• Evan was apparently named after an ancestor, Evan Lewis, who was a brother to Amos Lewis, a famous early settler in Jefferson County, Tennessee.  The elder Evan was born 8 May 1749 in Shenandoah County, Virginia, and died 23 Jun 1823 in Jefferson County, Tennessee.  He was a Quaker, and is buried in the Frioends Station Burial ground, where the younger Evan's uncle John B Lewis is interred.
