Grayson County, TXGenWeb

Allen "Owl" Evans is my line. He was born October 22, 1835 in Butler Co., Kentucky.
He was married twice and both times to his cousin. He married 2nd time on May 31, 1860 to Delilah Haney. She was the daughter to John Haney of Ohio Co., Kentucky and Sarah "Sallie" Coy and sister to Lathana Jane Coy. Allen and Delilah moved to Grayson County, Texas. He died August 30, 1825 Howe, Grayson, Texas and is buried at Akers Cemetery in Sherman, Grayson County, Texas. Delilah died June 30, 1912 Sherman, Grayson County, Texas. She is also buried at Akers Cemetery. My grandfather, William M. Evans, was their 3rd child.

Have more information on the above and willing to share. Would love to have the other family lines.

Delilia Haney Evans
26 July 1845 - 30 June 1912
w/o Allen Evans

Delilia Haney Evans has a headstone but no death certficate.
Back on the June 30, 1975 Delilah had a nice headstone; it said she was the daughter of John Haney and that she was born in Butler County, Kentucky; the tombstone also had the statement:
She was a servant of God Saved by grace
Sleep on Dear one be meeting soon

That stone disappeared. We could not find it anywhere; we drove all around the area looking. We checked with extended family members. Could not find out anything. Later this black stone showed up. It is very hard to read. The other stone was old but was very clear.

Marriage: Allen wed Delilah Haney May 31, 1860 at her father, John Haney's home.
