Unless I'm very much mistaken, this should indeed be our Edward Evans and Sarah Wood. But it bears repeating, so far I have seen no source and no evidence whatever for assigning a maiden name to Samuel Evans' first wife. And as Edward was by all accounts twenty-one years old when he served in the militia, and probably older than many of the other members (who were eligible for militia service at sixteen), he was hardly a boy. > Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2010 22:01:45 -0600 > From: listadministratorevans@earthlink.net > To: EVANS-RICHARD@rootsweb.com > Subject: [EVANS-RICHARD] OOPS made a mistake... see last line [could this be relevant Jo Wood.....
