Well-known Virginia historian Emory G. Evans, University of Maryland,
Emeritus, died on Sunday, 20 October 2009, but I have not found an
obituary to post along with the news of the recent deaths of Don
Higginbotham, Bill Abbot, and Merrill Peterson.
 
Evans' new book, A Topping People, an in-depth study of the elite
families of eighteenth-century Virginia, was published this spring, but
he unfortunately did not live long enough to read any reviews of his
work, the culmination of a lifelong study of colonial Virignia and
Virginians.
