The parents of Overton Evans were David Evans and Christeney (Christina) Petro. One item of the 24 Dec 1833 will of Henry Petro of Randolph Co., VA states: "I give and bequeath to my daughter, Christeney Petro, now wife of David Evans, two dollars to be paid out of my real estate" (Will Bk. "2", p.449)
Overton Evans, born in1776 in VA, was recorded on the 1800 Tax list for Charlotte Co. VA (later to become Appomattox Co., VA). In 1804, he purchased land in Campbell Co., VA.
The 1810 US Census of Lynchburg, Campbell Co., VA enumerated the household of Overton Evans in the age range of 26 to 44 years. A female in the age range of "45 years and over" was probably his unknown first wife. Also living in the 1810 household were their children: one male in the 10 to 15 year range and one female in the age range of 16 to 25.
Overton Evans served in the War of 1812 as a corporal in the 3rd Regiment Virginia Militia Volunteers (Dickinson's Regiment).

His wife, Elizabeth (Jordan) Fore, was also recorded in the age range of "16 thru 25".

This area, including the land of Overton Evans, of Campbell County would later, in 1845, become part of Appomattox, County.

I have a written communication from my deceased friend Ruby W. Hamilton of Evergreen, Appomattox County, Virginia dated 02 Jun 1988 in which she states, "I found old Evans graveyard in the Evergreen area off Route 681, present Southside district in Appomattox (County), Virginia. Evans lands were just inside the original county (Charlotte Co./Campbell Co.) lines. The graveyard was in bad condition but I could read a few of the gravestones. There are many unmarked graves in this cemetery so this is most probably the burial place of Overton Evans." (See above for the location of Overton Evans' land). NOTE: Ruby W.

There is a letter in my possession, dated 26 Apr 1875, from Nannie Evans Dickerson to her mother, Mary (Fore) Farrar of Appomattox County.

There were two females in the age range of 26 thru 44 and one female in the age range of "45 and over", who was probably Overton's unknown first wife who died between 1820-1830. Four people were recorded as engaged in commerce in the household.
The 07 Aug 1820 US Census of Charlotte County, Virginia enumerated the household of James Fore, Sr. age range of "45 "and over". His wife was also recorded in the age range of "45 and over". There were four male children in the household: one was in the age range of "under 10"; one was in the age range of "10 thru 15"; one was in the age range of "16 thru 18" and one was in the age range of "16 thru 25".

There were two people in the household engaged in manufactures. NOTE: Living in the household next door to James Fore, Sr. was Mary (Fore) Farrar recorded in the age range of "26 thru 44", head of household, living alone. Mary Farrar was the widow of Charles Farrar, Sr., the daughter of Peter Fore, Sr. and the sister of James Fore, Sr.
The 07 Aug 1820 US Census of Charlotte County, Virginia enumerated the household of James Fore, Jr. age range of "26 thru 44" located 5 houses away from his father's, James Fore, Sr., residence. His wife, Elizabeth (Jordan) Fore, was also recorded in the age range of "16 thru 25". There were two female children living in the household: one in the age range of "Under 10"-(this would have been Mary Jordan Fore who was born in 1812 and was 8 Y/O in 1820); the other was recorded in the age range of "10 thru 15". One person in the household was recorded as engaged in agriculture.
On 03 May 1822 Josiah Farrar, of Campbell Co., VA, son of Charles Farrar, Sr., conveyed in trust to Charles and John McKinney, of Charlotte Co. four hundred acres in Charlotte Co., adjoining the lands of Thomas Harvey, OVERTON EVANS, William Gaines, and JAMES FORE, JR., "on which the said Josiah Farrar now resides". This land was located very close to the Charlotte Co./Campbell Co., border (Charlotte County Bk. "20", pp191-92). NOTE: At this time Josiah Farrar's widowed mother, Mary (Fore) Farrar, lived in Charlotte County near the Campbell County line, very close to her son's land. This area, including the land of Overton Evans, of Campbell County would later, in 1845, become part of Appomattox, County. NOTE: This documentation shows the juxtaposition of the lands of Josiah Farrar, son of Charles Farrar, Sr., James Fore, Jr., father of Mary Jordan Fore Evans Farrar, and Overton Evans, first husband of Mary Jordan Fore Evans Farrar.
On 31 May 1830, 18 Y/O Mary Jordan Fore married 54 Y/O Overton Evans at Charlotte Co., VA as her first husband and his second wife.
The 1830 US Census of Campbell Co., VA enumerated the household of Overton Evans (age range 50 thru 59).

There were 4 children in the household: 2 males in the 5 thru 9 age range and 2 females, one under 5 Y/O and one in the 5 thru 9 age range. There were three persons employed in agriculture living in the household.
Overton Evans was recorded on the 1845 tax list of Campbell Co., Courthouse, VA, now Appomattox County. He was taxed on 196 acres located on Cub Creek now near Evergreen, VA.
Overton Evans died about 1846 as his his widow, Mary Jordan (Fore) Evans, was enumerated in the 21 Aug 1850 US Census of Appomattox County as the wife of George Thomas Farrar and the 1850 census records their first child, Virginia Ann Farrar, as three (3) years old, born on 12 April 1848. I have a written communication from my deceased friend Ruby W. Hamilton of Evergreen, Appomattox County, Virginia dated 02 Jun 1988 in which she states, "I found old Evans graveyard in the Evergreen area off Route 681, present Southside district in Appomattox (County), Virginia. Evans lands were just inside the original county (Charlotte Co./Campbell Co.) lines. The graveyard was in bad condition but I could read a few of the gravestones. There are many unmarked graves in this cemetery so this is most probably the burial place of Overton Evans." (See above for the location of Overton Evans' land). NOTE: Ruby W. Hamilton was the official historian of Evergreen, Virginia, postmistress of Evergreen for many years and authored the book, "The Story of Evergreen, Virginia, 1854-1984" by Ruby Wooldridge Hamilton, 1985

All of the Evans step-children who were living in the household in the 1850 census have moved out. Living in the household next door was 28 Y/O John William Evans, son of Mary Jordan (Fore) Evans Farrar and her deceased first husband, Overton Evans, and John W. Evan's 20 Y/O wife, Martha Paulina (Wilkes) Evans. Also living in the household were their 9 months old son, Jessie Overton Evans and 18 Y/O Bettie (Elizabeth) S. Wilkes, sister of Martha P.

Interestingly, George Thomas Farrar's net worth in 1860 was $4500.00. His net worth in 1870, post Civil War, was $10,000. This is astounding.
NOTE: George Thomas Farrar's two Evans stepsons were living close-by in the 1870 census: Living two households away was 36 Y/O John William Evans and his 31 Y/O wife, Martha Paulina (Wilkes) Evans. Living in the household were their children: 10 Y/O Jessie Overton Evans; 9 Y/O John W. Evans, Jr.; 6 Y/O Samuel Evans; 3 Y/O Calvin E. Evans and 2 months old Augustus Evans.

All of the children were born in Campbell Co., VA which later became Appomattox Co., VA.
There is a letter in my possession, dated 26 Apr 1875, from Nannie Evans Dickerson to her mother, Mary (Fore) Farrar of Appomattox County. The letter, in beautiful cursive, is addressed "Drakes Branch, Charlotte Co., Virginia. It is in response to a recently received letter from her mother. The subject matter is mainly about sewing and she congratulates her cousin, Tom, on "getting so much per hundred for his tobacco". She says that she is a grandmother, that her rheumatism was worse this last winter and she has 40 chickens. Her husband, Daniel, has planted corn but "his plants look badly due to lack of rain".
Mary Jordan (Fore) Evans Farrar and George Thomas Farrar had three children of their own (see below).
