fact sources and writings about Benjamin Evernham:Neoma Jane

burial: Me Church Bayville, NJ

2Records show spelling "Naomi", family sources say this (more normal anglo name) may have been a way to help hide the fact that she was an indian, due to possible harsh treatment in that era. They also say that her name was spelled "Neoma", so that is the spelling I used here.
