Additional Comments:
Actual muster dates of John Evans Tudor were 21 November 1814 to 8 March 
1815.  Mary submitted later paperwork on 7 April 1855, in which she stated that 
her marriage took place on 9 July 1812 by John Cook in Jones Co., GA, which was 
different from the date she gave in 1851.  She also stated in 1855 that "no 
public or private record of her marriage can be obtained."  In 1855, the 
witnesses to her claim are Thomas Broadfoot and H. M. Crowell.  Her full name 
was Mary Ann Crowell, and Benjamin Crowell was her father.  William Evans 
Crowell was her brother.  Mary Ann Crowell was born 15 Oct 1798 and died after 
1860.
