Dear List, I am seeking information on Eva Jane Evans, b. @ 1851/1852 AL who married Thomas Monroe Johnson on 5 Sept. 1869 in Texas Co. MO. Thomas and "Eva" show on the 1870 Texas Co. MO census, pg. 473. Thomas Monroe was s/o Francis Justice Johnson & wife, Nancy Clark. But, who is Eva Jane Evans? When you check the 1860 census for Phelps County, there is a John P. Evans and wife, Sarah (Gay). They have migrated to the Spring Creek area from Jackson Co. AL (1850) to Hopkins Co. TX (1860) and on to Phelps Co. MO by 1870. In the 1860 census, there is a child, Jane Evans, age 8, b. AL in the HH of John P. Evans. She is not in the Evans HH in 1870 census. I believe this young wife of Thomas Monroe Johnson is a d/o John P. Evans. There are other marriages between these two extended Johnson and Evans families. Does anybody out there have any information on Eva Jane Evans? Does anybody know her burial spot? She must have died as Thomas remarried to Felissa Davidson on 17 Aug 1873. Thomas & Felissa migrate to Grayson Co. TX by 1880 census. Always willing to exc. info to benefit each researcher. Regards, Judy in TX
