[Harrison County]   [Sylvan Dell Precinct]

GREEN D. EVANS, farmer, P. O. Sylvan Dell; was born in the house where he
now resides, April 10, 1826.  His grandfather, Walter Evans, came from
Maryland, and settled at Summit Station in Nicholas County, where it was
not safe for settlers to reside except when banded together for mutual
protection.  When the Indians made an attack upon Summit Station, Walter
Evans was one of the party who followed them to the Ohio River, where they
discovered them in the act of crossing the river in their canoes. He died
in Harrison, June 20, 1846, aged eighty years.  David Evans, father of our
subject was born in Nicholas County in 1795.  He was serving apprenticeship
as blacksmith in Cynthiana at time of war of 1812-15.  He stood three
drafts and drew clear each time.  He died in 1865.  G. D. Evans was raised
as a farmer.  On Dec. 13, 1855, he married Emeline, daughter of James and
Elizabeth (Lennox) Davis, of Harrison County, who has borne him eight
children, five of whom are living: James D., Sallie K., David, Elizabeth
and Luther Green.  Mr. and Mrs. Davis are members of the Republican
Christian Church.  He is now Treasurer of Fair Play Lodge of the Order
of Patrons of Husbandry.  In politics he is a Democrat.
