Special Schedule 1890 census Surviving Soldiers, Sailors and Marines and Widows etc. who survived the war of the rebellion. Our Charles Evans is third on the list. |
Charles Evans II was born in 1842. The first timeI found him was in the 1850 census. This was the first census that they identfied every member of the family. Before that, they named the head of the house and listed every other person by sex and age group and race or free or slave status. I believe in 1850 they started using a separate form for slaves. The next time I see him is in the 1860 census, still with his parents.
I could not find him or his father in the 1870 census, I will have to try ivins or ivings I have found them listed like that before if I remember correctly. I did find Julia Pryor. Julia is listed with a few children so I m not sure if Pryor is a married or maiden name so we have to find some more answers before we can be sure of her status.
In 1880 I find Charles and Julia with their childen. The 1890 census was destroyed but luckily the 1890 schedule of civil war vets was not and I found that our Charles Evans served for 1 year 1863 - 1864 in the Union Navy abord a vessel called the Wallkill.
| Charles Evans | 1844 |
| Julia (Pryor) Evans | 1842 |
| Elizabeth Evans | 1862 |
| Thomas Evans | 1871 |
| Nancy Jane Evans | 1872 |
| Agnes Ann Evans | 1873 may |
| Mary Jane Evans | 1875 |
| Stansbury Evans | 1877 mar |
| Lola Evans | 1883 jan |
| Henry Evans | 1887 oct |
| Albert Evans | 1888 dec |
Above is a list of the family that is composed of the 1880 census which goes to Stansbury and the rest I must have found on the 1900 census which I can't seem to find now.

I'm posting this conversation between cousin Nancy and myself so the rest of you can get you two cents in or do some research on the subject of the civil war record of Charles Evans.

Hello. I went digging to find out about the Wallkill ship. I found a list of all ships that were in the civil war. This ship name was not listed. But I did find a Wallkill Regiment. See Attached Document and let me know what you think?

I also looked for the ship or boat called Wallkill without success. It definitely says he was a seaman and this regiment from New York State doesn't really feel like a good fit to me.

I'd be inclined to take the info we have and look in the military records for more. This may or may not be possible online but at least we have the name of a vessel and the year so it should't be too difficult if more records exist.
