Thank you so much. This is more information than I could have ever ask for. I found Ellen Mapes in the 1880 cenus in CO with Daniel Evans who lived with her in the 1860 census and I wondered if he was related and he must have been since her name was Evans. Her daughter Amanda was my gggrandmother. She and Frank Willis moved to Peoria and had my great-grandfather in 1870. Thank you again.
