Evans Wilson

• General Notes
  • Coos Cty, N.H. GenWeb: to Earl Pike: The Evans Family was from both Gorham, and Shelburne, N.H. The Bray family was from Maine; my Great,gr.gr. grandmother was Sarah Sawyer Bray of Cape Elizabeth, wife of John Mariner. She died when Rachel Mariner was born and it was grandchildren who married into the Evans Family: two Evans sisters, married to two Randall brothers; the families visited back and forth, I was told by late Rose Leighton, of Gorham, N.H. who is also buried in Evans Cemetary in Gorham. Rev. Ezeikel Evans (spelled wrong) was in Randolph Church, check the Old and New Book on Randolph, by George N. Cross. Perhaps the Deacon Evans Wilson is listed at a local church also. lalianne@Yahoo.com  Coos Cty, N.H.
