Benjamin Franklin Evans, Sr. was born on 7-15-1865 in Kelly, Bladen Co., N.C., a son of Benjamin Evans, Jr. ( 1816-1882). Benjamin Franklin Evans, Sr. left N.C. at the age of 17, following the 'turpentine trail' into southern Georgia. He met and then married Margaret Lane on 1-29-1885 in Ware Co., Ga. Margaret was a daughter of Thomas Lane (1824-1896) and Hannah Thomas (1830-1902) of Manor, Ware Co., Ga. Margaret was born on 3-3-1868 in Manor. After marrying, B.F. Evans Sr. and Margaret lived in Manor, then between Manor and Waycross at Wayhomer where they owned and operated a general store. They later moved to Argyle, Ga and remained there until their deaths. He died on 11-18-1947 and she died on 5-7-1952. They are buried at Antioch Methodist Church Cemetery located out from Argyle, Ga. B.F. Evans, Sr. was known in the community as 'Big Frank' and Margaret was called 'Mag' by many family members and friends. He stood over 6'4" and she was under 5'. He wore a 'handlebar' mustache and was quite a handsome man if I do say so myself :-) I have some wonderful pictures of the two of them and cherish these photos.
