Evans (Evans Station)
Evans Station, Greene County, was at the home of Joseph Evans, an early settler in the region. The location was nine miles north of Springfield in Township 30 N, Range 22 West, Section 23, approximately one-quarter mile east of the newly established line of Highway 13, which ran originally in front of the house. The original house and section was a two-story, dressed walnut log building with porches and red chimneys. >From a survey of the few foundation and chimney ruins, the approximate dimensions of the building were: 37 feet 6 inches wide and the same long. It was between Ebenezer and Glidewell. (--Butterfield Stage: Along the Old Wire in Missouri and Arkansas, in the Springfield Public Library.)A grist mill was built by Joseph Evans, and he ventured to erect a frame dwelling house and for years it was the admired of all admirers, everyone being curious to know how much it cost. (--Holcombe, p. 916.)

My GG grandfather was Alexander Evans whom I believe to be the son of Joseph Evans. I believe he married one of the daughters of Allen Robberson (descendent of Elizabeth Jane Pettigrew and Abednigo Robberson) and Mary Montgomery, but I haven't been able to determine which one. Can anyone help with this?
Alexander Evans' daughter, my G grandmother, was Lenora Melissa Evans, who married Prof. Joseph Lucien Pritchett from Glasgow, MO. They moved to Huntsville, TX in the 1880s.
Thanks,
