- Nathan Evans, a younger brother of General Evans, and a grand-son of the first old Nathan, was 'born in 1805 ; was a worthy man and an excellent citizen ; a gentleman of fine taste, affable and very popular with everybody; he married a Miss Baker, below Marion, a daughter of William and. Annise Baker ; by whom he had four children, two sons, William B. and Nathan, and two daughters, Lizzie and Ann Eliza. The Baker wife died. After a reasonable time, he married again. Miss Harriet Braddy, of upper Marion; by her he had four children, two sons, Julius and Lawrence, and two daughters, Martha, called "Pat," and Fannie. His second wife died about 1878 or 1879, of cancer; she suffered for a long time the most intense agonies. He married no more, lived on his farm until 12th February, 1885, when he, too, passed away.
...
Richard Jordan, of Horry, married Miss "Pat" Evans, and after the failure of the mercantile firm of Jordan & Evans, as above indicated, Mr. Jordan remained' in Marion a few years, variously engaged, and then removed to Georgia and started a business there (turpentine and merchandise) , at which, it is said, he has succeeded well. He has a considerable family, seven daughters and one son. Mr. Jordan is a first-rate business man, full of push and energy —'by no means an idler ; if he cannot succeed at one thing, he tries another ; he tries again and does not give up. ;
