Notes:
Evans is a surname found in Bladen in 1168 and 1790.
David and Theophilus Evens were located in current Bladen in 1189.
Elizabeth Evans was located east of Great Swamp by 1780. In the 1850
census of Robeson they reported having been born in Richmond County by
1800. White (1988) feels that those named Evans possibly descended from
Saponi Indians living next to the plantation of Col. William Eaton in
Granville County in the 1750s. The name was given as mulatto in Robeson
but most carrying the name Evans have typically been White and Scottish as
found in north Robeson near St. Pauls. Name self-identified as Indian in the
1900 Census of Robeson and listed on the 1900 Indian Census Schedule.
Death records show the Indian name in 1954 in Maxton township. Cited at
New Prospect Methodist Church cemetery and elsewhere by Jane Blanks
Barnhill in Sacred Grounds, 2007, a listing of 162 Lumbee cemeteries in
Robeson County.
