FYI (no relation): I found the following books on Heritage Quest with references to the name Eveleth. Sylvester was a very popular name among them, possibly the founder of the family in America. ----------------------- Jones, William Preble, Four Boston grandparents: Jones and Hill, Preble and Eveleth, and their ancestry. Somerville, Mass., 1930 Names author's maternal grandparents as Sarah Bartlett Eveleth, b May 29, 1817, and Nathaniel Coit Allen Preble, both of New Gloucester, ME (once part of MA). Names Sylvester Eveleth, first baker in Boston; Joseph Eveleth, the Centenarian; Nathaniel the New Gloucester pioneer; Perkins Eveleth (Sarah B.'s father), mentions a letter written by Chas. H. Eveleth in 1929, etc. The ame was once spelled Eveleigh and more anciently, Yeverleigh. ------------------------- Mears, Neal F. A history of the Heverly family : including the spellings Hever, Heverle, Heverley, Everle, Everley, Everleigh, Eveleigh, Evelegh, Eveley, Everly, and Eveleth. Chicago, Ill.: unknown, 1945 This book suggests other spellings of the name. Names Charles Nicholas Eveleigh and George Wyatt Eveleigh as in VA or possibly MD early on. Mentions record of Isaac Eveleth in SC in 1697/8 and names a Samuel or Samuel Henry Eveleigh, b ca 1745. A Charles Eveleigh is said to have participated in the rebellion against King Charles I. Also mentionsa Sylvester Eveleigh. ------------------------ Leonard, Clarence Ettienne, The Fulton-Hayden-Warner ancestry in America. New York: T.A. Wright, 1923 This one nams a Sylvester Eveleth and wife Susannah, son? Joseph, grandson? James, and a Sarah, b. 1765 in CT,and another Sarah b. 1732 in Iswich, MA, among others, including a Sylvester, b. England, d. 1689 in Gloucester, MA. ------------------------ This goes on for 267 (!) books, including one that mentions a town named Eveleth, MN. --- Onefergy@aol.com wrote: > just finished checking the Roll call info from > Bee Bop and so wanted to ask > again if any one else can identify this Eveleth > that she has.
