I am trying to find info on Thomas Mitchell Evins, b) 1820. He was the son of John Leroy Evins of NC who moved to Atlanta GA about 1820 and purchased a lot of land in DeKalb Co. Thomas married Emiline (Emily) Collier and had a family of 9 children. He was listed in Gordon Co, GA 1850 Census.
The story goes that he shot and killed James Lowery Jr in DeKalb Co, GA abt 1852 over some land. I am trying to verify this fact. He is stated to have left his family and moved to Texas where he served in the Texas Calvary during the Civil War.
Does anyone have any info? I am willing to share my info.
