Karima; thank you so much. This certainly "could" be the missing David; the DOB pretty well fits. Never heard of him & Susan having a child named Grace but it is certainly possible; perhaps Susan died while giving birth to her. Are there perhaps any Williams, Trobaugh or other Evans graves near to the gaves of this David & Grace? IF I could only find Grace in a 1900 census it might give up some more clues. I know that she was not in Carbondale with the maiden Trobaugh aunts in the 1900 census. The known children I have for David & Susie Evans are Leah, John & Edward, all of whom survived to adult-hood. Thanks again for your help; we keep chipping away at this mystery. Carol Our life may not always be the party we would have chosen, but while we are here, we may as well dance!
