Early Settlements. - But little information could be obtained of the early
settlers. Tradition tells of a family by the name of York, about 1786, being
killed or taken captive by the Indians at the mouth of the run bearing their
name.

Hugh Evans was born in 1769, in Delaware. He married Sarah Thomas, and came
near the site of Evansville about 1800. His children were Nancy, Samuel (an
old man still living), James (the founder of Evansville), Sarah, Rolla and
William. Hugh Evans was a justice of the county court in 1818, and
afterwards was sheriff. He died in 1873, at the age of 104 years.

Sometime after Evans settled, the Leeches and Hanaways came.
