The Hunt For Robert Evans 1845~1877

This Coffin for Robert Evans is a rather interesting one as it has a photo of Robert glued to the back. It is also a nice example of this particular design as it is in good condition. The engraving is perhaps not the best quality but it has a nice look to it all the same.

Died

Dec 15th 1877

Robert Evans

Aged 32 Yrs

The first thing I did was go and have a look in the death records on Ancestry.com but I could not spot Robert. Then I went and had a hunt in the 1870 United States Federal Census as this would have been the last census that Robert would have been in before his death in 1877. I found about 25 Robert Evans in the census but of course I had no idea if one was my Robert. Now most coffin plates are from the North East United States. The custom of keeping them after the funeral was most common in States like Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Maine. The farther away from the North East you get the less common they become. So with this in mind I discarded all the Roberts from States that the custom of keeping coffin plates was not that popular. Of course we have no guarantee Robert was not from the one of the States I discarded but statistically its unlikely.  This resulted in a list of about 16 candidates.

1870 United States Federal Census     

Robert Evans, Union, Porter, Indiana abt 1844 Ohio 

Robert Evans, Fair Haven, Rutland, Vermont abt 1844 Wales 

Robert Evans, New York Ward 8 District 10 (2nd Enum), New York, New York abt 1844 Ireland 

Robert Evans, Israel, Preble, Ohio abt 1844 Ohio 

Robert Evans, Buffalo Ward 4, Erie, New York abt 1845 Ireland 

Robert S Evans, Hempstead, Queens, New York abt 1845 New York 

Robert Evans, Lincoln, New Hanover, North Carolina abt 1845 North Carolina 

Robert Evans, Allegheny Ward 3, Allegheny, Pennsylvania abt 1845 Pennsylvania 

Robert M Evans, Centre, Union, Indiana abt 1846 Ohio 

Robert H Evans, Marion, Hamilton, Iowa abt 1846 Indiana 

Robert Evans, Pottawatomie, Pottawatomie, Kansas abt 1846 Pennsylvania 

Robert Evans, Lyons, Ionia, Michigan abt 1846 Ireland 

Robert Evans, Washington, Osage, Missouri abt 1846 Missouri 

Robert Evans, Marshall, Saline, Missouri abt 1846 Missouri 

Robert Evans, Rockfish, Cumberland, North Carolina abt 1846 North Carolina 

Robert Evans, Portsmouth Ward 1, Scioto, Ohio abt 1846 Wales 

 I then went and had a look in the 1880 United States Federal Census. As the Robert I am looking for died in 1877 I can subtract any of the Roberts who are on the 1880 Census from the 1870 Census.

Robert Evans Pottawatomie, Pottawatomie, Kansas abt 1846 Pennsylvania
Robert H. Evans Elisibeth Medicine, Rooks, Kansas abt 1846 Indiana Self (Head)
Robert M. Evans Ellena Buffalo, Erie, New York abt 1847 Ireland Self (Head)
Robert J. Evans Mary B. Johnstown, Fulton, New York abt 1847 New York Self (Head)
Robert Evans Mary A. Murray, Clarke, Iowa abt 1847 Iowa Self (Head)
Robert G. Evans Mary Jackson, Maries, Missouri abt 1847 Missouri Self (Head)
Robert L. Evans Jennie Jersey City, Hudson, New Jersey abt 1847 New York Self (Head)

So a quick comparison brought the list down to 13 candidates. No guarantee that the Robert I am looking for is on this list but its a start.

The Coffin Plate Of Rebecca Starkie 1797~1868

Today I am adding the coffin plate of Rebecca Starkie 1797~1868. From what I can find it looks like Rebecca lived in Keene, Cheshire, New Hampshire. She is living with Benjamin P Starkey age 53. This Benjamin is probably her husband but he is 10 years younger so one would need to look for more info.

1860 United States Federal Census

Name: Rebecah L Starkey
Age in 1860: 63
Birth Year: abt 1797
Birthplace: Massachusetts
Home in 1860: Keene, Cheshire, New Hampshire
Household Members: Name Age
Benjamin P Starkey 53
Rebecah L Starkey 63

I then went and had a look at the 1850 United States Federal Census
and found them in Quincy, Norfolk, Massachusetts.
