"I need some help from all of those who have info on the Evans family. I'm going to start with the large family connected to Elijah Evans.

ELIJAH EVANS, was born 1752 in Powell's Fort Valley, Shenandoah Co, VA, and died February 25, 1799 in Shenandoah Co, VA. He married SUSANNAH.

He was listed on the 1783 tax list

Gary Finckel Database has his Will: Elijah Evans Will of 1799 mentions wife Susanna, sons David, Samuel, James, John and daughters Susanna, Mary, Margot (or Margaret) and Cloeve (spelling may be wrong on this one) who was only left one dollar for her disobedience.

EVANS, Elijah

99a 1792

76a 1794

Children of ELIJAH EVANS and SUSANNAH are:

DAVID EVANS.

JAMES EVANS

SAMUEL EVANS.

SUSANNAH EVANS

MARY EVANS

MARGOT EVANS

CLOEVE EVANS

JOHN EVANS

Most of Elijah and Susannah's children left Shenandoah County.

Many questions on Elijah Evans. Would like a better birth date on him. Where is he buried? A good marriage date and place. Susannah's Sir name. Susannah's B/D and places and where she is buried.

"General Notes:

Date: Thu, 04 Mar 1999 18:02:45 -0500 From: Annie Jo Gardner <ajggar@mindspring.com> Dear Ann,

• My husband is a descendant of Elijah and Susannah Evans of Shenandoah County, Virginia, through their son, James Evans.

This James Evans had a sister, Susannah who married Thomas Winters/Winders in 1800 in Shenandoah County, VA. A third sibling was David Evans who married Nancy Blizzard Smith in 1804 in Shenandoah County, VA, and then moved to Muskingham County, Ohio. I am suspicious that Susannah and her husband, Thomas Winters/Winders moved to Ohio with David Evans and his family, but I have no proof.

The Evans family of Shenandoah County, VA lived in the Powells Fort Valley area of the county among a lot of people of German descent, yet Evans is a Welsh name.

I have not done any research in original records in Ohio but have quite a bit of secondary information on David Evans and his family, plus lots of info on the Evans family. I am sorry that I can not provide a link for you to your Winder family but maybe someday we can find the answers.

Thank you for writing to me. Sincerely, A.J. Gardner."
