Notes for THOMAS "JEFFERSON" EVANS,SR:

WAS IN REVOLUTIONARY WAR IN THE VA STATE LINE AS #412. HIS PENSION # IS W923

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One of the most beautiful areas in the United States is located in Southwest Virginia and West Virginia and down into Northeast Tennessee encompassing the area drained by the Powell, Clinch, and Holston Rivers and their tributaries. Those wandering over secondary roads from East to West in this area, ending up at Cumberland Gap will be richly rewarded with the view. Standing in Cumberland Gap and looking to the East you see a rural, forested area and several small towns and villages. Imagine how it looked at the time of the Revolutionary War when the western frontier of Virginia lay along the Appalachian Mountains. The virgin forests, fed by magnificent rivers, stood tall providing cover for a seemingly endless supply of game. American Indians had hunted in this area for centuries, gaining access by a network of trails, also used for trading, from the East Tennessee-West North Carolina area to the land North of the Ohio River. A major part of this trail system passed through this area. Undoubtedly some of our Howertons also appreciated this area as several were living there during the Revolutionary War.

Shortly before the Revolutionary War, John Howerton ( b abt 1750) and his younger brother, William (b 1759) were living in Montgomery County on the western frontier of Virginia. When first formed, Montgomery County encompassed most of the sparsely settled and unsettled area of western Virginia as well as the present state of Kentucky. Both John and William served in that western frontier area as private soldiers of the Virginia Militia during the Revolutionary War. John apparently served as a regular soldier, while William specialized as a "spy". At that time an army "spy" performed the duties of a scout conducting reconnaissance missions similar to today's LRRPs (Long-Range Reconnaissance Patrol) and Force Recon troops. Needless to say, these duties were extremely dangerous and required expert stealthy woodsmen capable of operating alone in a hostile environment, with the stamina and ability to accurately assess and report what was observed and heard.

Except for the Battle of Shallow Ford on Yadkin River where a band of Tories were defeated and possibly the Battle of Guilford County Courthouse, both in North Carolina ; the service of John and William was against Indians, primarily Cherokee.

(NOTE: Documentation has been found indicating the brothers' military unit was at Guilford Courthouse, but it is uncertain whether they were with their unit at the time of the battle. BRH)

Campaigns against the Indians were primitive, hazardous and often barbaric. Wounded, when unable to walk, were unlikely to survive and "walking wounded" were sure to suffer extreme hardship when attempting to return to a frontier fort or to the point where the expedition began.

In the years immediately following the defeat of Cornwallis at Yorktown, the number of settlers on the frontier of Southwest Virginia began to expand. Both John and William Howerton and three sisters: Jane, who married Thomas Evans; Susannah, who married Thomas Alley; and Frances, who married Stephen Jett settled on creeks draining into Big Moccasin Creek.

Attacks upon settlers by Indians increased and small forts were established throughout the area, providing a place of refuge from Indian attacks. Many settlers lived in forts or smaller "fort-houses", which were made of logs and constructed to provide protection against Indians. We know that William Howerton lived on Crabtree Creek, a tributary of Big Moccasin Creek, adjacent to the Frazier and Combs families. Frazier had built a fort in which he resided and whether William's family lived there or just took refuge there during raids has not been determined. It was common for several men to depart the fort and remain together while planting their crops and return to the fort at the end of the day. While this was not the most efficient way of planting, it was by far the safest method. It appears that the families of John, William and their sisters lived in the same vicinity; perhaps, sharing the same fort. After a few years, John, apparently tired of constant Indian depredations, returned to a more thickly settled area of Montgomery County. The number of settlers who were killed or captured by Indians from shortly before the Revolutionary War until 1794 has been estimated at over 3,000 with more than another 1,000 wounded. The most aggressive Indians were the Shawnees and Mingos who infiltrated from the Ohio country to the North by way of low passes in the Cumberlands and the Cherokees who followed streams, trade and war paths from the South. Logan, a Mingo chieftan and Benge, a Cherokee half-breed who became a minor chief were among the most notorious and merciless Indian leaders conducting raids upon individuals and forts in the area. Benge's raiding parties were often accompanied by a renegade white man, named Hargus, who was said to be more cruel and heartless than the Indians. Scouts were chosen from volunteers and usually operated in pairs and in some cases as many as four scouts would form a team. These scouts, including William Howerton and Thomas Evans would range out from the settlements, keeping known routes of Indian invasion under surveillance in hope of providing sufficient warning to enable settlers time to seek refuge in the small forts. The scouts were accustomed to hardship, camped without fires and fired no shots except as a last resort. Of course, the Indians were equally accomplished woodsmen and the mere survival of the scouts is proof of their ability and discipline.

In the Spring of 1777, Benge and a band of followers were discovered in the area of Bluegrass Fort and an Indian was killed. Runners were sent to warn other settlers and pursuit of the Indians was undertaken. In the process, two women, Jane Whittaker and Polly Alley (believed to be a cousin of the husband of Susannah Howerton) were captured by the Indians and taken to their village on the Ohio River. Initially, the women were closely confined but some weeks later were stripped and painted and permitted to wander within the village. After a month or so, they managed a successful escape from the village and after a harrowing journey, closely pursued by the Indians, returned to their homes. At about the same time, Fanny Napper and five children were killed and scalped by Indians near Fort Blackmore. Fanny is believed to have been a sister of Polly Alley, who escaped from the Indians.

On 14 Jul 1786, the family of James Moore, who had commanded a company at the battles of Cowpens, Guilford County, and Kings Mountain during the Revolutionary War, was attacked by a party of 47 Shawnee Indians. The oldest son, James Jr, had gone to the field to get a horse as he intended to go to mill - apparently unknown to his family, he was captured by the Shawnee, Black Wolf and two other Indians and carried to the Shawnee Towns. The main group first killed James Sr; two of his children, William and Rebecca were returning from a spring and were killed. Mrs Moore and Martha Evans barred the door to the house, but the Indians broke through. Martha Evans lifted a loose floor plank and hid under the floor. The Indians captured Mrs Moore and the remaining children, John, Jane, Polly and Peggy, then set the house on fire. Martha soon came from under the house and hid under a log that crossed a branch near the house. An Indian, repairing his gun, came and sat on the log, and thinking he was preparing to shoot her, Martha came out and was taken captive. The group then began the trip to the Indian towns. On the first day, they killed the boy, John, as he was too weak to travel. The baby, Peggy, had been wounded during the capture and was fretful - the Indians dashed her brains out against a tree after two or three days. Soon after reaching the Indian town, Mrs Moore and her daughter, Jane, were put to death by torture and burning at the stake as witnessed by her daughter, Polly, and Martha Evans. Martha later reported that Mrs Moore had her body stuck full of light wood splinters which were fired as she was tortured for three days before an old squaw, more humane than the rest, killed her with a tomahawk. About a year after his capture James Jr was sold for $50 to a French trader and learned that his sister, Polly, had been purchased by a Mr Stagwell, a man of bad character. James found his sister in very bad condition. At about this time Thomas Evans, husband of Jane Howerton, was searching for his kinswoman (probably his sister), Martha Evans who had been purchased from the Indians by the Donaldson family who lived in the Detroit area and had treated her kindly. Finally, more than five years after their capture, James Moore Jr and his sister, Polly were released from captivity by the efforts of Thomas Evans. After their release to Evans, they began the return trip to Southwest Virginia by going down the lakes to the Moravian Towns. There, with Thomas Evans and his kinswoman, Martha Evans, the party set out for Pittsburg on horses they had purchased. After an altercation with Indians from which they escaped unharmed, they reached Pittsburg safely. They remained in the Pittsburg area with an uncle of Thomas Evans until Spring as Thomas had dislocated his shoulder. Unexpected expense had depleted Thomas Evans' funds and he left Martha with the uncle and traveled to the home in Virginia of an uncle of James Jr and Polly. After receiving compensation for his service, Thomas Evans returned to Pittsburg and brought Martha Evans back to Southwest Virginia.

In April 1794 the last known Indian raid in that area was conducted by Benge, accompanied by at least six Indians. They attacked the Livingston place at a time when family members were scattered about working on the farm. Mrs Livingston was in the house with two small children and a baby and, being alerted by their dogs, looked out and saw seven painted Indians approaching the house. She shut and barred the door, which the Indians began pounding, then fired two guns at the door. Mrs Livingston fired back through the door and the Indians went to an adjoining building and set it on fire. The smoke caused her to open a door and an Indian immediately jumped inside, taking her and the children prisoner. When taken outside she saw that her other child and her sister had also been captured along with four Negro slaves. As the Indians were dividing the loot, Mrs Livingston told the oldest daughter to take the baby and run to a neighbor's house. The Indians and prisoners crossed Clinch River and three days later camped at the foot of Powell's Mountain. A party of settlers under County Lieutenant Vincent Hobbs had set out to overtake the Indians and free the prisoners. This party set up an ambush in a gap on Powell's Mountain and when the Indians came into sight, Benge was killed in the first volley. As usual, in the melee that followed, the Indians attempted to kill their prisoners and Mrs Livingston was struck in the head by a tomahawk as she was defending herself as best she could with her arms. She fell over a log and struck her head, becoming unconscious. After an hour, she regained consciousness and found herself in the care of friends who had rescued her. Four of the Indians were dead and the others had escaped into the woods with one Negro, who later escaped and returned. Benge, one of the most notorious Indians, had killed, raided, burned and looted in that area for many years, as well as capturing an unknown number of settlers. Colonel Arthur Campbell, charged with protection of settlers in that area, sent a report of the death of Benge, alongwith his scalp as proof, to the Governor of Virginia. He requested that Vincent Hobbs be presented with a "neat" rifle as a reward for his service. Accordingly, the General Assembly voted Lieutenant Hobbs a silver mounted rifle. We don't know all the details of the individual service of John and William Howerton. We know they were in the Militia units that were called in effort to protect settlers from raiding Indians and that they assisted in tracking Indians who had taken prisoners.

John Howerton remained in Montgomery County for the remainder of his life.

William Howerton and his sister's families stayed in the area for a few years after the Indian raids ceased. However, all except possibly Stephen Jett and Frances moved farther West. William Howerton and all his children, except William Jr moved to the Floyd/Morgan County area of Kentucky. William Howerton Jr moved to Grainger County, TN before 1830 and by 1850 was in Pike County, AR. Thomas Evans and Jane moved to Fentress County, TN. Thomas Alley and Susannah apparently moved from the area.

He married ELIZABETH ANN RICHARDS1 ABT 1842 in CASEY CO.?,KY, daughter of BEN RICHARDS and MARY SHARP. She was born December 25, 1820 in KY1, and died April 18, 1900 in CASEY CO.,KY1.

Notes for WILLIAM ROY EVANS:

William Roy Evans was born to Drewery and Theodocia Jacobs Evans on July 6, 1814, in Overton County, Tennessee. He was the third of their surviving children. Presumably, his childhood was spent with his family in Tennessee and Kentucky and, perhaps, for a short time around 1830 in Illinois. In the 1840’s, he evidently moved as a member of his parents’ household to Casey County, Kentucky, where he seems to have remained for the rest of his life.

It is likely that William Roy Evans and Elizabeth Ann Richards were married in Casey County about 1842 or 1843. As indicated by Casey County census records of 1850, 1870, 1880, 1900, and 1910, they were the parents of eight known children, Thomas Green, Drury, James, Calvin, Benjamin, Martha, Izobella (Isabella), and John, all born between 1845 and 1861. It appears that Martha may not have survived to adulthood and that John and his wife had no children. Benjamin apparently moved to Missouri as a young man.1 (In addition, there is some discrepancy as to the birth year of Izobella2, which has been given as 1859 by family tradition, but was consistently indicated by census records of 1870, 1880, and 1900 to have been 1863.)

Kentucky Land Patent No. 12036 was issued July 20, 1848, and granted William R. Evans fifty acres along Honey Locust Branch and Riffe Creek. As noted elswhere, this indicates a location on the northern side of the Green River downstream from Dunnville and near the Casey-Adair County boundary. However, later census records seem to indicate that Willian Roy and Elizabeth Richards Evans lived on the south side of the Green River, possibly near Dunnville. Elizabeth Richards Evans died April 18, 1900, and at the time of the 1900 US Census, William R. Evans, aged eighty-five, was living in the household of his son, Elisha Calvin Evans. William Roy Evans died in Casey County on August 6, 1901. According to their descendants, both William Roy and Elizabeth Richards Evans are buried in the Evans Cemetery, which is located on the Bob Wesley farm in Casey County.

10. JOHN T.4 EVANS (DREWERY3, THOMAS "JEFFERSON"2, ROBERT1)1 was born 1824 in FENTRESS CO., TN1, and died 1860 in GENTRY CO., MO. He married ELIZABETH MILLER1 1846 in CASEY CO.,KY. She was born 18231, and died 1856.

Notes for JOHN T. EVANS:

John T. Evans, who had also moved to Gentry County from Casey County about 1850, was a paternal uncle of Benjamin F. Evans, but he had died in 1860 some eighteen or nineteen years prior to Benjamin’s arrival. Even so, all six of John’s children, i.e., Benjamin’s first cousins, lived contemporaneously with him in Gentry County but, strangely, do not seem to have been well acquainted with their cousin from Kentucky or even to have known that he and his children were their relatives. Various explanations of this are possible, the simplest one being that the six Evans children were essentially left as orphans knowing very little about their father’s family. Alternatively, it is plausible that there may have been some estrangement between the brothers, William Roy and John T. Evans, which, perhaps, might have arisen out of the settlement of their father’s estate, but nothing of this kind is definitively known. Of course, only further research can provide answers to the questions suggested by this situation.
