Description
Evans Corneal was taken from Boone County to Chariton County, MO in 1857, and escaped in 1863 or 1864 with two other men. He settled in Hiawatha, Kansas. He returned to Missouri for his wife and children after the close of the war and brought them back to Hiawatha. He died in 1923, and is buried in Mt. Hope Cemetery, Hiawatha, KS. His name is possibly a derivative of "Carneal," but he may have been sold to another slaveholder in Boone County before moving to MO.
