Drucilla Evans Glover

Drucilla Evans was born about 1790 in Georgia, according to the 1850 Census reports, and the 1860 Mortality records of Barbour County. She was the granddaughter of George Evans born Abt. 1740 and died in 1819 in Clarke County, Georgia. George and his wife, Hannah had four children, George, Walter, William, and John.

The Will of George Evans, dated 17 July 1816, in Clarke County, names his wife Hannah, and grandsons, Anslem Evans, William Evans, John Evans, all of Putnam County. George's sons were not named in his Will, since he had already given them what he wanted them to have.
Drucilla was the daughter of William Evans (born about 1762 and died in 1808 in Putnam County, Georgia) and Wilmouth Stokes. Wilmouth was the daughter of Richard and Prudence Stokes of Lunenberg, Virginia.

William and Wilmouth has ten children;

Polly was born in 1780 in Virginia, and died after 1860 in Talapoosa,Alabama, she married Caleb Canady. (Information taken from Will of William Evans in Putnam County,Georgia). Drucilla married John Paschal Glover March 5, 1812 in Putnam County, Georgia.

Drucilla and John were married for 47 years, when she died from a tumor in her side, according to the Mortality Schedule for 1860 in Barbour County. She was from "Pioneer Stock", a survivor, a great lady who nurtured her family and took in children of her family that had been left orphans, or without parents. When her sister Tabitha died, her husband remarried and had children, Drucilla cared for these children also. The 1850 Census showed Jackson Vining residing in the John P. Glover household. Though Drucilla lived in Alabama, she kept a close relationship with her Georgia relatives, visiting often.

The Glovers were Scottish and a very close knitted family. John and Drucilla had nine children of their own, all of whom lived to be adults in Barbour County. Their descendants still remain in the area, living in Barbour, Dale, Henry, Bullock, and Geneva Counties in Alabama.

Information on the continous research of Drucilla's family..

I am back from the library, and I'm sad to say, there is no Will for William Evans. I have two pages of Appraisement, and the Index to Estates of Putnam County. The appraisement Papers say that he died October 15, 1808. The Estate papers run from 11-3-1823 to April 14, 1833. There are twelve entries over this period of time. The only thing I know to do is to go up to Eatonton, and wade through the records in hope of finding the disbursement. I note that there are three family members who bought at the sale. Wilmouth, Drucilla, William, and Anslum. Wilmouth got most of it. I noticed that John woods bought a razor set, and that John Cowan was one of the appraisers.

These pages are too large to scan, or even copy, so I'll mail them to you if you want them.
