Hello Folks, I have only been on here a short while, and know that this site is devoted to Richard Evans. My question is, can someone post the data on this Richard Evans, and where he was from.?? Please, as I do not know which Richard this was. My Richard W. Evans was born ca. 1765...not sure where, but suspect it to be Md. or Va. He was in East Ky. by 1800, and last found on the 1830 census being 60/70 yr. old. Also on this census was Phillip, Evan, and John Evans. Richard being much older than the others. Have some data collected from old post on different Evans families, but as yet have not tied my Richard into any of them. There was of course, the line of Thomas Evans of Monongalia Co. Va. whose widow, and some children came to East Ky. BUT there were OTHER Evans lines there in that time frame also. Just trying to divide them, and sort out who belongs to who..!! Thank you for any data,.......all is a help.

Hi Kaye, Welcome aboard. This list is devoted to a study of our immigrant ancestor, Richard Evans, who came to Maryland before 1672. He was born sometime between 1650 and 1665. We have yet to find out exactly where [you can search some of the past list emails for discussions on such topics]. He had died by 25 April 1703. He married Elizabeth Hall, daughter of Richard Hall and, we think, Elizabeth Wingfield. His children included Samuel Evans who married Sarah ?; Elizabeth Evans who married Charles Lucas and Peter Beal; Anne Evans who married Robert Pottinger; and Priscilla Evans who married William or Richard Groome and ? MacClain. Since Samuel was Richard's only son, all of us descend from him. I'm sure we have other cousins who descend from Richard's girls, but, so far as I know, we haven't discovered any of their descendants yet. A lot of the dates I may have given can be debated but I'm just trying to give a quick framework. Samuel moved to Pennsylvania and his many descendants spread out from there....Some of his descendants who fought in the Revolutionary War were given lands in other states. I'm from Hugh, who was given lands in Ohio... but before he could claim them because of Indian problems, he lived in Kentucky. We think that Samuel may have had descendants whose names we do not have. Other members of the list descend from other of Samuel's descendants and their histories involve other states. They may introduce themselves to you. I hope whoever shares your history will do so. 'Nuff for now....

Thank you Renee......appreciate the answer. Seems Ohio was a favorite place for the Evans's to settle. and I suspect it was land given many times to Rev. war vets. As yourHugh. There were allot of the Evans clans that lived along the Ohio River, who moved over into Adams-Brown counties of Ohio, and others.Think my Richard MAY be related to some of them ??????? And that is a big MAY. I saw your Hugh mentioned in a history in our local library.( I live in Ohio) Stated he was in Bourbon Co. Ky. before moving to Highland Co. Ohio in 1799. While I really doubt that my Richard was in Pa., it is still allot of help in putting these families in groups. Would appreciate anyone with any data on these East Kentucky Evan's families passing it on. And I will watch with interest all the posts given on this site. Love to see genealogy spread..........you have a great site. Again thanks......and Merry Christmas to all !

Concerning the children of Richard Evans and Elizabeth Hall: Unless I'm very much mistaken, the guardianship papers from 1714 indicate that Richard Evans' children were Samuel, Ann, Elizabeth, and Richard, the last being the child born in 1703, after his father's will was executed. Their sister, Priscilla, was born a Kingsbury, and was the daughter of Elizabeth Hall by her second husband. Since there isn't any later record of the younger Richard Evans, it appears that he died without issue, and before his mother or any of his siblings. Please correct me if I'm mistaken; but my understanding is that, while Priscilla may have been our aunt, she was never an Evans. Paul A.
