My paternal grandmother was Pansy EVANS born in Western, Ottertail County, MN in 1884. Pansy�s parents were: William B.C. EVANS and Dorcas CROSBY married in New Auburn, McLeod County, MN in 1867. They had 12 children: Wallace, Harry, George, Roy, Fred, William, Carl, Robert, Pearl, Pansy, Lee, and Daisy. They were all born in MN. The generations before William B.C. EVANS are quite a challenge to research. Evidently, William never mentioned his parents to his children. We have found that his father was Wright EVANS born in 1813 in Chesterfield County, VA. Wright is located in Baltimore, MD in the 1840 census, his wife was Margaret, and son William was born in Baltimore, MD in 1842. Wright died in 1845 and is buried in Blandford Cemetery, Dinwiddie County, VA. Shortly after Wright�s death, William�s grandmother (not sure if that is maternal or paternal) relocated to MN where William grew up. We have not been able to locate his mother. Wright EVANS� parents were Isham and Elizabeth EVANS. I found an Isham EVANS in the 1830 and 1840 Dinwiddie County, VA census records, but have been able to find no other information about him.
