• Notes

  Also called Syntha. From the unusual name of her son Willis Sumeral Evans, it seems circumstantially likely that she was a daughter of Sumeral Whitaker, who was born 12 May 1801 in Fairfield, New Jersey and died 18 Sep 1864 in Mahaska County, Iowa, and his wife Mary Bloom. According to the research notes of Robert Evans posted 4 Dec 2014 to ancestry.com, the "1850 Census of Mahaska County, Iowa lists: John J. D. Evans age 24 bn England, cabinet maker; Cynthia age 19 bn OH, married with the year; Willis F. age 1 bn IA. (Two doors down in dwelling 753 are Jacob and Rachel John -- Rachel is Cynthia's aunt. Father Summerel is in dwelling 810 on page 214)." This would seem adequate proof that Cynthia Whitwaker was a daughter of Sumeral Whitaker.
