Peter Chalmers Evans and John Morehead Evans were twin sons of Peter G. Evans and his wife Ann Eliza Morehead. They were grandsons of Governor John Motley Morehead and his wife Ann Eliza Lindsay. Peter died when a little over a year old, and the inscription on his tombstone reads:

"Two little birds immortal winged
Once by our Fathers love was given
One nestles on our bosom still
The other waits for us in Heaven."

The gravestone depicts a bird flying and another in a nest. Peter's twin, John Morehead Evans, died at age 5, and was buried next to his brother.
