Pandaby Blog is doing Time Travel tonight.

Fast forward to when Richard Evans' son Edward is married. His bride is none other than Mary Ann Kyniston, when she was fifteen and half years old. They had three sons and three daughters, and farmed the Donation Land claim that Edward owned next to his father Richard Evans. The first four of Richards grandchildren were welcomed by him in person. He died in November of 1872, and split his estate between his two remaining children -- Edward Evans and Mary Ann (Evans) Sherrill.

So follow the links to see how our pioneers fared. They do not know what their future holds -- but we do, if we care to take a look.

Let's follow one of Richard's lines down in time --

Edward Evans and Mary Ann Kyniston had six children, and their youngest, Clarence Evans, came to own and manage the ancestral farm. Here is an excerpt from his biography in 1964:

"Clarence Evans, (his middle name Richard after his grandfather Richard Evans, who established his farm next to the farm that Clarence was born on). Clarence spent his life as a farmer, like his father, his grandfather, and many other generations before him. He raised purebred Holstein cattle, and he was a member of the National Grange and a member of the Holstein Cattle Association of Oregon. When the WWI draft registration board interviewed him, they noted that he was short, of medium build, with brown hair and brown eyes.

Clarence Evans was a life-long member of the Halsey Methodist Church, which is where his father Edward Evans attended church, and his grandfather Richard Evans was a member, having established the farm there in 1852.^"

^{Although he married three times, being widowed twice, Clarence had no children to inherit the farm.}

^{When I visited there in 1992, his widow, Dearcy, was taking immaculate care of the property, which had been named a Century Farm.}
