Son of Thomas and Jane Beverly Evans, husband of Sarah Jane Haseldon.
"Chesley Daniel Evans was born in Marion, S. C, Jan. 10th, 1817; he received his early education at the Marion Academy, entered the South Carolina College and graduated with the degree of A. B., in the class of 1840.
He read law and was admitted to practice about 1843, when he opened his office in his native County. In 1850 he was appointed Com. in Equity, and discharged the duties of his office until the change in the State Government in ISGG. During the Civil War he was an officer of the reserve guard of Marion, and saw duty in the latter years along the coast. He was chosen by his County in 1860, with Gen. William W. Harllee, as a delegate to the Convention which framed the Ordinance of Secession, and his name is subscribed to that famous document. He was married on the 9th December 1847, to Sarah Jane Haseldon, and died May 29th, 1897. Greatly beloved and venerated, he lived out a long and useful life in the home of his father's, a type of the old school gentleman of a passing regime."
