Wilton, North Carolina, May 1st 1855 Sir enclosed I send you the Claims of THOMAS EVANS, JOHN HAILEY, FRANCIS CLARKE, and JESSE ADCOCK to the Bounty land to which they may be entitled under the acts of the 3rd of March last; should there be any irregularity as to form you will please forward them back to my address as their agents for their correction. In regard to the case of THOMAS EVANS it may perhaps be proper for me to say that a copy of the Muster Rolls was not before me at the time his declaration was written I have reason to believe that the name of L. GILLIAM will appear as Capt. instead of SIMS as given in the declaration. The facts are these GILLIAM was appointed Capt. of that Company; before it marched to Newbern GILLIAM was raised to a higher command and CHARLES SIMS appointed Capt of that Company. Respectfully NATH'L M. LAWRENCE

Notes by D. Williams. While Sallie Bass-Evans gave her age as 108 in these files (b.1781), she was actually about 100 years old (b.1790) as indicated in her earliest Census records. These were by no means the only children of Thomas Evans & Sallie Bass, who had 12 children, but here is additional info about those who gave affidavits in this file: This file interchangeably refers to Wesley & Marthenia Evans and as Wiley & Marthenia Evans, they were actually Wiley James Evans (son of Thomas and Sallie) and his wife, Parthenia Mayo (daughter of Cuffy Mayo and Glatha Anderson-Hawkins). Daughter, Elizabeth (Evans)Pettiford, was married to Hillman Pettiford (son of Gilly Pettiford). Son Major Evans, was Major Lewis Evans, who was married to Mary Jane Evans.
