Elizabeth Radcliff Evans was the daughter of John Radcliff (c.1769 - c.1811) and Judith Carpenter (died 1802).
John Radcliff and his family were the first settlers in the Licking Valley of Licking County, Ohio. John Radcliff was the father of Elizabeth, Mary, and Deborah Radcliff. These three sisters married three Evans brothers within a couple years of each other.
Elizabeth married Joshua Evans on July 9, 1817; they reportedly joined the Methodist congregation of Hanover Twp., Licking County in 1824.
In the fall of 1830, Elizabeth's family and that of her half-sister, Permelia Radcliff Dixon, moved to Sandy Creek in what is now Marshall Co., Illinois. Their mother/step-mother Hannah Radcliff followed her daughters to Illinois soon afterwards where her name appears in the earliest Methodist Class book of 1836. Sister Deborah Radcliff and John Evans arrived about 1834.
The Dixons did not remain in Marshall County, but soon moved to the El Paso area of Woodford County. Local El Paso historians claim Thomas Dixon first settled in Woodford County, so perhaps he owned land both places. Hannah Radcliff, Permelia and Thomas are all buried at Centennial Chapel Cemetery in Palestine Twp., Woodford Co., IL. The John Evans family moved to Long Point, Livingston Co., IL.
Elizabeth's life was cut short by a smallpox epidemic in 1843. Her daughter-in-law, Jane Alexander Evans and newborn child died two weeks later. They are all buried in Cherry Point Cemetery.
Six of Elizabeth's children - 3 daughters and 3 sons- survived childhood and were living in 1880.
