Here is from the Richard Evans Bible. I can send you a photo copy. It was owned ca 1977 by Ola Parton Shrader. She is now deceased, but I am sure that her family still has the Bible. They lived on Douglas Dam Rd. in Sevierville.

Margaret Elizabeth L Parton
was Bornd June the 10 1866
James Monroe Partin was born
September 18th 1868 and died March
the 1st 1864 aged 5 month and 12 days
Then penciled in so faint tht I can't make it out in the photocopy is Tilman Parton born June....18...
There may be another name in pencil after Tilman. Will look that up later. (Tilman Parton was actually the son of Sarah Evans Parton and James Madison Maples. She had other children out of wedlock also. While still married to her Albert Huston Parton went to Harlan, KY, and married again to a Pace. He dropped his last name and went by the name “Albert Huston.”)
I have that elsewhere in my notes. Sarah had children after Albert Huston Parton and she separated. They went by Parton. I have papers from a Federal Inquiry held in Emerts Cove. She was trying to get a pension, but she couldn't prove that he was dead. The inquiry found that he probably was dead, but she did not get the pension because of her character. Actually, Albert Huston Parton was still alive and showed up later in Sevier Co. TN and claimed his pension. I have never found him after 1860 until then. (He has been found by me since that time! Doris Noland Parton!)
Third page of Bible records
Richard Evans and Catharine
was Marred March the 26 1812
Albert H Partin was Marred
in the year of our Lord January
the 28 1858
Catherine M Partin
was Borned October the 30th 1858
(That is an interesting note since Catherine's birth was already given on the second page. I guess they were just making sure that people knew that they were married Jan 28 and had a baby Oct the 30th-9months after the marriage!)
Additional info:
Tillman Parton's father was not Albert Huston Parton. He is believed to be a son of a Maples. (It was James Madison Maples. There is a huge pension file on him at the Sevierville Library.) I will have to pull out the inquiry papers to get the Maples name. The Maples man admitted that he had slept with Sarah, he lived with her daughter Mary J Francis Parton, and he then married a granddaughter of Sarah's. All this is in the inquiry.

I need to weed through the huge Evans folder, and I will be glad to share with you any thing that I have that will help in your research.
