I am looking for Mary Ann Van Ness(Evans), listed in the the 1850 Laudedale,AL census as 'Mary Veness'(age 36,b. in KY). The 1840 Franklin County,AL census lists her as 'Ann Vanniss'. She died around 1854, but I don't know where. I am also looking for Allen Evans, listed in the Franklin County, AL census in 1830(age 40-50) and 1840(age 50-60), but not 1850. He has 8 kids, only one(possibly) of which seem to be around for the 1850 census. One of the females of Mary Ann's age is missing in the 1840 census. I am also looking for another Allen Evans, possibly born about 1840, who is listed in Roddy's Cavalry with Mary Ann's son, George Henry Clay Van Ness. George Henry Clay Van Ness was born in Florence, AL 1839. GHC, in Roddy's Cavalry, was captured and transferred to Ohio where he remained after release. He was a licensed pilot(boat) on the Ohio, Mississippi, and Tennesee Rivers after the war. I have a family document that claims that GHC talked about a cousin 'Allen Evans' in Tennessee. I am assuming that this Allen Evans lived near the Tennesse River in order for them to keep in touch, but I must admit I don't really know. There is also an Allen Evans Van Ness as one of the children of GHC. I have seen the Allen B. Evans of Wayne County and I don't think that the dates match up to correctly. I have seen this page listing a second Allen Evans in Wayne County: http://www.netease.net/wayne/anbasee.htm I am very interested in this contacting this person, but she seems to have moved. If anyone knows how to contact Patricia E. McNab, please let me know. Charlie p.s. I am sending this to multiple lists, so I apologize if you get this twice.
On the Wayne County 1860 census I find some of my relatives. Eliza Dandridge, daughter, Sarah Galloway and brother, Isaac Leetch. Eliza's brother James M. Galloway was a Cumberland Presbyterian Minister (probably itenirant.. By 1870 Eliza and daughter back in Maury County, TN from whence they moved. Isaac is deceased. And, James M. Galloway no where to be found. Can you help me find him?
