• Notes

  !SOURCE: "Descendants of Amey Madison Thornton," email from N. Combs to Weldon Whipple, 26 Jul 2006. Norma writes: It appears that I previously sent that Jehu 80193 was the son of Jehu Evans 80194, which could still be true. There is a likely candidate--Jehu Evans b. Smithfield February 28, 1769 d. Smithfield July 30, 1852, the son of David Evans {96305} and Jemima Bishop, but that's all the info I have on him. There is no female of an appropriate age buried in the Jehu Evans Lot, Mann Rd., Smithfield, RI. Having said that, I will reference the fact that Jehu names his first son Elisha; it was custom then to name the first son after the husband's father and the second son after the wife's father--Amey Thornton's father was named William. !SOURCE: "Descendants of David Evans, Jr.," email from N.
