General Notes: Husband - John Franklin Kelso
John Franklin Kelso was born in 1822 in Maury County, Tennessee, his father, Joseph Garrison Kelso, was 38 and his mother, Anna Rose Collins Kelso, was 31.
He married Henrietta Etheridge 1828-1871 and their children are James Joseph Kelso 1850-1928, Ophelia D. Kelso 1852 - 1932, Alice Collins Kelso 1855 - 1896, Martha Lenora (Mattie) Kelso 1857 - 1937, Richard Hill (Dick) Kelso 1860 - 1929, Annie A. Kelso 1863 - 1910, John Franklin Kelso 1866 - 1888, and Margaret (Maggie) C. Kelso 1871 - 1920.
Henrietta Etheridge Kelso died in 1871 and he married the Widow Margueritte A. Simmons Thompson 1843-1927. He died on November 1, 1877 in Haywood County, Tennessee, at the age of 55, and was buried in Hillville, Tennessee.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Moved to Haywood County from Maury County at age eleven with a deed filed in his name (Haywood County, Deed Book R, Page 91, Land Grant #307, October 18, 1833). He was a farmer and owned adjoining his brother William Stephen Kelso whose daughter Annie Sydney Kelso's 1881 diary recorded a complete description of the life of these two families.
The Harmony Baptist Church gave John and Henrietta a "church letter" (Church Minute Book I) in October 1860 and reinstated it in 1866. On the same day in 1866, the Etheridge and Powell families were given letters too. According to Virginia Naylor Smith, these families were in Texas during the missing six year period. This would buttress my assumption that the "Bomont" mentioned in Henrietta's letter is actually Beaumont,Texas.
John's service in Texas during the Civil War has no official record. However, his second wife's pension application (#6252) was rejected until Margaret Etheridge Powell (Henriett's sister) gave testimony of John's service in the same company with her husband. His grandson, John F. Kelso, tells of his grandfather being a spy and carrying a money belt full of gold, buying cotton and hiding it in a ditch from the Yankees.

Dec 4th, 1863
My Dear husband [John Kelso], I received two letters from you yesterday evening. This is the third one that I have written to you. We are all well. I was glad to hear that you was well. I wish you was nearer home so if you get sick I could come to you if you could not come home.
O my dear, you have no idea how bad I want to see you. Do try and come this Christmas. I know when you set your head to do anything, you are very apt to go through with it so go to it and do your best. I shall look for you. I dream nearly every night that you have come home and how I [?hug?] and kiss you, but when I wake I find it false. Do not think hard of me for pursuading you to come home for I can't help it.
We have got up all of the hogs except one. They penned them at Mrs. (?Cackeys?) and he got out. I think we can get him. They are large fine hogs plenty of fat for pork. We killed four today. They weighted 122, 135, 166 and 182. I shall kill the others soon I could not get but three hundred lbs of salt.
The Yankeys are coming in. I suppose they are within a hundred and fifty miles of us here. Nearly all of the men are going - old and young. Cousin Jim Powell will start tomorrow. My dear, I think you had better come home to fight. Brother John expects to move to Major Testers; he could not get a place anywhere else. And Par will be away over yonder.
O I shall feel so lonely if the Yankeys get here. I am afraid they will burn everything we have. They have hired the Mexicans to help them. They are so cruel; they say they are murdering women and children out West.
Mr. Crow Weldon and Rabb started this week. I do not know of where they are going. Mrs. Rabb sent her _______ to me this evening. It was thirty six dollars. She said if I did not pay it off immediately she would not take confederate money. I have not money enough. I shall have to borrow some. I have not sold any corn yet. I will see Mr. Sea about paying the rent.
I am glad you have swapped off your horse and got a gentle one. Jimmy cried when I told him of it. Mr. Dicky is married to Harry Strambler's widow. Shall I continue to direct my letters to Bomont? [?Beaumont, TX?] Write to me exactly how to direct and you will be more apt to get them. I will send your pants and the coffee. If you get sick, come home if you possible can. Little Anna is fat, sweet and pretty. It is late, the children are all asleep. So goodbye my darling for the present,
Henrietta [Etheridge] Kelso

BIRTH: Book "The Descendants of Major Jacob Haysmith Hydrick 1819-1903" by Onan Augustus Hydrick.
Reported to have come to America soon after his birth with his family in 1790.
1790 Census: "There were in his family, 2 males of 16 years or over (one of which was head of household); 3 males under 16 years of age, and 2 females.
IMMIGRATED: came to America before 1790. Found in SC 1790 Census; 1800 Census, Edgefield, SC; and 1810 Census in Orangeburg, SC.
He and Betsie were early members of the Tabernacle Church and later Bethcar Baptist Church. (An Elizabeth Evans was dismissed brom Tabernacle Church in 1885):
~~~source: http://www.intersurf.com/~bevans/My%20Ancestors/d539.htm (NOTE: link no longer works-DMH)
**Some records record him as Jacob Haysmith Hydrick, Sr giving the source as the Bible of A. J. Hydrick Sr which was in the possession of Onan Hydrick who wrote "The Descendants of Major Jacob Haysmith Hydrick 1819-1903". This could be the definitive source for assigning this middle name to Jacob (who Annie Odessa Hydrick in her book "Old Big Grandma..." refers to as Jacob Jr with no middle name).
An excerpt from a letter written to Odessa Hydrick from Onan Augustus mentions the Bible thusly:

The State of SC
To the Honorable the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
The memorial of the undersigned citizens of Lexington and Orangeburg District do willfully Sheweth, that at the last session of the Legislature, an application was made by the SC Canal and Rail-Road Company, to allow them to increase the rate of passengers and transportation on the said road, from 5 cents per mile to 7 cent per mile on passengers, and from thirty four cents for every one hundred miles to fifty cents per hundred or, Muchaualg Near de- mau ding an increase of fifty per cent on the rates allowance by the charter of incorporation - which application was granted.
Your memorialists further shew that unto your Honorable Body, that hey Hold(sp?) the application in truly gratuiton and unwapany (sp?) - not only prejudicial so the best interests of the Company, but a breach of faith with the people thumells (sp?), who have made a living just of shwent of land, and affording other facilities in the commencement, and during the people of the in tumfion (sp?) -which application, for these and others was ours which your memorialists are furfraud t tubmilk, ought not in the opinions to have been granted.
That the application to maicase the rates of passengers on the Rail-Road in un company , your memorialists are convinced from the fact , that 5 cents per mile for passengers is a high a rate to be collected on any Rail-Road in the United States or else where, as they are informed, and they can divulge no way on why stockholders in Rail Road Company in SC should not be satisfied with such rates are one allowed, and such profits are one made upon Rail-Road in other parts of the country.
That the increase in the rates in prejudicial to the best of the company, your Memorialists do not doubt , on the increase of passengers Money have already destroyed in a grant many use upon the line of Road public confidence in the Company not the success of the application, will embolder them to further exaction until the passengers on the Road will amount to many or entire prohibition. From the inducement held out by the Company, all traveling, and all in a great massive been abandoned by your Memorialists, and if the present rates are continued , they must return at an increased expense to the old modes or travel and transportation of their to produce to market.
Your Memorialists also believe that the Company, By thus increasing the rate of passengers will drive many from some traveling from the west, from their own Road is the own dulu (sp?) commenced traveling from the city of Savannah to the Alabama line.
When the South Carolina Canal and Rail Road Company was incorporated, many firmly(sp?) men granted to them by you Honorable Body, and the inhabitants of the country through which the Road was to pray(sp?), made rebring requishments (sp?) of their lands and mispaud (sp?) to submit to all the inconveniences, which a geat thoroghfare like the Rail Road , in the vicinity would occasion with the expectation which was held out to them, that the convenience of the Road Chiapung(sp?) of traveling of would fully counter balance nay exclude and infury(sp?). They would incur from its passengers. But in that uaron able hope they have been dir affinated (sp?) and the present rates will put it out of power of a great many of them to ride the road or a general means of traveling. They came(sp?) by the old road of travel from portation(sp?), which made their markets much cheaper than by the Rail-Road at the rate the Company has been allowed to impose.
Your Memorialists that ? from may your Honorable Body to repeal the law of last Session, allowing the SC Canal & Rail Road Company to increase the rates of passengers of transportation, and compel them to raise due (sp?) the same to the rate allowed by their Charter of Incorporation.

Overview of 50th AL Inf:
50th Infantry Regiment was organized in Corinth, Mississippi, in March, 1862, by consolidating the 2nd and 5th (Golladay's) Alabama Infantry Battalions which were recently recruited. Originally mustered into Confederate service as the 26th (Coltart's) Regiment, its designation was changed to 50th in June, 1863.
The men were raised in the counties of Calhoun, Jackson, Lauderdale, Blount, Limestone, Walker, Fayette, and Tuscaloosa. Ordered to Tennessee the unit fought at Shiloh, saw light action in Kentucky, then was placed in Deas', G.D. Johnston's and Brantley's Brigade, Army of Tennessee, and was active in North Carolina. At Shiloh the regiment had 440 effectives, but because of casualties, sickness,and exhaustion, the number was less than 150 by the second day. It lost 4 killed and 76 wounded at Murfreesboro, 16 killed and 81 wounded at Chickamauga, and totalled 289 men and 180 arms in December, 1863. The unit sustained 33 casualties in the Battle of Atlanta and was badly cut up at Franklin. Few surrendered in April, 1865. Its commanders were Colonel John C. Coltart, Lieutenant Colonels G.W. Arnold and William D. Cradick, and Majors T.H. Gilbert and John C. Hutto.

Gideon Evans (1783-1873), my great-grandfather's older brother, died of pneumonia after "in true Evans spirit, at the age of 90, undeterred by a rare accumulation of snow, he rode his horse up to visit daughter Cynthia Plunkett (about 15 miles)." He had been a Captain in the Civil War, a Justice of Peace, Justice of the Quorum, and member of the SC State House of Representatives.
His land holdings along the South Edisto River exceeded 20,000 acres. (R. Maxcy Foxworth, Jr.; Rt 2, Box 685; Marion, SC 29571)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
below from : http://www.intersurf.com/~bevans/My%20Ancestors/d539.htm
1841: Gideon acquired 1575 more acres on Cedar Creek.
1848: Elected to House of Representatives, State of SC; served until 1849.
1849: He acquired 5751 acres on Shaw's Creek, which is branches off the Edisto River. Apparently a dispute about this land developed later. An original document in the Orangeburg Historical Office (in 1995) is recorded ad "Weeks & Evans dispute land on Edisto, White Pond Rd, & on Shaw Creek adj Mc ? Williams Land (undated)." (But 6/83 is written on bottom; see copy in E32 File)
1850: The census of Barnwell District taken 24 September lists Gideon Evans, aged 65, with Real Estate valued at 8000 on Saluda. Also: Mary, aged 58, Cynthia, 30; Martha aged 20. Living with them were both mothers: Phoebe Evans, aged 85, and Lucretia Weeks, aged 82. All born in SC. (Note: these ages of daughters are inconsistent with other family information).
1859: Gideon acquired 890 more acres of land on Shaw's Creek.
1864: Gideon sold 881 acres on the Edisto River and Willow Swamp to his son Andrew Jackson Evans, for $8,000; originally purchased from Elisha Tyler. 1867: Orangeburg County Deeds 1865-1902 include: Gideon Evans to A.J. Evans. 1873: On January 10, Gideon moved his church letter to Tabernacle Baptist Church.
1873: On March 10 he purchased 200 acres of land on the East Side of Willow Swamp (bordered by Samuel Dibble, James W. Reed, P.W. Garrick, and Catherine Rowell) from A. J. Evans for $2,000. (This A.J. may be his son, Andrew Jackson Evans, born in 1818.) The original of this deed was found in the Orangeburg Historical Office and copied by Bruce Evans in March, 1995. Copy is in E32 file.
Gideon Evans died later that year on December 31. "Capt. Gideon Evans: planter and timberman with land holdings along the South Edisto River exceeding 20,000 acres; shipped lumber, and rafted logs down the river, to Charleston; home and all provisions and lumber stock destroyed by Sherman's army (site now Aiken County State Park; Justice of Peace; Justice of the Quorum; SC State House of Representatives. In true Evans spirit, at the age of 90, undeterred by a rare accumulation of snow, he rode his horse up to visit daughter Cynthia Plunkett (about 15 miles). He developed pheumonia and died, and was buried in the Plunkett family graveyard on a bluff at Merritt's Bridge on the South Edisto River, but the grave was never permanently marked." R. Maxcy Foxworth, Jr. (Rt 2, Box 685; Marion, SC 29571)
1895: Orangeburg County Deeds, 1865-1902 lists: Gideon P. Etal to Wm. W. Evans. (This is Gideon's second child? probably born in 1810)

General Notes: Wife - Elizabeth H. Tarrant
All that a friend shall say in tribute to the memory of MRS. ELIZABETH H. EVANS will find echoes in the hearts of many over whom she always seemed an angel of love, sympath; and a great help in hours of sorrow and need. She was indeed a sweet " mother in Israel, " to all with whom she came in contact a sunlight of hope and encouragement were her closest companions.
Herself a model mother, she always manifested a deep and true interest in the families about her. Numbers of her acquaintances feel that they are happy mothers by her watchful care, experience and tenderness. She was called to homes of affliction and sorrow in all sections of Aiken county, and her reputation extended to adjoining counties. She was uniformly upright, ladyly and affectionate. I am sure that she had never an enemy here, while I am confident that few women made so many lasting friends.
Mother Elizabeth, our friend is gone. We shall never again here those gentle tones of generous sympathy. She will no more " weep with those who weep, " or " rejoice with those who rejoice." True she has gone; but her virtues are enshrined in the affections and hallowed in the memories of all who knew her. The feeling that such a friend is not lost to us, but that our pleasant intercourse is only suspended, a feeling that comes to our relief precisely when it is most needed - that is, when all earthly resources fail us - is, it seems to me, one of the most precious of the boons which the Gospel offers us in this world. God has done all that is needful! He has taken a dear soul to himself.
The departed one was a daughter of Dr. Jas. W. Tarrant, of Barnwell county, born December, 15, 1831, and died on her birthday December 15, 1898, and within 15 minutes of her birth hour. She was the wife of Capt. R. L. Evans, and mother of fifteen children. Her husband and several sons and daughters survive to mourn their great loss. Rev. W. E. Johnson married a daughter of the deceased mother.
She was a consistent member of the Windsor Baptist church, and in the peaceful calm of a winter afternoon, her body was borne to its last resting place in the shadow of the temple of God, and there lies buried one of God's true " mothers of Israel, " with sure and certain hope of resurrection unto eternal life. " A holy quiet reigns around- A calm which life nor death destroys; And naught disturbs that peace profound Which her unfettered soul enjoys. "

General Notes: Husband - William (John) Evans
May have been named John. In his granddaughter, Nancy Evans Peterson's, diary she sometimes wrote "William Evans" for her grandfather, but then crossed it out and wrote "John" over it. In 1924, she clearly writes: "on my fathers side William Evans came from Scotland Scotch Irish & maried Miss Febie Kitchens" 1700's: The Evans's "came to America from Scotland with 3 brothers. John settled in Barnwell County, SC. Two of the other brothers are believed to have settled in Georgia, around Augusta; the other, somewhere in Virginia." (This is the Martin Evans family version.) Another version received by Nan Frick from a Mr. Earhorn, postmaster of Sunbright, TN is: "4 brothers by name of Evans came from Scotland and settled 1 in Barnwell, 1 in Spartanburg. One in Barnwell was named William and was in Rev. War and died of wound in leg; married a Phoby Kitchins; had sons Gidian, Mathew, John, Martin; daughters Betsie, Casandra, Nancy, Pollie; were members of Old Tabernacle Church in Edisto.")
1718: Orangeburgh District History: "Most of these pioneers established their dwellings in the vicinity of Amelia along the Congaree and Santee rivers. The first settler in this vast expanse was Henry Sterling, supposedly an Indian trader, who established his dwelling on Lyons Creek in 1704. Capt. Charles Russell, a native of Massachusetts, was in command of a fort at the Congarees in 1718. Among the first soldiers at the fort were Edward Darlsley, Ralph Dayton, and John Evans." (Bib. # 1, p 1-2)
1785: Oct 14, a William Evans is listed in 1784-88 Plat Books of Lower Parts of Old Ninety Six District, Book B, page 75, as owning 500 acres on Back Swamp of Beach Island. (Note: this would probably be the section which became Edgefield County in 1785). The only other Evans listed is Nathan, with 70 acres on Horn's Creek. 1785: Barnwell County Plat Index lists these plats by William Evans, also surveyed by William Evans: 620 acres by William Dyas, and 330 acres by Benj. Waring.
1787: A William Evans real estate deed to John Dick is recorded in Edgefield Co. Records (Page 275, Book 3) Also "Minutes of County Court" for this year note "Deeds of lease and release from Benj Harris for 260 acres of land to William Evans was proved on the oath of Casper Neal..."
1788: Edgefield Co., Minutes of County Court 1785-95 include: "We present William Evans of Beach Island for frequently abusing his wife by information of David Zubby; ordered that William Evans give security to keep the peace towards his wife."
1789: On Sep 1, William Evans "D.S." (District or Deputy Surveyor?) "of Ninety Six Dist." sold 346 acres of land "in Beech Island" for 200 pounds to John Dick of Orangeburg Dist. (Recorded in Deed Book 3: 1787-1789)
1790: A William Evans bought 640 acres from John Richardson in Edgefield County. 1790: First census of SC lists 8 John Evans'. Census of Orangeburgh District, which became Barnwell County in 1794: "John Evans, 1 male over 16; 1 male under 16; 2 females; 4 slaves." A John Evins is listed with 1 free white male 16+ yrs; 2 free white males under 16, 1 free white female, and 8 slaves. Edgefield County in the Ninety Six District included William, Batt, Isaac, and William Evans. The first Wm. Evans family included 2 males over 16, 4 under 16, 5 females, and 18 slaves; Batt Evans family included 1 male over 16, 3 under 16, 2 females; Isaac Evans family had 1 male over 16, 2 under 16, 4 females, and 1 slave; the last William Evans family included 1 male over 16 and 1 female. No Kitchens family was listed in either District. In all SC there were 52 Evans families listed, including 8 John Evans'. (If either of these William Evans' is my ancestor, it would have to be the first, since we know that son Gideon and daughter Elizabeth were born before 1790. The second family would only be a husband and wife. The four males under 16 may have included Gideon and perhaps James, John, and Matthew. The 5 females must have included wife Phoebe, and daughters Elizabeth, Mary, Beda, Rachel, and Sarah (or Cassandra or Nancy). No information is available on any of their birth dates. Of course there could have been other relatives or friends living with the family, especially since they were apparently prosperous, given the noted land sales and the 18 slaves.
1791: A William Evans real estate deed in Edgefield Co., to William Shinholser, is recorded in Book 6, p 332. 1791: On Dec 3, 1791, a plat was recorded, certifying "for William Evans a tract of land containing 158 acres (surveyed for him the 2 day of May 1791) situated in the District of Orangeburgh..." Plat (see copy in file) is South of Shaws Creek, with swamp in North corner.

1792: April 2; "William Evans, Dept. Surv. of Edgefield Co, SC" sold 240 acres in New Windsor, Edgefield Co. to William Shinholser, "Planter of same place for 100 pounds..."
1792: May 21: From Edgefield County SC Abstracts of Deed Books 1-12, Vol 1, 1985: Deed of Gift: William Evans Planter of Edgefield Co.,C to my loving son and daughter William & Ann Evans...to son William:horse, bridel, mare, bull, cow & calf, 3 volumes of Mr Wesley's works, 1 testament....to daughter Ann: I feather bed, bedding, 1 pot and hook, 1 dutch oven....the condition is the use of above until the children come of age. Note: This William Evans must not be our ancestor since we know of no William and Ann as his children.
1792: June 2: Plat filed certifying "for William Evans a tract containing 2000 acres surveyed 1 March 1792 situated in the District of Orangeburgh on Waters of Shaws Creek." Also a second play dated June, 1792, for 3876 acres "situated on both sides of Cedar...(missing part) head Springs and hollows thereof..." (See copy of both plats taken from SC Archives in Columbia 3/95 in file) This same year William Evans sold land to William Shinholker. Note: Cedar Creek branches off from Shaws Creek, both in upper NW corner of what became Barnwell County (from Orangeburgh District) in 1800. This land is adjacent to Edgefield County.
1792: A William Evans real estate deed to Wm. & Ann Evans is recorded in Bk 7, p.37. Also one to Casper Nail, Jr on pg 210.

The covenant adopted was very strong, declaring, among other things their purpose "to live together as becometh the Church of Christ, to take the Holy Scriptures as their rule of life, to bear with each other's weaknesses, not to be indulgent of the sins of each other and not to forsake the assembling for worship." Negroes were received into the church and dismissed by letter or excommunicated (as were whites also). Church discipline was faithfully observed and such offenses as drunkenness, profanity, non-attendance severely dealt with: "Elias Hallman charges church with unorthodox discipline, refuses to commune." Members in open conference preferred charges against each other, for example, "an extra conference called to consider charges made by Sister Della McGraw against some members of the church." "Member of Rocky Springs complains that a member of Tabernacle sued him at law." "J.W. Brodie reported Jack Martin (a colored Brother) for drunkenness and profanity. Jack being present denies the charge and case postponed." At a later conference Jack "being present and expressing godly sorrow was forgiven." Still later Jack "reports himself for another offence of drunkenness, expresses godly sorrow and is forgiven." (Above from 1930 Centennial Exercises) The following excerpts were copied by Bruce Evans from the original church records in possession of the present church clerk, a Mr. Gunter, in July, 1992. The Articles to Rules of Conduct on first page of old record book include: "to contribute; not to be absent from conference for 2 meetings; to report any brother who does not comply; "9th -- That we as a church will suppress drunkeness, profanity, dancing or any other immorality among our members. 10th -- That the habitual use of intoxicating liquer as a beverage be forbidden among our members. Rules of Decorum include: "No member shall have the liberty of laughing during the setting nor whispering during the time of public speach." S. B. Sawyer succeeded William Broker as pastor Dec 1, 1855. He served one or two years, the record is not clear on account of a break in the records from Dec 1, 1855 to June 30, 1860 and was succeeded by Hiram LeCroy in 1858 probably...who preached first sermon in new building June 4, 1862 (this is the present building in 1992; clerk told me they had rafted logs to Charleston to be sawed and brought them back by train for building the church)

Gideon Evans (1783-1873), my great-grandfather's older brother, died of pneumonia after "in true Evans spirit, at the age of 90, undeterred by a rare accumulation of snow, he rode his horse up to visit daughter Cynthia Plunkett (about 15 miles)." He had been a Captain in the Civil War, a Justice of Peace, Justice of the Quorum, and member of the SC State House of Representatives.
His land holdings along the South Edisto River exceeded 20,000 acres. (R. Maxcy Foxworth, Jr.; Rt 2, Box 685; Marion, SC 29571)

1848: Elected to House of Representatives, State of SC; served until 1849.
1849: He acquired 5751 acres on Shaw's Creek, which is branches off the Edisto River. Apparently a dispute about this land developed later. An original document in the Orangeburg Historical Office (in 1995) is recorded ad "Weeks & Evans dispute land on Edisto, White Pond Rd, & on Shaw Creek adj Mc ? Williams Land (undated)." (But 6/83 is written on bottom; see copy in E32 File)
1850: The census of Barnwell District taken 24 September lists Gideon Evans, aged 65, with Real Estate valued at 8000 on Saluda. Also: Mary, aged 58, Cynthia, 30; Martha aged 20. Living with them were both mothers: Phoebe Evans, aged 85, and Lucretia Weeks, aged 82. All born in SC. (Note: these ages of daughters are inconsistent with other family information).
1859: Gideon acquired 890 more acres of land on Shaw's Creek.
1864: Gideon sold 881 acres on the Edisto River and Willow Swamp to his son Andrew Jackson Evans, for $8,000; originally purchased from Elisha Tyler. 1867: Orangeburg County Deeds 1865-1902 include: Gideon Evans to A.J.

(This A.J. may be his son, Andrew Jackson Evans, born in 1818.) The original of this deed was found in the Orangeburg Historical Office and copied by Bruce Evans in March, 1995. Copy is in E32 file.
Gideon Evans died later that year on December 31. "Capt. Gideon Evans: planter and timberman with land holdings along the South Edisto River exceeding 20,000 acres; shipped lumber, and rafted logs down the river, to Charleston; home and all provisions and lumber stock destroyed by Sherman's army (site now Aiken County State Park; Justice of Peace; Justice of the Quorum; SC State House of Representatives. In true Evans spirit, at the age of 90, undeterred by a rare accumulation of snow, he rode his horse up to visit daughter Cynthia Plunkett (about 15 miles). He developed pheumonia and died, and was buried in the Plunkett family graveyard on a bluff at Merritt's Bridge on the South Edisto River, but the grave was never permanently marked." R.

1895: Orangeburg County Deeds, 1865-1902 lists: Gideon P. Etal to Wm. W. Evans. (This is Gideon's second child? probably born in 1810)

General Notes: Child - Matthew EVANS
Find A Grave shows his father as being Gideon Evans but I agree that he was the son of William, and the grandson of Gideon)
(special thanks to David Fox for the following info) - Matthew is the son of Gideon Evans (#67046629) and Mary Weeks. He married Nancy (maiden name unknown) (#45847642).
(special thanks to visitor, treasuresburied@gmail.com for the following info) I think there might be some question as to who the father of Matthew Evans is. Gideon Evans was the oldest son of William and Pheobe Evans. Gideon had a daughter in March 1808. Either Matthew was a twin or he is the younger brother of Gideon. I have him as a younger brother as William and Pheobe continued to have children even after Matthew. Needs to be check out further and presumed. Would love to know if David Fox had this info in a family Bible or something.
