West Cork History 
The Evansons in Antigua were undoubtedly members of the County Cork family, and are generally well-documented. However, there was another family on Barbados which was descended from one Nathaniel, born around 1694. Their relationship is not clear, but the coincidence of names and other circumstantial evidence suggests that they were also linked.
