    1. [PAMONVAL] EVANS, MCKEE, POWERS
    2. Greetings from Florida, I am new to the list as of today and in hope that I may be able to find some new cousins on my EVANS line. I found them living in Rstraver Twp., Westmoreland Co. in the 1850 Census : name age occupation place of birth David Evans 39 Miner Wales ??? Rarick 20 do (what is that ?) Pa. Elizabeth 29 Pa. Martha 6 Pa. Sarah E. 4 Pa. David J. 6/12 Pa. My last known generation back is David Evans born (no date) in Wales , profession - miner , who married Elizabeth DOLE b. (no date) Wales. Their daughter, Martha EVANS b. January 01, 1846 Camden, N.J. just after her parents came to America from Wales d. September 05, 1918 Ravenna, Portage Co., Ohio She mar. in McKeesport or near by, David Henry POWERS b. January 31, 1844 Mifflin Twp., Allegheny Co. Pa. d. March 16, 1919 Portage Co. Ohio. Both Martha and David are buried in the MCKEE polt, Section E of the McKeesport Versailles Cem. as David's mother was Julia Ann MCKEE who descends from David McKee b. 1710 Scotland , for whom the town of McKeesport was named. His father's name was William POWERS and that is all I know about his father. I would like to know if anyone is researching this line. My uncle said his mother told him that Martha had two brothers named David and John, one of which came to see her when she was living in New Kensington. I have not been able to get to the library to check the 1860 census , however, in looking at my index CD , there are no listings for David EVANS in Westmoreland Co. I am guessing that they moved sometime in that 10 yr. span to Allegheny Co. where Martha met her husband, David as I see a lisitng in the 1860 census for Mifflin Twp. , Allegheny Co. and that is where David's mother was born ( source- her obit in the McKeesport Daily News) I would apprciate hearing from anyone who may be able to help and esp. if they are from the lines of Martha's brothers or sister Sarah, who I just learned about today. Sincerely, Carol Gilliland St. Pete Beach, FL.
