Notes for William Poindexter Evans:
I believe that Wm. P. Evans was a circuit rider or traveling layman of some type with the Methodist Church. I have written a number of letters trying to verify this information but no luck. I have a copy of some type of receipt from the Appomattox Circuit of the Methodist church, but no one can tell me what it means. Campbell County Land Book lists him in that Cty 1836-1845 when this area was annexed into Appomattoxd Cty.
Wm. was also a farmer- I have a number of receipts showing his sales of tobacco and corn.
