Campbell County

William Evans seems to have first appeared in Campbell County in 1816, eventually as "William Sr.", last appearing in 1825. His wife Joyce appeared in 1828 and 1829 before she wrote her will in December. In 1831, her daughter Permelia, sons Tarlton, and a William (formerly William Jr.) were recorded on the same day.^[2] Another Evans family settled in the Concord area of Campbell County, with the names "Daniel, Rees, Thomas, Sampson, and also William Evans appearing in the tax lists (who should be the younger William Evans before 1825). Oftentimes one or more of these Evans men were entered on the same day as members of William and Joyce's family, but are not transcribed here (except the other "William").
