He married Ella Carter Evans on 16 Sep 1896, Rowan County, Kentucky. They had four children according to the obituary of wife Ella, dated 9 Mar 1905. Their children were:

- Reva F Evans Chamberlain 1897-1988
- Rollie W Evans 1899-1978 (twin)
- Ruth Vinfred Evans Elam 1899-1972 (twin)
- Leliah Evans Williams 1903-1923

His wife, Ella F Carter Evans, a music teacher, died 5 March 1905 from consumption. He died after her about 1905-1906. After his death, their four children were adopted by family and perhaps stayed with brother Dr Thomas Asa Edward Evans at different times.

In 7 Dec 1893, it was reported that Francis Marion Evans went to Cincinnati to join brother Asa in medical school. Dr F M Evans was listed as a physician in the 1900 Census of Farmers, Rowan County, Kentucky. He joined the medical practice of his father-in-law, Dr. Francis Marion Carter, who was listed as a neighbor in the same 1900 Census of Farmers, Rowan County, Kentucky. They practiced out of their homes.

Place of death could have been in Rowan, Bath or Fleming County, KY, but location is unknown. However, it was reported that he died from small pox, but there is no proof.

Family history states that he went out West to help with the smallpox epidemic, caught smallpox himself and died. He did not get the small pox vaccination as suggested by his brother Dr TAE Evans. Burial unknown.

He is the son of Raleigh Marion Evans Jr 1853-1876 and Katherine Prudence Maxey 1842-1903.

I do not have any additional information on his life nor death. Please contact the contributor if you have more information.
