Hello, list folks! I'm looking for people named Evatt. A Louth family, Evatt was, in the 18th Century, MacEvatt or McEvatt. Some turned to the "Established Church" and some the Presbyterian religion. Doing so, many dropped the Mc- / Mac- prefixes. The name may have gone back to the early 17th Century as an alias to avoid detection following the O'Dochartaigh / MacDaibheid 1608 Derry Uprising. By the later 17th - early 18th Centuries the name in Armagh-Louth-Down completed a phonetic change from the earlier MacDavitt/McDevitt to McKevitt, with the transitional MacEvatt concentrated in Louth. Your input appreciated.
