In public records, John is reported as John H and John F. Some genealogies appear to be obviously reporting family inforrmation with details of dates and places, but without notes or documentation. These indicate his middle name was Franklin, supporting the 1910 census entry of John F Evatt. This genealogy reprots the name of his wife in the earlier French form.

Some details about Lem Evatt are provided by genealogies. The following information reports Lem born in Pendleton Town, in Anderson District. I have not found supporting evidence of the town or location where Lem was born, but Anderson County, reported here as the birth county, did not exist at that time. Lem was born in old Pendleton District of South Carolina, from which Anderson and other counties were created in December 1826.
