My gg grandmother was Mary Ellen Evans, born March 14, 1860 in Prospect, NY. She died in Rome, NY on May 25, 1952. She was married to William J. Owens. I have an Evans Family Bible with the following:
John Evans born 2/11/1828
W. Hugh born 3/25/1830
Hannah born 6/20/1835
Daniel born 12/17/1845
Harriet born 8/25/1853
Mary Ellen’s father was reported to be John, although I haven’t been able to verify. (The death certificate lists her parents as “unknown”). The John listed in the Bible may be her father, or may not. I also found a scrap of paper in Mary Ellen’s handwriting (so my mother believes anyway) with the following: “Dear brother Edward died 20 of March, buried Monday 23, 1910” (or 1916, writing is not clear).
Also have a professional photo possibly of John or his father taken in Waupun, Wis. The Evans may have lived there at one time. You don’t usually get a professional photo is you’re just passing through.
So far, the Evans family has been a tough nut to crack. I haven’t been able to find them in the census; I believe the name is too common.
Do any of these names and dates ring a bell with you? Thank you…
Richard Owens
