Clifton of the Covington Republican, 1913 B.F. Bowen & Company, Indianapolis, Indiana Pages 51 and 52 Judge Ristine......On our journey to our new home in the wilderness, and while stopping for the night on the bank of White River, west of Indianapolis, a family by the name of Evans, from Augusta county, Virginia, was encountered. Here, of course, an aquaintance was made. Mr. Evans had never been out of the old Dominion state before until this time when he had started for the West, and knew not where he would go or where would be his stopping place. The family was pretty well prepared. Mr. Evans had a good four-horse team and comfortable clothing, and four or five hundred dollars in ready money. After the interview of the night Mr. Evans concludes that where my father went he would go, and these camps were built for the comfort of both families. Although in December, the weather became settled, clear, and (for that month) warm. My father at once set about the erection of what was known as a double log cabin. Mr. Evans, with three boys, and my father, with three, went to work, and by Christmas we had our cabin so near complete with clapboard roof, puncheon floors, chinking and daubing done, that we got out of camp into what we regarded as a pretty respectable dwelling. My father aided to the Evans in the selection of land which he entered adjoining our land. Mr. Evans, after abiding comfortably in the camp all winter, built a cabin in the spring of 1827 on his own land, where for years after the two families lived as kind neighbors. Within the range of three miles there were settled Abner Bush, John Simpson, William Cochran, Hiram Jones, Benjamin Kepner, Joseph Glasscock, Thomas Patten, Captain White and Leonard Lloyd, all of whom gave us a kind greeting and hearty welcome. White at this point the peculiarities of my old friend, Jesse Evans, will be noticed. As has been stated, he had never been out of Virginia until he made his break for the west. Mr. Evans was a man not wholly without education. He could read, wrote a good legible hand, with a fair common arithmetic knowledge, such as to fit him for the ordinary business life. He had no fixed political ideas, and his association with my father, I think, had much to do in making him a Democrat........
