Individual Details

Married Will Evett or Evatt [his name actually was Edward Evatt]. Lived in Scott Co AR in 1901 according to her grandfather's will. Said to have been born in Stringtown, OK - if so, the family must have gone to Indian Territory and then returned.

Edward Evatt married Sarah Allen, 9 Nov 1891, Sebastian Co, AR. He gave his age as 21, hers as 18 (she was 16).

The Application of Mary Keeton Allen for her Widow's Pension on 16 Mar 1883 includes the affadavits of Mary E. Crabtree re the births of the three daughters. She had this to say about Sarah: Born 16th Mar 1875 in Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory....she was not present at the birth of said child ....acquaintance with the family and seeing said child while it was very small ...knows the date from a family record.
