Cheri -
I see you are also researching Evans. Do you have any Evans in
Effingham County. My father, Beryl Evans, grew up there and his father
and grandfather were also there.

was trying to paint a mental picture for him like it was. Thank you for
supplying me with the information of the history. As it is a lot more than I
had. On each one of my direct lines I input something abo

Thanks, Audrey. Apparently it was a first marriage for Rachel. I was
hoping the record would say she was a widow, age 55, marrying for the
second time! Wishful thinking!

My Uncle was Lawrence Vernon (L.V.) Carr 1909(?)-1986. Could someone with
