Hi Elisha, Can you give names and dates on your Evans' in Decatur Co.? Also, are they connected to your Leard surname? The reason I ask is that I have come across the Leard name used as a given name in my Evens and Still lines in Decatur and Perry Counties and wonder if there might be a connection. My Evens line stopped off in Major County, OK and I believe that part of that line might still be in the area. Thanks, Paula Evens DeGraf (ps my family also uses the Evans spelling) At 08:55 PM 8/8/00, you wrote: >hello- just wanted to take a moment & re-post my surnames : > > Benton- Kelly, Kelley > Carroll- Pritchard, Kelly, Kelley >Decatur- Faulkner,Folkner, Hays, Ballinger, Evans >Henderson- Essary, Evans, Hays, Lindsey > >Sorry for any multiple postings :) > >Thanks!! > >Elisha Leard >Guthrie, Oklahoma
