Noah and Elizabeth have the same birth dates. I believe that the Ayres book made a mistake.

I have always believed that the Amos who helped in the battle was the son of Hugh. The dates and place fit together. Perhaps Robinson is the brother-in-law of one of Richard's siblings. I will check along with you.

Amos Evans , born in 1838--1901 was a dentist.

Dr. Amos Evans who married Jennie Smith Duckwall was a dentist. His father-in-law was also a dentist , according to my records. The Ayres book is not always accurate. I remember reading there this week that Evan Evans had children that really belong to my Evans family. So names and dates need to match.

Renee, today I visited the Historical Society's library. I wanted to see the large Bible in the library that had "The Bible of M.K.Evans" of Washington C.H on the inside cover. The note on the outside says "Donated by the Chaney family" . Inside the Bible there are a few names listed in the family section---all Chaney. Today I found some news articles. I will send all of this to you . I have never known of any Chaney connection. My dad's sister is Marjorie Katherine Evans who lived in Washington C.H. as a child and as an adult. I know the M.K. Evans cannot be my aunt because she would never have given her family Bible to anyone . Plus there are no Evans names in it. Dr. Amos Evans, 1/26/1838---10/9/1901 married Jennie Smith Duckwall . I remember seeing the info that you mentioned but I have not been able to determine what it means. I have been wanting to research the Evans farm on route 73 . Jennie Smith Duckwall Evans lived there until she died and then, her son , John , lived there until he died. John's widow , Vera Lindsey Evans willed it to her side of the family and they eventually sold it. I will try to find if the Evans family owned it previously. The information that I will send you is everything that is included in the Evans folder in the library. I plan to continue to research the library for anything else.

So....if one of Richard Evans' SONS [Noah] married a Robinson [Elizabeth Dodd Robinson], does that count as the book saying that one of Richard's brothers-in-law was the Robinson who got killed by Indians? Note that Elizabeth Dodd Robinson was from Chillicothe... and there was a Joshua Robinson also from Chillicothe. Think this is it? See below Elizabeth and Joshua were bro and sis R ------------ William Robinson born Aug 7, 1764 ob Aug 8, 1822 buried in Union Meeting house Cem Ross Co, O. He & his family migrated to Ross Co, O near Chillicothe & later made a permanent settlement near Bloomingburg, Fayette Co, Ohio. Married 1 Sept 4, 1787 Jane Carson who died Dec 8, 1795 having had five children all probably born in Fayette Co, Pa. Married 2 Aug 29, 1797 Sally Conwell b June 6, 1772 ob Jany 12, 1845 & buried Bloomingburg, O, daughter of Capt Wm Conwell & wife Comfort Coulter of Fay Co, Pa. They had nine children.

Just sent the following to the Robinsons Message Board.... Sending it to you too in case someone 'out there' can help me figure it out. The following is from Elsie Johnson Ayres book "Highland Pioneer Sketches".... I need helping identifying Joshua Robinson... his family and home "address" "While Gen. Wayne was negotiating a treaty with the Indians, Rogers joined Rev. Robert Finley, Amos Evans and a party of some forty men who set out to hunt homes in the new land. They left Manchester on the Ohio and after traveling for several days, saw definite signs of Indians. The red men were encamped on Paint Creek at a place now known as Reeves Crossing. The Indians resented the attempt of the white men to settle in their territory and a skirmish followed. Joshua Robinson, brother-in-law of the early Judge Richard Evans of our county, died of wounds received in the battle. Five or six Indians also were killed in what has been termed, 'The last Indian battle in Southern Ohio.' [page 454] I'm trying to figure out if Ayres has this wrong because I can't figure out how Robinson was Richard's brother in law. So it would help me to know more about Robinson and just how he relates to my Evanses. Thanks

Oh no, not Renee again [you're probably all saying].... just discovered this from Ayres book: "The first Coroner of Highland was Amos Evans. This fact we are only able to learn from an order of the Court of Common Pleas, made on the 26th day of February, 1806, by which it appears that "Amos Evans and his securities were exonerated from their bond as wherein Amos Evans was Coroner of the county of Highland." This we think conclusive that he was Coroner before Paulin. who was elected at the October election, 1805, and consequently the first Coroner of the county." So my question is now.... can a Dentist be a Coroner... or do you need a medical doctor...and if this isn't the same Amos who was the dentist, who in the world is this!!! Writing from the state of perpetual genealogical confusion R -------------------------------------------- Sent too fast... another question.... is the Dr. Amos they talk about below a DENTIST and not a medical doctor? [the one married to Jennie Smith Duckwall??????????] Can someone please identify the following for me [from Elsie Ayres book] "Amos Evans married a daughter [?] of Lewis Chaney and had two sons, John T., [?] and Richard Evans [?] Eventually, Dr. Amos Evans [?] came in possession of the farm [?] There are so many Amoses, Johns, Richards... I'm just trying to figure out who is who and which farm they are talking about..... the Fenner farm? or some other farm. Thanks Renee

Mystery #1 Where is Nancy Evans Swearingen's daguerreotype???????? Remember that a while back I tried unsuccessfully to track down a daguerreotype of Nancy Evans Swearingen. She was the daughter of Hugh and Lavinia and she married Joe [Joseph] [von] Swearingen. The daguerreotype was supposed to be in the possession of a Leoti Mize of Sarasota, Fla... who passed away. I was unsuccessful in contacting Leoti's son who might have had information on that. Mystery #2 What happened to Duke Swearingen? Remember also that William Edgar Evans [WEE] paper that I've placed on our website. In it he says on page 27: [Renee: Can’t figure out who Charles and Duke are below.] Nancy Swearenger was the mother of nine children: 1. Sophia [Patten] oldest and last to die. Died 8 years ago. 2. Duke. He went away when young, and was never heard of afterward. 3. Charles. Was killed by cutting a tree. 4. Hugh. Reputed father of Mrs. Morton. 5. Albert G. 6. Drusilla. 7. John. 8. Andrew. 9. Nancy Well, I have just come across the following and I wonder IF it refers to this same Duke: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~henryhowesbook/pike.html <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/%7Ehenryhowesbook/pike.html> " In the days of flat-boating on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, the mysterious disappearance of men who had started for New Orleans with cargoes of produce, was no uncommon occurrence. It was the custom to take a cargo down the rivers, and if the pioneer merchant had escaped the perils of the river and successfully disposed of his cargo, he had a still greater peril to face when, with his gold on his person, he journeyed on horseback toward home. The Mississippi country was infested with robbers and murderers, ever on the lookout for unwary victims. The SWEARINGEN Mystery.—A black mystery to this day enshrouds the fate of Duke SWEARINGEN, who succeeded Gov. LUCAS in his mercantile business at Piketon. About 1823 SWEARINGEN started for New Orleans with a flat-boat load of flour and meat. After he passed out of the Ohio into the Mississippi he was never again heard of. When the time had passed when he was due at home, his friends at Piketon became uneasy about him. Weeks and months passed, and no word was received from him. A search was made for him up and down the river, and at New Orleans, and he was advertised for, but Duke SWEARINGEN was never again heard from. Shortly after Mr. SWEARINGEN’S disappearance another merchant of Piketon, Mr. WILLARD, forever disappeared after a manner identical with the circumstances surrounding SWEARINGEN, becoming lost to the knowledge of his friends." a little earlier on the same site, the following is found: "A late writer states: Piketon was surveyed and platted by Peter DUNNON, a Virginian and a good surveyor—as surveyors went in those days. The court-house was not built at Piketon until about 1817, and prior to its completion court was held in a stone building near Piketon, owned by John CHENOWETH. The court-house built at Piketon, which is still standing, was of brick. Among the earliest settlers in and about Piketon, were Jonathan CLARK, Charley CISSNA, Major DANIELS, Joseph J. MARTIN—who was for years Lord High Everything of Pike county—the BRAMBLES, MOORES, BROWNS, SARGENTS, PRATERS, NOLANS, GUTHRIES and the LUCASES. Most of these families first came into “the prairie” about 1797, but the LUCAS brothers came later. Robert LUCAS, one of these pioneers, afterward became Governor of Ohio. His brother founded the town of Lucasville. About 1820 Robert LUCAS was conducting a general store at Piketon, which he afterward sold to Duke SWEARINGEN. In 1829 LUCAS was elected to the Legislature from Pike county, and thus began his political career." ------------------- This makes me a bit curious and a bit confused... when WEE refers to Duke.... would that be the same as the Marmaduke who has gotten so much press over the years? Maybe some of you out there who know more than I about these matters can explain..... Finally.... Mystery # 3...Where is the powder horn? Remember that I was in search of the Revolutionary War powder horn which belonged to Edward Evans. The last anyone knew, it was owned by Robert Evans Campbell [a lawyer and judge] of Georgetown, Brown County, Ohio who passed away on 3 March 1936. Still haven't found it. Still a mystery. R PS.... just thought of something....I really don't know how to use Craig's List. Do you think there is a way of putting "Searching For" notices on Craig's list to see if anyone might have heard of the Nancy Evans image or the powder horn?

Happy Mother's Day to all you Evans mothers and allied family members out there! Are any of you interested in Foreman history? Tom Holloway has kindly shared a document with his research in it. He said I can share with you, just please put his name on it. You can also contact him with any questions. There is only one Evans reference that I can find, but perhaps there is someone else there you may be interested in. So contact me off list if you want me to attach it .... can't make attachments to this Rootsweb list.

Actually I misspoke even then, in that it is actually Independence, MO., where Blue Ridge Cemetery is located. In the metropolitan area of Kansas City, the lines get a bit blurred to the individual traversing around the city. The city of Grandview is a bit south of Independence. Thank you, I will see if I can contact them to see if they wish to correct this in their post.

Yes, since my old newspaper articles from the family scrapbook show me that they are the same. According to them I read that Rev. W.B. Dunham of the Presbyterian Church married my grandfather Samuel and grandmother Blanche in 1907 and Richard F. Evans was groomsman. Then the same Rev. Dunham conducted the funeral services for Richard Evans who was in college. So the dates go together although I do not yet have the year of Richard's death. I will eventually research this information to make it accurate. I am simply matching up the facts which "look" accurate.

So, let me get it straight: the handsome young man in the newspaper photo of the senior class play... the one with the crown standing next to your Gramma... that is the same young man who would die in college from the football accident? How very sad. By the way, Suzanne.... I'm uploading all the photos/articles you are sending to the Myfamily site. I know you wanted to share with the members on our list... but the list can't take attachments...So we just need to let the folks know that I hope to get your attachments uploaded today. And thank you so much for sending them. I hope it encourages others on our Rootsweb list to share some of their photos and BMD records. It's So Very Helpful.... and you are So Generous to Share.
