deed to Hugh W. Evans, the purchaser, in pursuance of an order of court confirming the sale and ordering a deed. Under this deed Hugh W. Evans received peaceable possession of Isaac Evans. On June 10, 1830, Isaac Evans and wife executed a deed of release to Hugh W. Evans, supposing themselves to be thereby conveying their interest, if any, in the entire premises. In 1835, Hugh W. Evans sold and on August 27,1836, conveyed to the plaintiff". In these successive sales and conveyances the premises intended to be sold and conveyed were the same purchased by Denny of Samuel Turner, and the several deeds described the lands the same as they were described in the deed from Turner to Denny, and, with the several deeds, the possession of the entire tract of land intended to be conveyed, was delivered. The several purchasers not suspecting any defect in the description, but supposing their ownership to embrace the whole tract, went on and made lasting and valuable improvements, and particularly the plaintiff. Samuel Turner from the time he sold to Denny up to the time of his death in 1845, lived in the neighborhood of the premises and was fully aware that the several purchasers, and particularly the plaintiff, were making these improvements on the premises in controversy, under the belief that they owned them. After the plaintiff purchased and received his deed, however, it was discovered by Samuel Turner, and afterward by others, that the description perpetuated in the several deeds was, by mistake, defective, and although intended to, did not in fact, embrace the disputed parcel of land. After Samuel Turner discovered this mistake, and before the plaintiff became aware of it, the plaintiff continued to improve and expend McKinzie t>. Perrill et al. money on the parcel, and Samuel Turner knew it, but con cealed the mistake and its discovery, and told the plaintiff that his title was good to the whole tract—that Denny had purchased the whole. In October, 1845, Samuel B. Turner, a son of Samuel Turner, well knowing the facts of the case, procured a release of the premises in dispute from his father for the nominal consideration of one dollar, but in reality for nothing. On May 7, 1846, the defendant, Perrill, well knowing all these facts, procured a quit claim of Samuel B. Turner, and although he lived near the premises ever since the plaintiff purchased and went into possession and made improvements under the supposition that his title was perfect, the defendant, Perrill, brought ejectment in Ross common pleas, became nonsuit and appealed to the district court and there at May term 1858 recovered a judgment, and is proceeding to eject the plaintiff. By amendment to the petition, the heirs of Isaac Evans, who is deceased, were made parties, and the plaintiff therein alleges against them the acts of their ancestor and against him and them peaceable, notorious, adverse and uninterrupted possession for more than twenty-one years. Perrill answered the petition, denying, in substance, the material facts stated by the plaintiff as the grounds for relief: The heirs of Isaac Evans failed to answer or demur to the petition. At the June term, 1860, of the court of common pleas, the cause was tried, and the court entered judgment against the heirs of Isaac Evans by default, and ordered them to execute and deliver to the plaintiff deeds of release for the premises in controversy and that on failure so to do, that the judgment operate as a release, etc. The court further found against the defendant, Perrill— ordered him to execute a release to the plaintiff, and, on failure, that the judgment operate as such, and further forever enjoined him from executing his judgment in ejectment. HcKiniie v. Perrill et al. Perrill appealed to the district court. The heirs of Isaac Evans did not. At the October term, 1861, of the district court, the cause came to trial, and the court found the following facts, and reserved the case thereon to this court for decision, to-wit-: "1st. That by the contract of sale made by the said Samuel Turner, to George Denny, in 1816, mentioned in the plaintiff's petition, it was the intention of said Samuel Turnei to sell, and said Denny to buy the whole of the premises then owned by said Turner in Nathaniel Massie's survey, No. 2461, and including the premises now in controversy, but that said premises now in controversy were not embraced in the deed executed and delivered by said Turner to Denny, dated 20th March, 1816, by mistake and contrary to the intention of both parties. " 2d. That said Denny intended to sell, and the said Isaac Evans intended to buy the whole of said premises including the land in controversy, but that said land in controversy was not embraced in the deed from Denny to said Isaac Evans bearing date 10th September, 1818, but were omitted therefrom by mistake. "3d. That said Samuel Turner, in making sale of said premises to said Denny, surrendered the same to said Denny, and the said Denny, in making sale thereof to said Isaac Evans, surrendered said premises to said Evans, but the possession of said Denny and of said Evans was not such an actual and continual possession as would give them or either of them a title by disseizin or adverse possession. "4th. That the title of the said Hugh W. Evans, under whom the plaintiff claims, was acquired solely under and by virtue of the judicial sale referred to in the plaintiff's petition and the deed made in pursuance of such sale by William Doherty, marshal of the district of Ohio, to said Hugh W. Evans, bearing date April 23, 1825, referred to in said petition, and offered in evidence by the plaintiff, and on file in this cause marked Exhibit No. 3, and by virtue of the deed executed by the said Isaac Evans and wife to said Hugh W. EvMcKimie v. Perrill et al. ans bearing date June 10,1830, referred to in said petition, and offered in evidence by the plaintiff, and on file in this cause marked Exhibit No. 4; neither of which said deeds embraced the lands in controversy, but do embrace the lands described by metes and bounds in said deeds from Samuel Turner to George Denny, and from said Denny to said Isaac Evans. '*5th. That the said Hugh W. Evans, after the execution and delivery of said marshal's deed to him, took possession of the lands described in said deed, and also of a part of the land now in controversy, and claimed the ownership of all of said land from the time of the execution of said marshal's deed to him until the said sale to the plaintiff. The greater part of said premises in controversy remained uninclosed and unoccupied until the plaintiff inclosed and occupied the same after his purchase from said Evans in the year 1836. " 6th. That it is established by parol proof offered herein and admitted subject to exceptions, that the object and purpose of said deed from said Isaac Evans and wife to said Hugh W. Evans was merely to procure a release to said Hugh W. Evans of the inchoate right of dower remaining in said wife of Isaac Evans, and that the said Evans and wife supposed that the lands described in said deed embraced the premises in controversy, but that such supposition was based on the belief or supposition that the description in said marshal's deed embraced said lands. " 7th. That at the time of the conveyance by said Hugh W. Evans to the plaintiff as evidenced by the deed of said Evans to the plaintiff bearing date August 7, 1836, and on file in this cause, marked Exhibit No. 5, the plaintiff supposed he was buying, and the said Hugh W. Evans supposed he was selling, not only the lands described by metes and bounds in said deed, but also the premises in controversy; and accordingly the said McKinzie took possession not only of the lands embraced in his said deed, but also of the lands in controversy, and soon after, as early as the years 1837 or 1838, inclosed the same and continued to occupy, improve, and culMcKimie v. Perrill et al. tivate the same, with the knowledge and tacit acquiescence of said Samuel Turner uninterruptedly down until after the conveyance of the premises in controversy by said Samuel Turner to said Samuel B. Turner on October 2, 1845, and by the latter to the said Jeptha Perrill on May 7, 1846. " 8th. That said Perrill purchased said premises in controversy from said Samuel B. Turner, as evidenced by the deed of the latter to said Perrill, bearing date May 7th, A. D., 1846, and on file in this cause, marked Exhibit No. 6, for a valuable consideration, and without any actual or other notice of the plaintiff s alleged claims, rights, and equities in said premises than the said possession of the plaintiff furnished or charged him with, in law, and that he had no notice, at the time of his said purchase, of any claim, right, or equity of the said Isaac Evans, or of his widow and heirs, parties herein, in said premises, or of any other person whomsoever. Alfred Yaple and S. L. Wallace, for plaintiff. Hunter $ Daugherty and MeClintick § Smith, for defendant Perrill. Brinkerhoff, C.J. From the facts found by the district court it appears that when Samuel Turner, the common source of title, conveyed to Denny, and Denny to Isaac Evans, the grantors in those deeds of conveyance, respectively, believed they were conveying, and intended to convey—and the grantees believed they were receiving, and intended to receive, a perfect title to the entire tract of land described in the petition, including that part of the tract now in controversy between the parties; but, by mutual mistake, the terms of description employed in the deeds of conveyance did not embrace that part of the entire tract now in dispute. And, throwing out of view, for the present, the sale by the United States marshal to Hugh W. Evans, and the subsequent release to him by Isaac Evans and wife—the same remarks are true in respect to the conveyance from Hugh W. Evans to the plaintiff. Thus far, then, we trace to Isaac Evans, and find in him a McKinzie v. Perrill et al. perfect equitable title to the entire premises; leaving nothing but a naked legal title in Samuel Turner, or in the parties claiming under him with notice of the outstanding equitable title. And, in respect to the matter of notice, it may here be remarked, once for all, that at the time Samuel Turner undertook to convey to his son, and he to the defendant Perrill, the plaintiff was in the actual possession of the entire tract, and both Perrill and the Turners, therefore, were conclusively chargeable with notice of the plaintiff's equitable title, whatever that might prove to be. House v. Beatty, 7 Ohio Rep. pt. 2, 90; Kelley v. Stanberry, 13 Ohio Rep. 426; Williams v. Sprigg, 6 Ohio St. Rep. 594. And whoever else may bave, it is clear that the defendant Perrill has not the equitable title to the land in question. It does not appear, nor is it claimed, that Isaac Evans, in • whom the equitable title clearly vested, ever attempted any conveyance of the premises to any one, except by the deed of release by himself and wife to Hugh W. Evans, after the purchase by Hugh W. at the marshal's sale; and, therefore, if the equitable title did not pass by that deed of release to Hugh W., and so to the plaintiff, it vested by descent in the heirs of Isaac Evans, where, for aught that appears, it still remains. The sale by the United States marshal was, as to Isaac Evans, in invitum, and to it the doctrine of caveat emptor applies in all its strictness; and the plaintiff neither can, nor does, claim anything through the medium of that sale and conveyance. The final question in the case then arises: Did the equitatable title to the land in dispute pass from Isaac Evans to Hugh W., by the deed of release from the former to the latter? The plaintiff has made the heirs of Isaac Evans parties defendant to his petition, in which he claims the equitable title to these premises through the medium of this deed of release from their ancestor, and as against them. They have the equitable title if the plaintiff has not, but they fail to answer; and, by their default, they conclusively confess the allegations Loach v. Church, Adm'r. [graphic] and claims of the plaintiff against them. Code of civil procedure, sec. 127. This, it seems to us, completes the plaintiff' s chain of title in equity, and is conclusive of the case in his favor. The defendant, Perrill, holds the naked legal title, and he is to be regarded as a trustee for the owner of the equity. It is true, the district court find, as a matter of fact, established by parol testimony, admitted subject to exceptions, that while Isaac Evans and wife supposed that the terms of description employed by them in their deed of release to Hugh W., embraced the entire tract of land, yet the object and purpose of said deed was merely to release the wife's inchoate right of dower therein. But, waiving all other questions as to the competency of this proof, it seems to us that the defendant, Perrill, can not be allowed thus to set up a countervailing equity in third persons, with whom he is not in privity, and who, being parties to the suit, by their silence disclaim for themselves, and in the plaintiff's favor, the title, which he, a stranger, seeks to thrust upon them. Decree for plaintiff. Scott, Ranney, White and Wilder, JJ., concurred.

That helps.... check this out. Following are the children I had listed for Pierce [Pearce] Evans and Mary Ann Braugher Horatio Allen B John W Mary A Alfonso B Orlando Rinaldo Nancy Newton Alvara.

According to the limited information I have on this family, he is the son of Pierce (1793-1862) & Mary. Pierce Evans purchased several parcels of land in Defiance Co., OH. in 1824, but seems to have moved to Richland Twp., Henry Co., OH. by 1830 where it appears to be him and his family in the census. Then in 1835, Pierce purchased several parcels of land in Williams Co., OH that total about 836 acres and in 1836 purchased still more land in Henry Co. with one parcel being in Williams Co. that totaled 400 acres. John N. is listed as 13 in the 1850 census of Defiance Co., OH. where he is listed with his parents and some of his siblings, the older ones already out on their own.

Help needed in identifying this John Newton... Is he the son of Pierce Evans and Mary Ann Braugher? Help!!! From: Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center · University of Nevada, Reno http://knowledgecenter.unr.edu/specoll/mss/91-42.html A Guide to the Records of John Newton Evans Collection No. 91-42 John Newton Evans John Newton Evans was born in Defiance, Ohio, in 1835 to Mr. and Mrs. Pierce Evans. He arrived in northeastern Nevada in 1850 after driving a herd of cattle from Ohio. Three of his brothers were already in California and Nevada. John, or Newt as he was sometimes called by his family, bought land in Long Valley, Lassen County, California, in partnership with his brothers Allen and Alvaro. Together they raised alfalfa and cattle, with Newt making several trips to the east to purchase additional livestock. During Newt's 1876 trip to Ohio he met Elizabeth Metcalf, whom he married the following year. Soon after their return to Nevada, they purchased land north of the town of Reno, at the foot of what was to become the University of Nevada, on Evans Avenue. There they built a large house and raised their six children: Mary Elizabeth Evans Robinson; John, Jr.; Pierce Rice; Rowena Evans Morghan; Nancy B. (who died in about 1901); and Ben Allen Evans. Newt and his brothers eventually sold their Long Valley property and concentrated on building their holdings near Reno and on the Humboldt River, and on acquiring the Highland Ditch and its water rights. John N. Evans was instrumental in having the fledgling University of Nevada moved from Elko to Reno in 1885 and sold the state land upon which the campus was built. He was a director of the Bank of Nevada and Farmers' and Merchants Bank and president of the University of Nevada Board of Regents. Mrs. Evans was very active in the Reno community. She was a leader of Trinity Episcopal Church, the Twentieth Century Club, and other organizations. She traveled to other states and made a trip to Alaska in 1915. John Newton Evans died in an accident in 1904. After his death, his widow and surviving children formed the J.N. Evans Estate Company, Inc. to administer Evans' estate. Mrs. Evans died in 1924. The next year, the Evans' mansion was sold to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity who used it until 1953, when it was torn down and replaced by a ranch-style fraternity house. The adjacent Evans property was purchased by the City of Reno and converted into a city park (Evans Park). Scope and Content The John Newton Evans Papers were donated to the Special Collections Department in several increments by Fred Holabird and by Dr. James Herz (as part of Dr. Herz' large gift of photographs). The bulk of the collection came from Dr. Herz; documentation with that gift indicates that he received it from Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Evans Robinson, daughter of J.N. Evans. The collection consists of .5 cubic feet of materials dating from 1892-1944. There are no restrictions on access or use of the collection. Although the collection is small it contains a variety of interesting and informative materials related to John N. Evans, his family, and his business interests. Letters from Evans to his wife reveal details of his cattle operations, as he usually wrote when he was out of town managing his ranching interests or buying or selling livestock. Mary's letters tell of events at home or of her trips to San Francisco to visit friends. There are some miscellaneous letters, such as two from the Reverend Samuel Unsworth, pastor of Trinity Episcopal Church in Reno. One of Unsworth's letters offers sympathy on the death of the Evans' next-to-youngest daughter, [Nancy B. Evans]. Upon the death of John Newton Evans in 1904, his widow and surviving children formed the J.N. Evans Estate Company, Inc. to manage the estate. This collection includes articles of incorporation, bylaws, minutes of board of directors' meetings, and other legal records. Several of those documents list assets of the estate, both real and personal. A few papers of Rowena Evans Moraghan accompanied this accession and include correspondence, legal and financial documents, and bank records. Other miscellaneous materials include a description of Alaska and narrative of Mrs. Evans' sightseeing trip there in 1915; two biographical sketches of John's parents, Mr. & Mrs. Pierce Evans and J.N.'s life (mostly prior to his 1850 arrival in California); organizational histories of the Twentieth Century Club of Reno, Trinity Guild, and The Missionary Society; voluminous correspondence with the Washington Memorial Church/Nevada National Bell Fund; assorted poems; and newspaper clippings about Reno people and events and about the Evans' house. The Herz gift also included a number of photographs of the Evans family; those photographs remain in the Herz Photograph Collection. See the photograph curator for more details on those images.

FYI: Juliet Evans [daughter of Isaac Evans and Jane Morton, Isaac's first wife] married Judge Theophilus Lyle Dickey. One of their children, Martha Ann, married Gen. William Harvey Lamme Wallace, who was injured at the Battle of Shiloh and died a couple of days later. Below is a letter he wrote to Martha Ann before he died. pg. 20] Colonel William H. L. Wallace, of Ottawa, Ill., a successful lawyer and a prominent Republican politician before the Civil War, had been a delegate to the first Republican National Convention in 1856. Wallace, who had been a second lieutenant in the Mexican War, abandoned his law practice at the outbreak of the Civil War and was mustered as colonel of the 11th Ill. on April 30, 1861. In June the 11th Ill. was ordered to Bird's Point, Mo., opposite Cairo. Wallace commanded the Second Brigade of the First Division of Grant's army under Brigadier General John A. McClernand at Fort Henry. The day after the fort surrendered, Wallace described the action in a letter to his wife, Martha Ann Dickey Wallace, daughter of T. Lyle Dickey who had been a prominent Illinois lawyer, judge, and politician, and presently was colonel of the 4th Ill. Cavalry with Grant.13 Fort Henry Tenn. Feb. 7, 1862 Dear Ann:--We are here--got in yesterday afternoon after the gun boats had shelled the enemy out--We (the 2nd Brigade) were some 3 or 4 miles out, on the march, when the cannonading ceased--It lasted about two hours & was tremendous--The effect of the fire on the fortifications here was terrible--Guns dismounted--earthworks torn up & the evidences of carnage meet the eye on every hand--It was a strong place & could have been held by a determined force for a long time--The enemy seemed to have been siezed with a panic & the whole body some 4 or 5000 left, leaving an artillery company in the Fort--Genl. Lloyd Til[gh]man who is in command of this district or division of the rebel forces is among the prisoners--Our loss aside from the scalding of some 30 men on one of the gun boats by the cutting of a steam pipe, was one man from the 4th Cavalry, belonging to Capt. Shepherdson company14--The 4th cavalry did good service in following up the retreating enemy They took eight cannon & 40 prisoners They feel mighty fine over it--The 11th didnt get under fire but hope for better luck next time. I am exceedingly tired & this morning I had a tremendous headache the worst I ever had--induced doubtless by long continued exposure & loss of sleep & irregularity in my meals--I have just laid down in Capt Rawlins15 stateroom on the steamer & slept an hour or so, & got some dinner & I feel much better & am now going out to my command which is encamped on the hills-- [pg. 21] Genl. Grant invited me me to take a state room on his boat & perhaps I will for tonight-- I dont know where we go to next, but I suppose we will follow them up & perhaps attack Ft. Donaldson on the Cumberland which is 13 miles distant-- The men have been without tents most of the time since we started--The 11th had not had a tent since we landed & they were exposed to a tremendous rain the night before we marched here--The roads were horrible--but notwithstanding this they marched & took the heavy trains of artillery over the worst roads I ever saw-- God bless you my darling wife--I feel to rely on His providence & protection more & more--I know He will take care of us all if we do our duty, & in this I feel I am doing my duty--The prospect for being with you on the 18th are not flattering at present, but yet I am not altogether without hope--Kiss Blossom & Tilly for me--My regards to all our good friends & believe that I love you with my whole heart--Good bye-- Yours W H L WALLACE ------------ Source for this letter: http://library.msstate.edu/usgrant/newsletter2.asp also 13.

How long has Carlisle Bowling been gone? How was he related to us? Did he ever publish anything or is he on any website? Thanks Renee
Hi there everyone I have been real slow abt researching and after 2 major PC crashes,I almost gave it all up. The Samuel Evans who was married to Nancy Courtney,according to the late Carlisle Bowling,would be my husbands gr.grandpa. Looking thru my files,his son Marion was b.abt 1849.Nothing else mentioned abt him. If the census records for 1850 Marshal Co.W.VA. are correct,then Marion's place of birth is VA.

I'll give you the source and you can edit it, if you want it for your files Biographies and portraits of the progressive men of Iowa: leaders ..., Volume 1 By Benjamin F. Gue, Benjamin Franklin Shambaugh http://books.google.com/books?id=QZ8UAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA199&lpg=PA203&ots=F8bMPF6KXQ&dq=%22cynthia+evans+mcclure%22&output=text <http://books.google.com/books?id=QZ8UAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA199&lpg=PA203&ots=F8bMPF6KXQ&dq=%22cynthia+evans+mcclure%22&output=text> McCLURE, Isaac N., is a successful merchant and influential business man of Mediapolis, Des Moines county. He was born in Des Moines county within six miles of his present home, February 1, 1844, and is the son of William McClure, a farmer in comfortable circumstances, who settled there on government land in 1839. His parents were both natives of Pennsylvania, who came to Ohio, then to Illinois at a very early day. Mr. McClure was a man of strong convictions and high moral character. They reared a family of eleven children, eight of whom are now living. One of them, William G., is now a Christian missionary in Asia. Mr. McClure died in 1864, while his wife lived to the age of 77. They lie side by side in the Kossuth cemetery and their children "arise and call them blessed.'' Their son Isaac had a good early training, learning the value of money by working on his own account in the harvest field as a boy, following the cradle at 25 cents a day. He is of Scotch-Irish descent. His mother, Cynthia Evans McClure, was of Welsh extraction. Isaac attended the country schools until 17 years of age, when the war broke out and he did not attend school any more until the winter of 1864 and 1865, when he paid his own expenses in a private school in Mt. Pleasant. The following winter, 1865, he attended the Yellow Springs academy at Kossuth, and had made such progress that the following fall be secured a teacher's certificate and taught school in the winter. In the summer he worked on a farm and ran a threshing machine in the fall, keeping this up for three years. During his last term of school in the winter of 1869, he secured a two weeks' vacation and went to Lyndon, Ross county, Ohio, where he was united in marriage to Miss Susan Elizabeth Parrett, a very worthy young lady of that place, daughter of Joseph and Molena Parrett. Mr. McClure says that ever since his wedding day, December 28, 1869, he has been a firm believer in that passage of scripture recorded in Proverbs 18: 22, "Whoso findeth a wife, findeth a good thing." After his marriage, he farmed until the winter of 1873, when he bought a half interest in the general store of A. C. Brown, in Mediapolis, entering actively into the business in February of that year. The firm of Brown & McClure continued in business until February, 1886, when Mr. Brown retired from the firm and Mr. McClure associated with him Mr. J. I. Roberts under the firm name of I. N. McClure & Co. After doing business for five years their large store building burned to the ground, February 3,1891. About $12,000 out of the $23,500 stock of goods were removed and the balance was reduced to ashes, but was entirely covered by insurance. After the fire Mr. William S. Patterson was associated with the firm under the old name and a fine brick store room 40x110 feet with a large brick warehouse, was built over the ruins of the old store. This firm did business together for three years, when in February, 1894, Mr. Roberts and Mr. Patterson retired from the firm and Austin J. Evans became Mr. McClure's partner, the firm becoming McClure & Evans, which has continued in business until the present time. During the year of 1891, Mr. McClure became impressed with the need of a bank in Mediapolis, the nearest one being sixteen miles away, and succeeded in convincing others of the need. A corporation was formed under the name of the State bank of Mediapolis with a paid up capital of $25,000, and has been very successful. Mr. McClure is its vice-president and one of its principal stockholders. He is a staunch republican in politics, and has been an elder in the Presbyterian church for years, also superintendent of the Sunday school at Mediapolis for eighteen years past with the exception of three years. To Mr. and Mrs. McClure have been born three children, Marcus P., Loue M., and Prank E. Marcus Parrett was born April 9, 1872, and graduated in the classical course at Parsons college, Fairfield, Iowa, in June, 1893. He spent the subsequent year in Washington, D. C., taking a special course, and there received a second degree coupled with a diploma bearing President Cleveland's signature. He taught one year in Vermont in the Green Mountains, and then being convinced he was called of God to preach the gospel, in September, 1895, he entered the McCormack's, Theological seminary in Chicago and completed the course in June, 1898. Previous to leaving the seminary he received a unanimous call to become the pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Kilbourne City, Wis., which he accepted and entered on the duties of the pastorate. In September, 1897, he was united in marriage to Stella, daughter of Hon. Wm. E. Fuller, of West Union, Iowa. To them in June, 1898, was born a son, Donald Fuller McClure. Loue Maggie was born May 19, 1875. She graduated at Parsons college in June, 1897. Miss McClure had talent as an elocutionist and she took the $20 prize in the oratorical contest in March, 1896. In June, 1898, she was united in marriage to Rev. Herbert W. Rherd, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Milan, Ill. Franklyn Evans was born November 27, 1877.

Hey.... can someone tell me if this gentleman is "ours"? I think he could be if his parents were Samuel E Evans and Nancy Courtney and if his grandparents were John Evans Jr and Elizabeth Raver..... but I'm not sure. [Our Samuel E Evans did have a son named Marion... but some of the dates don't seem to match exactly.] Does anyone know for sure? Let's be sure to erase this if he's not ours... so as not to cause confusion! BTW, There is a picture of him in the article. Here's the source Portraits of the progressive men of Iowa: leaders ..., Volume 1 By Benjamin F.

His grandfather, John Evans, Sr., was born in Maryland, April 9, 1794, and was descended from Welsh ancestors. John Evans, Jr., the father of Marion L., was born in Crawford county, Ohio, June 13, 1830, and moved with his parents to Henderson county, 111., in 1837. Starting in life without financial assistance he has by good judgment and close attention to business accumulated a comfortable fortune, and still resides in Henderson county. He was married April 23, 1857, to Sarah Young Davis, who was born in Ballston, Saratoga county, N. Y., March 13, 1899, and came with her parents to Henderson county, 111., in 1836. Her father, Abner Davis, was born in Vermont, September 21, 1794, and served through the war of 1812. In 1836 he settled upon a farm given him by the government in Henderson county, 111., where he continued to reside until his death, December 10, 1874. Marion L. Evans received his early education in the country schools and completed an academic course. Later he attended Monmouth college. In the spring of 1879 he moved "out west," as people said, to Iowa, and located on a farm in Mills county. In 1889 Mr. Evans removed to Emerson, where he built a home and has since resided. Mr. Evans' experience in stock raising began when he was a small boy and when he was 16 he was able to sell all the stock he had raised for $1,200, which was used in paying his school expenses. For many years he has been associated with his father in the live stock business, and they now own 7,300 acres of Iowa land and usually have on hand some 2,000 head of cattle. Mr. Evans is president of the American Aberdeen-Angus Breeders' association, and has a wide reputation as a careful and successful breeder of black cattle. He is also president of the Farmers bank at Emerson, and a director of the First National bank of Malvern. He is a republican and a member of the A. P. A. M. Chapter, Commandery of Red Oak, and of Tangier Temple at Omaha, Neb. Mr. Evans was married June 28, 1883, to Hattie M. Tubbs, daughter of Judge L. W. Tubbs.

Welcome aboard. At the moment I don't see a connection with anything in my own gedcom, but perhaps someone else on our mailing list will respond. Have you tried the "BIG" Evans list? [We're a very little Evans list. Our list is described at Rootsweb as: Topic: The EVANS-RICHARD mailing list is for the discussion and sharing of information regarding the ancestors and descendants of Richard Evans who emigrated with his son, Samuel, from Wales (we think) to America in the 1700's. Their known pattern of migration includes the following states: Maryland>Pennsylvania>Kentucky>Ohio with one line moving to Louisiana.] Good luck, Renee list administrator Bob & Sandi McGinnis wrote: > Hi > Was just sent this address for info on Evans family.
