Mary: let me dig out what EVANS information I have next week and post it. Maybe it may help both of us.

My Evans was associated with Evans Landing in Grand Tower and he had a merchant business in Grand Tower as well called Evans and Son. His son from his first marriage, Marshall A. Evans, took over the business when James passed away. If you find a connection let me know. Right now, I don't have any Baseden (or anything close) in my family file.

Where was the Liberty Post Office that is listed on the 1860 census. I'm assuming it was somewhere around Grand Tower as the census information indicates the family is living in Township 10 Range 3 West would have been around the Grand Tower and Pomona Townships. Mary Riseling Springfield, IL
