Wesley G Evans Family History

I'm up against a brick wall and don't know what to do.

My ancestor is Wesley Griffin Evans Sr. His information is as follows:


WESLEY GRIFFIN EVANS
BORN
16 September 1818 Chickasahay, Greene County,Mississippi

DIED
16 November 1901 Mississippi

BURIED Coalville Cemetery Woolmarket, Mississippi

MARRIED 1
27 February 1842 Harrison County, Mississippi

MARRIED 2
30 January 1847 Harrison County, Mississippi
SPOUSE 1
Amelia Lucetta Woodruff
CHILDREN
Wesley Griffin Evans Jr


SPOUSE 2
Susannah Carter
CHILDREN
Mary Elizabeth Evans
Susan P. Evans
William Evans
Louisa Evans
Thomas Evans
Anna Evans

I have been searching and wondering for years who his mother and father are. Some say his fathers name was Thomas. But with so many Thomas Evans' on the census records, where do I start? My son found a Nathaniel Evans on Ancestry.com. They say he is Wesley's father but the dates don't match up.

If you have any information that might help me fill in the gaps, it would be appreciated.
