Carter Evans, September 5, 1791 - ca 1873

Carter Evans was born in the state of Vermont, September 5, 1791 and with his
parents, three brothers and one sister, traveling on foot and with ox-teams,
reached New York state 1809. Bought a tract of land in what is now called town
of Ogden, Monroe County, eight miles west of the city of Rochester, then a 
wilderness, where he lived and died at the advanced age of 82.  His only
surviving relative is an adopted daughter Mrs. E. C. Emmons, aged nearly 85
years, who still lives on the old farm called the Carter Evans farm in
District No. 6.
