Seems a bit of a stretch but anything's possible so here goes.
My grandfather's family (as far as I can trace) came from Waterbury, Connecticut having previously lived in Canada. If I can believe what I've been told and confirmed through census records, they emigrated from France to somewhere in eastern Canada. The only proof I have of their French descent was a grave marker (the temporary metal kind) that my grandfather asked be buried WITH him around 1976 bearing the name Etideau IVON (b.about 1869, d.12June1902 at age 33 in Waterbury, CT), supposedly his mother who's buried in Waterbury. My grandfather's sisters included Emma, Sophia, Rosa, Nina, Melvina and Ida. There were also 2 children born AFTER my grandfather (1900) but I have no names for either. George's father - John, wife Jane Laduke - both listed in Waterbury, CT census for 1900 as FRENCH CANADIANS, not naturalized citizens. Name of the town was Thomaston, CT, and according to the 1900 census Jane had 13 LIVING children.
Hope this helps and we ARE on the same track since there are so few with the EVON surname. I've been trying to track them for YEARS!
Also, I've got names: Lewis, Henrietta, Henry, Frank, Samuel and Herman that my aunts recall hearing but can't put with a parent, etc. Any clues????
