    Notes:

    Affectionately called "Preacher Dick", he was received into the White Oak Flats Baptist Church in October of 1839 "by experience". In October of 1843, he was granted the right "to exercise a public gift wherever his lot Should be Cast." He was ordained at the church on the 27th of October 1846 "through the assistance of Brothers Isaac Kimbro and Eli Roberts as presbytery..." (Church minutes book of White Oak Flats Baptist Church). This began his long and fruitful service to the Lord and his fellow man.

    Beside the Gatlinburg Church, he served New Salem Church, Lebanon in the Glades, Friendship in Greenbrier, the Hills Creek Church and at both Evan's Chapel No. 1 and 2. He also made visits to the Indians in North Carolina. Dr. Burnett, in his book about pioneer ministers credited Richard Evans with converting more than 10,000 souls to Christ and personally baptizing more than 1,800 persons.

    Samuel Ownby told of his grandmother's love of the mountains. His parents, James and Sophia Evans Ownby along with his grandparents, Martha and Jacob Evans had moved to Copperhill, Tennessee. Martha yearned for the mountains so much, she started walking home. Jacob and James rode after her and finally persuaded her to stay until they made their harvest that year. She held them to their promise and they returned that fall to the Smokies.

    Census records verify the story above mentioned. They are listed in the 1850 Federal Census of Gilmer County, Georgia, right near the state line of Tennessee and Georgia.
