Richard Evans
written by Catherine Evans Kennedy Hinton
(sister of Mary Ann Kennedy Coleman and granddaughter of Richard & Catherine Evans)
A family record of Richard Evans (b. Jan. 10, 1741 d. Jan 17, 1806) m. 1771 and Catherine McCarter Evans (b. Oct. 9, 1753 D. Aug. 8, 1816)
Note - Catherine Hinton seems to have been the family historian. I am copying from a record she wrote in a composition book. There is another version of this story with the Evans family papers in the Louise Kelly Crowder collection in the manuscript collection of the University of South Carolina. The two records are similar, but not identical. For the sake of brevity I will combine them rather than repeat information. I am also including information on the marriages of the Evans children from Hannah Wylie.
Please see notes in FAMILY FACTS AND FABLES for additional information JZS)
Richard Evans was born Jan. 18, 1741. Catherine McCarter Evans was born Oct. 9, 1753.
