Mary
Priscilla Johnson was born December 27, 1819. She was the daughter
of John & Sarah (Drury) Johnson. She was baptized
April 14, 1820 at Newtown Chapel. She died June 10, 1873.
According to Ms. Cryer she married Enoch Richard
Evans on January 26,
1842. Children are not known. Recently
Janet Evans Standish, a descendant of Enoch Richard Evans, contacted
me. She includes this fascinating obituary for Enoch Richard
Evans:
June 13,
1907 Beacon Death notice
Enoch
Richard Evans died at his home in Patuxent district, June 8,
1907 aged 84 years. Capt. Dick, as he as affectionately known,
was magistrate for many years and his decisions were uniformly
guided by a keen sense of justice and by fine judgment. He was
one of the most punctual business men in the county. In his
younger days he was a noted hand-ball player and participated in
many an exciting game at the old alley at Tubman's Store. Capt.
Evans had been in failing health for sometime, but the
announcement of his death was a great shock to friends outside
his immediate neighborhood. We hope and trust he is happy in
the better land.
He was buried in
St. Andrews RCC Cemtery. Ms. Cryer in her book "Deaths and
Burials in St. Mary's County" has this citation for Enoch Richard
Evans:
E.R. Evans, b.
Mar. 1, 1823 d. Jun. 8, 1907, hus of Mary L. ____, d. Jul. 27,
1896, aged 55 yrs.
Apparently E. R.
Evans married three times, and all to Marys.
Many thanks to Janet Evans Standish for her information on Enoch
Richard Evans. All information on the Evans descendants is
