"An excellent account of the Evans family is given in Southern
Lineages, pages 1-86, by Mrs. Adaline (Evans) Wynn, a descendant
of the Evans family.

As quoted from the book, Southern Lineages: No trace of David
Evans and his son, Arden is found in Prince George County in the
intervening years. In the year 1749 Arden Evans is living in
Frederick County where, with his wife Susannah, he is remembered
in the will of Thomas Ball. Arden Evans is made sole executor
of this will. The clause 'I give to my daughter, Susannah Evans
one gold mourning ring' refers unmistakenly to Arden Evans wife.
Arden and Susannah Evans are untraced after 1784, as they left
no wills in Pittsylvania County. It is supposed that they
followed some or one of their children to a newer county and
died there.

The following information was acquired from the internet and is
unconfirmed:
"Arden Evans born March 15, 1721 in Virginia, married Susannah
Ball, daughter of Thomas Ball, in 1741 in Virginia. Arden Evans
was the son of David Evans and Ann Arden. Arden Evans and
Susannah and their son Elijah, died at the hands of Indians in
North Carolina in 1752."
"Family traditions says Arden Evans and Susannah Ball Evans
moved from Virginia to North Carolina. Arden, Susannah and
Elijah Evans were killed by Indians in North Carolina. We would
like to either prove or disprove this lineage. Any proof or
disproof will be appreciated. William Evans was bound out to an
unknown family until he became of age. William Evans served in
the Revolution, enlisting in North Carolina and moving through
South Carolina to Georgia, where he lived the remainder of his
life."
