Biography
I've studied my family history for over 50 years. I enjoy reading the original historical records. Still, even after all this time, I have two unresolved brick walls: James Finley, who married Mary Ann Skelton in Lowndes County, MS, 1846, and Francis A. Evans, b. abt. 1829, TN, Father born in SC.
The final proof that the Richard Duke(s) was the father of my Moses Duke came when I discovered the circa 1902 Dawes Commision testimony of Elizabeth Duke Foster's grandson (MCR-3037) among the testimonies of many other Duke/Foster family members. Part of the Duke/Foster family tried to enroll in the Choctaw Nation during the Dawes Hearings. They were refused, but the trial left a genealogical treasure trove of testimony.
The most important thing I learned in my genealogical studies: False data has a longer lifetime than true data.

And looking at your tags... I just did a ton of work on an Owen Evan family group (centered around Owen-1360)... Quakers, but not yours, apparently, which seem to be centered on Evans-3488 (in case you hadn't found that profile yet).
Cheers, Liz

PS Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile. The links will work from there.
Our GEDCOM process is a bit different than what might be used to on other sites. We have some great help pages to make your experience go more smoothly:
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:GEDCOMpare
[ https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Uploading_vs._Importing Uploading_vs._Importing]] [GEDCOMpare] [Splitting_a_GEDCOM] If you have any questions about your GEDCOM or our process, you can contact our [GEDCOM_Manager] for assistance.
I notice you have not amended your tags, to someone outside of the united states they make little sense which is why I requested that you amended them.

I noticed that you have the same line of Coxes that my mother and I do. I ran the GEDcompare tool and you and my mother share a 8 cM match on the 6th chromosome. I guess we're distant cousins.
