Nathaniel Evans was born in 1742 at Wales. He served in the New York Militia as a Private in the 20th Regiment Albany County Militia commanded by Colonel Jacobus Van Schoonhoven.

He married Mary Thomas (1746-1826); children: Sarah b. 1773, Simmion b. 1776 and Amy. He died at 78 years of age in 1820 and was buried in Mound Cemetery at Marietta, Washington County, Ohio. He has an SAR marker. Cemetery Notes: The Mound Cemetery was established in 1801 by the citizens of Marietta, Ohio, to preserve an Ohio Hopewell burial mound dating from 100 BC to 500 AD, and provide for settler burials. After the Revolutionary War, the area along the Ohio River and Marietta attracted many veterans rewarded with land grants. General Rufus Putnam donated land for the cemetery. The cemetery is thought to have the largest number of Revolutionary War officer burials, among other important Ohio River pioneer settlers and Northwest Territory politicians. Burials continue to today despite the limited space. DAR, Patriot Index Centennial Edition, Part 1, pg. 972.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
