    3. Seeking information on the following for Virginia/West Virginia: Caleb Evans and wife, Eve Wadel, settled in Hampshire County, VA(now in WV) circa 1800. They had sons Alexander, Abel, David and Peter and unknown daughters. In the 1830's Caleb and Eve moved to Ohio to live with one of the daughters. Sons remained in Virginia. Where was Caleb from? Who were his parents? Who were his siblings? Around 1810, a Benjamin Evans settled near Caleb in Hampshire County. He was married to Priscilla Bosley (may have been a common-law marriage). Their children were: Abraham, Jacob, Edward (aka Ned), Nancy and Elinor. By 1830, Benjamin and Priscilla were living in Hardy County, VA (now WV) and remained there until their deaths in the late 1860's. Benjamin stated on 1850 census he was born in PA in 1778. Where was Benjamin from? Who were his parents? Who were his siblings? Was he related to Caleb? Thanks...Mike Foreman
