36 OAK—OAKS—OAKES Exeter, from Vermont in 1810 to visit her sister Abip:ail, and there she spent her life, being the last survivor of the family. The story of her early experiences and marriage, with the career of her husband, a pioneer physician, is a most fascinating one, but too long for this record, as is the eulogy that might truthfully be given to this noble couple. If Mrs. Evans ever had any faults her most intimate friends never discovered them. Her sister Betsy spent her later years at her home. IV. CHILDREN OF JOHN' (27) AND ABIGAIL LAM- BERT. 79. Sarah.
