Evan was a veteran of the War of 1812. In November 1814 he was drafted as a private into the Fifth Regiment of the Tennessee Militia. Military records list him as 18 years old and six feet tall with black hair and dark brown eyes. His regiment spent the next few months on an expedition into Alabama to fight Indians who were allies of the British. In May 1815 he returned home and was discharged, voting in Roane County later that year.
During his lifetime Evan had three wives and twelve children, six boys and six girls. He married his first wife, Elizabeth Price, in May 1817, but she died eleven months later, probably in childbirth, as their only son was born in 1818. In 1820 he married Elizabeth Jenkins, and they had three daughters and a son before her death in 1831. Then in 1831 he married Mary Ann Jenkins, and together they had four sons and three daughters, the last being born in 1853 when Evan was 58 years old.
