My Genealogy Hound

D. W. C. EVANS, farmer, P. O. Georgetown, was born in Pleasant Township, on the farm he now occupies, one mile south of Georgetown, December 5, 1830. His father, Elijah Evans, was born in Pennsylvania. His mother, Lucinda (Curry) Evans, was a native of Rockingham County, Va. Her father, Robert Curry, emigrated from Virginia to Brown County in 1801, and settled on the 1,000 acre survey of Maj. James Curry, his uncle, from whom he purchased the patent for the land. The subject of this sketch owns 130 acres of this tract, and lives here with his sister. He was the ninth of a family of ten children — William (deceased, who was a farmer), Phebe (deceased, who was the wife of W. McClure), Robert (deceased), Sarah (wife of James Henderson, of Hamilton County), Jemima, Elizabeth, Albert G. (deceased), Mary Louisa (wife of K. D. Hewitt), D. W. C. and Judia Ann (wife of William S. Laycock). All the children lived to attain their majority, and all were members of the Christian Church. D. W. C. has made farming the business of his life, and is greatly attached to it. He takes pride in keeping about him good horses. His political principles are Democratic.
