Need Lookup, Philip/James Evans, c. 1840-60
I'm trying to sort out an Evans problem; in the 1850 Census a James Evans was living in Spring Creek Township next to Philip Evans.I think he was Philip's son, but cannot locate any records of the two other than Census records.The 1840 Census shows six sons, probably including James.In 1860 and 1870 James lived in Porter County, Indiana.Philip seems to have died about 1861, leaving some estate records.I'm hoping that these records might provide a list of his children.Also, I can't find a marriage record for James.His wife's name appears to have been Mary Eleanor.Anything that would tend to tie James to Philip would be extremely useful.I don't suppose there's a Miami County history that mentions Philip or his family?
