Don, Whoever did the transcription may have changed the date to reflect the New Style, which would be 1703, as opposed to the Old Style calendar, which would have been 1702. David Brandenburg -----Original Message----- From: evans-richard-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:evans-richard-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Don Raymond Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2010 2:53 AM To: evans-richard@rootsweb.com Subject: [EVANS-RICHARD] (no subject) Found posted on the Internet by Martha Nolley Last Will & Testament of Richard Evans IN THE NAME OF GOD, AMEN, this seventh day of the month called January in the year of old Lord, 1703, I Richard Evans of Calvert County in the province of Maryland, being sick and weak of body, but of sound mind and memory an willing to put things in such order as well as I can, may avoid thiefs and confrontion amoung my children hereafter and to the intent of such land and goods and Chattlos as the Lord hath been pleased to lend me, may be disposed of according to my intent and meaning to revoke all former wills by me; I do make this my last will and testament, in manner following: My will and mind is that all my debts be well and fully paid by my Executor, and hereafter, I give and bequeath to my Loving wife, Elizabeth Evans, during her natural like, the land and plantation whereon I now live - Orchard; and all the land thereto belinging, it being of the land called Hall Hill, which I bought of my brother-in-law, Elijha Hall. My will and mind is - that after the death of my said Loving Wife, I do give and bequeath all the aforesaid pieces of land -Hall's and Orchard, thereunto belonging, living and located in Calvert County, it being a part of Hall's Hill, I do give and bequeath the same to my son, Sam Evans, to him and his heirs forever. I give to my son, Sam Evans, three hundred acres of land being in Sufguahannah River, in County being the north part of a parcel of land called The Hope. I do give and bequeath to Sam for him and his heirs forever. If it happen that the child my wife is now big with be a boy, I do give and bequeath to him four hundred acres of land; it being part of the tract of land Called Evanesangs, being in Prince George County in the north branch of Pattux River. I do give the said land to my said son to him and his heirs forever..... If it should happen to be a girl my wife is now big with, my will and mind is that the aforesaid four hundred acres given in the first article, that it shall be equally divided between my three daughters; Elizabeth Evans, Ann Evans, and the child my wife is now big with. The them and to their heirs forever. I give and bequeath to my daughter, Elizabeth Evans, two hundred acres onf land, it being part of Evans Range, being in Prince Georges County in the north branch of Pattuxont River Gouge. I give my said daughter all the said land to her and her heirs forever. I give and bequeath to my daughter, Ann Evans, all that tract of land called Greens Delight, located in Georges County. I give my said daughter, Ann Evans, all the said tract of land for her and her heirs forever. I give and bequeath to my loving wife, Elizabeth Evans, one hundred and fifty acres called Johnsfond's Place, being in Dorchofter County on the left side of Hungor River. I give the said one hundred and fifty acres of land to my loving wife, during her natural life; and after my wife's death, I do give the land, one hundred and fifty acres of the land given to my wife in the ninth article, after my wife's death, I do give the said land to my Son, Sam Evans and to his heirs forever.

This has obviously been transcribed from whatever and was not done well as will be seen by reading through it. The final remark is also of interest to me, causing me to wonder just how this was acquired that only part of it printed off. Also, since most records seen heretofore have given his death as 1702, I wonder how we now come up with a death date of 1703. The Evans tree this is attached to has his death as 7 Jan 1702 .... ????? ... did they transcribe the date wrong and should be 1702? His birth is given as 1660 in Talybont, Merionethshire, Wales.

Don, A photocopy of the actual will has been available on our Myfamily website since July 11 of 2008. It is several pages long since it is on very large paper and had to be scanned top and then bottom. You can see the actual words for themselves. If you haven't accessed our website, let me know and I will add you.

The following two messages comes from Charleen: OH! You will have fun with this information if you are wanting to know more about our ancestors. Monongalia County is just below the Greene County, PA area. The County once in its early years encompassed many other adjoining West Virginia Counties. http://www.wvgenweb.org/monongalia/lookups.htm A second e-mail will be sent to tell you of the new coordinator; he lists those looker-uppers whose e-mails no longer work. Good huntin' Charleen --------------------------- This was received from the new Monongalia, WV Web site coordinator. ****************************************************** Hello to the list I have taken over the volunteer responsibilty to coordinate the Monongalia County WVGenWeb site. 1. The pages have been updated and format changed after a dormant period. 2. Some of the Look Up Volunteer email addresses are not active ( http://www.wvgenweb.org/monongalia/lookups.htm ). Replacements are needed unless these folks are monitoring this list and can get back to me. If you know them or are able to do lookups yourself, please let me know. Nonactive emails include those for: Jonni Longstaffe Betty B. Card Cindy Crawford Billie Lovett, Kathleen Rogers Lovett Norris Taylor Anyone with addtional resources who can volunteer to help others out are invited to let me know. 3. There is an interactive calendar on the website on which you can post reunions workshops and other such events for anyting having to do with WV Family History. 4. I would like to work towards having a team approach to Monongalia Website which is one of the most important and also one of the hardest hit by the loss of early records. If you have any skills or knowledge relevant to Monongalia County people and history such as one particular district or township or historical era and can volunteer some time to compile information about that area, please let me know as well. I must admit as well that I have collateral and distant lines from Monongalia County; but my direct liens were mostly from other counties to the south. All of our successes will be greater if we share inforamtion about connections and when we research a source of information and can provide information found there of other families, then we can all easliy add free information online to help each other out, a little at time or more. Remember Monongalia County does not have a genealogial Society, we are it. Best regards Paul Pettit Monongalia Co WVGenWeb Coordinator

Whether all programs of the "Who Do You Think You Are?" air depends on the numbers of those who watch....so it would be great to have viewers.

It is a good book. I can express that from personal experience since I have a copy ($40 + tax) purchased from Greene County Historical Society, located in Waynesburg, Greene County Pennsylvania and also visited there at which time I purchased a copy of "History of Greene County 1888," by Bates, not as elaborate in the families I was chasing but still good and offers one a cross reference to material. However, I have found that so many of these publications tend to mimic/repeat each other, rather than spending the time and effort to research and develop their own information and thereby, proliferate any misinformation published by the other publisher. One has to be just as doubting and critical of these as any other source. I have been to Greene County and spent some time there, taking photos and doing research which brought much published data into question. "Lucas Genealogies," by Annabelle Kemp, is another publication I own but is devoted to the Lucas lineage while touching on collateral lines. However, much of the the early material in Kemp's publication is derived from Howard Leckey's publication, "The Tenmile County & It's Pioneer Families." -------------------------------------------------- From: "Evans-Richard List Administrator" <listadministratorevans@earthlink.net> Sent: Tuesday, February 09, 2010 7:55 AM To: <evans-richard@rootsweb.com> Subject: [EVANS-RICHARD] TENMILE COUNTRY AND ITS PIONEER FAMILIES > Here's how it's described on their website: > > TENMILE COUNTRY AND ITS PIONEER FAMILIES > > ISBN#1558563431.

Here's how it's described on their website: TENMILE COUNTRY AND ITS PIONEER FAMILIES ISBN#1558563431. Reprint. This book is loaded with genealogical info on early families in present day Greene, Fayette, Washington, Westmoreland and nearby counties of present day Southwestern Pennsylvania, plus many from Northern Virginia, present day West Virginia and some from Western Maryland and Eastern Ohio who settled these areas in the mid to late 1700s. Much of the history includes family migrations from Eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, etc. plus French and Indian and American Revolutionary War participants. It is a great publication for any one researching this part of our early growing country when it was claimed by both Pennsylvania and Virginia. After 1750 the Tenmile Country became a desired place of settlement or stopover point for the huge migration of Scotch-Irish, to a lesser extent, British, colonists who extended American settlement beyond the Alleghenies. Migration to the Monongahela took place over three main routes: along the National Pike via Winchester, Virginia; through the Shenandoah Valley to the head of the Cheat River and from there to the Monongahela; and along the Lincoln Highway to Ligonier, Pennsylvania and thence along Jacob’s Creek to the Monongahela. From the time of the French and Indian War to the end of the 18th century, the tributaries of the Tenmile Creek would be inundated by pioneers—many of them German or Scotch Irish, some of them the spillovers from the great migration into Kentucky, and still other travelers and immigrants who passed through Baltimore enroute to one of the great migration trails. This book was originally published as a series of newspaper articles by Mr. Leckey before being consolidated as a book in 1950 and then reprinted with with an every-name index under the auspices of the Greene County Historical Society in 1977. The work commences with a historical overview of settlement in the Tenmile Country, and it concludes with a new surname index by Closson Press to replace the very inaccurate every-name index. There are well over 500 family histories of varying lengths, which delineate the lineages of the many families who migrated into this area. The genealogies, which are arranged according to place of settlement, are periodically embellished with rosters of one sort or another, maps, facsimiles, and illustrations. The genealogical sketches cover or touch on more than 2,000 main families who settled in the Upper Monongahela during the final third of the eighteenth or first quarter of the nineteenth century. This is definitely a great starting point for genealogical research in southwestern Pennsylvania. Back by popular demand.

Ya-hoo! Go Saints!!!

Well, I'm just as confused as you. I came across the citation for the Humpton-Evans book.... worked really hard to find it.... couldn't ... and then I got a microfiche through my Interlibrary Loan. I made copies from the fiche... just in case this Edward related to us in some way. I posted on the site, and transcribed the first page... to see if the members of the list could help out. So.... let's wait and see. Maybe someone will know something. R Roger Burbank wrote: > Hi, I'm confused on Edward Evans.

Hi I've transcribed the first page that has to do with the Edward Evans of the Humpton-Evans book. Posting it here in case it rings any bells. Remember, the whole 10 pages are on the website. I could transcribe more but don't want to take the time unless you all find it important. R "EDWARD EVANS, Soldier of the Revolution His great-grandfather, Hugh Evans, came over with William Penn in 1682 and located near Philadelphia. Hugh Evans, father of the subject of this sketch, located in what was then Cumberland, now Bedford county, Pennsylvania, on the Juniata river, about ten miles from the present town of Bedford. There, Edward Evans was born April 27, 1760, an only son. He had two sisters older than himself, who died in young womanhood, but not before they had made themselves some reputation for attainments in vocal music. . Edward Evans spent his boyhood as boys in that time usually did. He was very fond of fishing in the Juniata and often made trips to Hagerstown, Maryland, where he obtained salt. In these trips he usually took a train of twelve horses. He would carry the horses feed in packs going over and leave it at the stopping places where it would be used on his return. He sold the salt for twelve dollars per bushel. In his sixteenth year, the revolution broke out and he and his father forgot their Quaker training. Hugh Evans, his father, went into the Revolution in January, 1776 and served two months. Then Edward took his place, and became a member of Captain Dawson's company of Colonel Richard..."

I found an article that said Edward Evans was a quaker but the actions of King George had made him take up arms. I sent it to several members who said he was ours but writer had him connected to wrong family. I'm trying to find article. I think I saw it looking at Wales connection.

The Humpton-Evans book [don't think he's "ours"] has been uploaded to the Myfamily site. Look under the Reviews section. I'd be interested in hearing what you think. He certainly traveled the same route our Hugh did.... Hard to believe they weren't related in some way. Your views? R

I have a poor copy of a microfiche I got from the University of Rochester: "Sketches of Col. Richard Humpton and Edward Evans, Eleventh Pennsylvania Regiment Revolutionary War". I do not think these are "ours".... but I could be wrong. This Edward was married to Jemima Applegate and I don't have her anywhere in my data. It would take me some time, but I could scan and make this available by email or post on our Myfamily site.... Let me know if anyone might find this helpful. I think it is relatively hard to come by.

Lu has asked me to make this announcement regarding her cousin who has done the DNA testing @ FTDNA: / I hope that this will be a help in sorting out the Richard Evans family lines on the comparison charts. I feel confident that my cousin DNA pattern will fit right into the Edward Evans the Drummer Boy's family. Would you please let list members know that these results will soon be available. /For privacy's sake, please contact me off list and I will give you Lu's cousin's kit number so you can compare the results at http://www.ftdna.com Thanks, Renee
