  Note that Evelina's gravestone reports that she is the mother of Mary Ann Maria Gregory.  It is not clear why one of her children would have the last name of Gregory, Evelina's maiden name.  Evelina was married 4 times, none of them to a spouse named Gregory.  Mary Ann Maria has not been identified.  Gregory may be Mary Ann's married name.
