[Nicholas County]  [Headquarters Precinct]

GILLEAD EVANS, farmer, P. O. Headquarters; was born in Delaware, July 4,
1794, and is a son of John and Rachael (Taylor) Evans, who were among
the first to enter upon pioneer life in Kentucky; the former was born
in Delaware in 1774 and died 1809.  His wife, Rachael, was also born in
Delaware in 1774 and died in 1825.  Gillead, our subject, was their only
child, and his opportunities for receiving an education was very limited,
there being very few schools at that early day.  Early in life he entered
upon a farmer's life; served six months in the war of 1812; was married
March 9, 1817, to Miss Anna Trigg, who was born in Virginia, Jan. 10, 1794,
and died in Sept. 1864, leaving to his care two children, viz: Susan, wife
of Anderson Brooks (See Hist.), and Elizabeth, the wife of Oscar Orr, and
now living in Missouri.  Mr. Evans was married again July 6, 1873, to Mrs.
Rose Ann Sanders, widow of James Sanders, and daughter of John and Rose
(Mitchell) Cook.  Mr. Evans has always been an enterprising farmer and a
thorough business man, is a member of the Methodist Church; in politics he
is a Democrat.
