I am having a little difficulty here. I read you letter and am also looking
for Samuel Evans but there were too many coincidences with your letter I had
to answer and see if we were on the same track. The Samuel Evans that I have
had a daughter Dianna Rebecca, Samuel Evans's wifes name was Frances Sales
before he married her. Frances died in May 1865 of complications from
measles. Samuel and Frances were living in Botetourt Co. Va. at the time.
He later married Sarah Booker on December 17, 1866. On the marriage
liscense he states that he was born in Nelson Co. Va.. He sold all his
property here in Botetourt and moved. I don't know where but I think that he
moved to Amherst Co. which is where he was from when he moved to Botetourt.
Diana Rebecca (my GGGrandmother was previously married (also to a Sales, I
haven't been able to determine which one) and she married my
GGGrandfather, John Black, she lists herself as a widow on the marriage
books. By the way where is VanCastle, Va.

I believe that you have the name mixed up a little bit. It is Fincastle, Va.
as opposed to VanCastle. Fincastle is the county seat of Botetourt Co. and
is where the court house is with all the records. I did not see where Samuel
had died in Botetourt County. How were you able to find that information. I
have a record of where he sold his crops after he had married Sarah Booker.
He sold them in June 1868 and left the money to different persons that he
owed. How many children did he have by Sarah. Do you know where she is
buried. His daughter, my GGGrandmother (Diana Rebecca) is buried in Clifton
Forge, Va. I am not sure whether or not he had any other children with his
first wife or not.

Could this be the John BLACK & family living at residence # 413 in 1850
Botetourte Co., VA that married Dianna Rebecca Sales?

Black Ellis 33 M Farmer Virginia
Black Anna 33 F Virginia
Black July A. 7 F Virginia
Black Jeremiah 5 M Virginia
Black George W. 4 M Virginia
Black John W. 3 M Virginia
Black Allen D. 2 M Virginia

I completely missed the mark here. I failed to verify or document my
information. In a search of the 1850 census for Amherst Co., VA I found
this interesting entry;

1850 census, Amherst Co., VA, res # 329

Sale, Allice            66      F                  Germany
Sale, Beryn            36      M      Laborer      Germany
Sale, Frances J      24      F                  Germany
Sale, Granville      18      M      Laborer      Germany
Sale, Diannah            5      F                  Germany

this is the only family of SALE(S) with a Frances and Diannah, in the same
family with near correct ages. My first guess is that Diannah is a
grandchild of Allice. I will have to do some additional checking to figure
out the relationship of this family group. The only other SALE families in
Amherst during this census are;

Residence # 444
Sale William 51 M farmer
Sale Elvira
39 F
Sale Mary 15 F
Sale Thomas
13 M
Sale Joseph 12 M
