Since the first news article is dated in 1908 mentioning "New Tremont", would you guess that to be about the time when the area ceased to be known as Stonecrossroads?
What is the relation of Mr. Evans to my paternal Great grandmother, Susan Florence "Sukey" Evans Robinson? bettye
Bettye, I was intrigued by the "new Tremont" reference too - not sure what it means. John T. Evans was Sukey's brother, older brother by two years. Do you see any family resemblance?
Mona, I can't say that I see the resemblance as the only pictures of Grandma Susan shows her to be a little butterball! sitting in the straight back chair on her front porch doing embroidery or crocheting! - two of her pastimes.
Besides my Granny Kate Robinson Stone, I remember quite well siblings Luna R. Lawhon McRae, Belle R. Crane, Walter "Walt", John Clifford "Cliff", Egbert "Bert" Robinson, all children of Sukey and Henry Johnson Robinson. All other children died before I was born or so early in my infancy that I have no memory of any of them.bettye
