Rebecca Drake, shown as born abt 1741 is not the wife of Richard Evans, who died before she was born on 10 May 1728. Richard Evans, the only son listed, was born 1670.

I'd note that under "Sources" Richard's listed children were all born between 1670 and 1687.

Since there is no profile manager, I removed Rebecca as his spouse.
