DOB is estimated based on census records and other family members' DOBs.

Maria was born in Ohio about 1838, the daughter of Patrick & Elizabeth (Brown) McCauley. Her family moved to Fairfield, Jefferson Co., Iowa by the time she was 3. She married John Evans (originally from PA) in April 1855 in Jefferson Co. IA. Their only [known] child Ida Belle Evans (went by Belle) was born in Van Buren Co., IA between 1859-1862.

Probate records show Mariah died 2 Feb 1882 in Appanoose Co., IA. Her daughter, [listed as] Belle 'Layerd' [correct spelling 'Laird'] was named as her only heir. Because of that, and her residence at the time of her death, it's assumed that she and John Evans (1832 - 1902) were no longer [living] together.

Mariah McCauley Evans is my 3rd great-grandmother. I am attempting to map out our family tree, so any information on her or her family would be greatly appreciated. You can post on my Find a Grave wall (user name: ELL) or send a private email using the link on my wall.
