    3. 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.
