    1. [WVRALEIG] Evans Family
    2. Hi All, I am looking for any information at all about my great grandparents on my father's side. It seems as if they never existed! Other than a couple of graves and a few pictures I am at a loss. Surely someone in Raleigh County knew of them. Anything, no matter how trivial it may seem, would be great. They are John William Evans, 1870-1930, buried in Estep Cemetery & Molly Arminta Elkins, 1883-1962, also in Estep Cemetery. They were married March 29, 1902. They had 11 children. Myrtle, Pearl, Maudie, Beulah, John, Lonnie, Alonza, Charles, Carl, Andrew & Harry. John also had two children from a previous marriage, Mary & Thomas. I think his first wife was Ona Davis. I am told that Molly, always refereed to in the family as "Miss Elkins", last lived in Whitesville. In fact the house has been pointed out to me several times. John was born in Jamestown TN & Molly in Wyoming Co. WV. John's parents are Samuel Evans & Mary Catherine Davis. Molly's being Edward Emerson "Ed" Elkins & Nancy Beaulah Belle Fortner. I have had a little success on the Elkins side. But the Evans side seems to be a black hole! Any help would be very much appreciated. One last thing, thanks to all that have helped me in the past from this list. I have learned so much about the family from you. Regards, Jeff Evans
