Good Afternoon, As I mentioned previously, I am working on a little essay about the descendants of Richard Evans [married to Mary Pierce] who became physicians. Here's a request. If any of you know of any physicians who came from his female descendants. Those would all have had different names than Evans... I'm so busy just working on the guys with the surname Evans, I haven't thought of tackling the girls... except for one who came through Sarah Evans who married a Wilson. But if anyone knows of any others, it sure would save me a lot of time if you would share that info with me. As I mentioned, I will be posting my findings on our Myfamily site.... and if it's good enough, I may submit to some genealogy journal.... probably one in Ohio... although some of the descendants practiced in other states. Ok that's it.... Thanks Renee

Sorry, I don't think I have anything of help in this area at present, but have stumbled into what appears to be a father and son in the Civil War and another leading to what appears to be the Dole Pineapple dynasty. You may already be aware of this but not knowing just who is working on what part of the family history, I thought to share this with anyone interested. This turns up with the Dickey connection to the Evans family. I will keep my eyes open for any information regarding physicians. Sure you don't want to do one on lawyers and politicians? There seems to be several of those.

lawyers and politicians? You betcha.... and JUDGES....starting with our Richard. But one thing at a time. I'm still really struggling with this one. Every time I get to the point that I think this "sketch" is ready to go into final revision, I find another doc. Believe it or not, I now think I have to rewrite... starting with HUGH and not Richard.... because Richard had a brother who was a doctor. And we can't leave Him out.... so back to the drawing board. I keep asking myself: Why so many doctors? You know all I can figure out is that early on they knew they were going into uncharted territory with no help around.... so someone in the party had to be the one to learn all the medical stuff they might need.... so he/they apprenticed with some local doctor [in PA or KY] before they set off into the great unknown so they would know what to do in an emergency..... And years upon years of experience accumulated till they actually were as good as a formally trained doc. Eventually the medical schools formed and the succeeding generations began with formal training. I don't know. I'm just guessing, but it's all I can come up with to explain the numbers..... To complicate matters sometimes the doctor had a second occupation.... so that in some records he might be a farmer, or merchant, or something else and then later you see him as a doctor. Yipes! One in question seems to have become a merchant so he could set his sons up with an occupation for the future - even changed his location to open the store - then turned it over to the kids when they were old enough to take over, withdrew, and went back to being a doctor [or at least that is what it seems from working with the data]. I really want to find out about Israel Evan's training. I just don't know why there isn't more about him in any literature. I find stuff on his being an abolitionist & the Underground Railroad, on his land dealings, but just a couple of articles on his being revered as a physician... not much at all about his training....just that he started off in Rising Sun, Indiana.... across the river from the general area in KY where he ended up. But, how did he get to Rising Sun.....and... will we Ever know? Don, I know we'd all love to know about the Civil War and the Dole Pineapple stuff.... Can you share? So curious.

This isn't hard core proved yet, but seems Juliet E. Evans, daughter of Isaac & Jane P. Morton Evans, married Theophilus Lyle Dickey (?15?) Dec 1831 (listed in 1850 as a circuit judge in Ottawa, LaSalle Co., IL.) by whom she had these children, Martha Ann b. ca. 1843 KY., Cyrus E. b. ca. 1835 IL., John J. b. ca. 1839 IL., Charles H. b. ca. 1843, Virginia Isabella b. ca 1845 IL., and Kitty E. b. ca 1849 IL. ......... T. Lyle Dickey is listed in Ancestry as enlisting from Ottawa, IL., on 8 June 1861 as a Colonel in Company S, Illinois 4th Cavalry Reg. on 12 Oct. 1861 & mustered out 16 Feb. 1863; recorded source is Illinois roster of officers and enlisted men. ........ Son of T. Lyle Dickey & Juliet Evans, Cyrus E. Dickey, resident of Ottawa, IL., enlisted 20 Apr. 1861 in Company I, Illinois 11th infantry Reg., promoted to full Sergeant Major 2 May 1861 and mustered out 30 Jul 1861 .... commissioned an officer in Company S, Illinois 11th Infantry Reg. 3 Aug. 1861, promoted to full Captain on 1 May 1863 and mustered out 1 May 1863. .... Commissioned an officer in the U.S. Volunteers Adjutant Genl. Dept. Infantry Reg. on 1 May 1863 and mustered out on 13 Apr. 1864. Source, Illinois roster of officers and enlisted men. Note: Cyrus appears to be a lawyer also. Then, the forth child of Theophilus Lyle Dickey & wife, Juliet E. Evans Dickey, Charles Henry Dickey b. ca. 1842 at Ottawa, LaSalle Co., IL. (per family tree posting of Charlotte Jamieson and document research) moves to Hawaii (reason not found yet) where it appears he marries Annie E. (?) whom is given as born in Hawaii ca. 1844. They are listed with 3 children, one Belle (may be Grace Graydon Belle Dickey per one source) marries James Drummond Dole born 27 Sep 1877 in Boston, MA. and lives in Honolulu, Hawaii as the President and Manager of Dole Pineapple Company. Passports, ships passenger lists, family members in homes during census connects these families except for not having the marriage document of Theophilus Lyle Dickey to Juliet E. Evans although they are shown in the census, her in her parents home and then in her own home. Some researchers are giving marriage date variously in December 1831 and in South Salem, Ross Co., OH.
