Is there anyone on the list doing research on Richard EVANS Jr. who died in 1693. Was he descended from the Royal line Prince Modoc came from. Prince Modoc is said to have explored Alabama. Even though this is viewed as myth it make a pretty good tale to pass down to ones children. How can I get a copy of Richard Evans Jr.'s will? His wife Elizabeth married my 8thgreatgrandfather James Oates 11 Sept 1694 in Perquimans County NC. Richard and Elizabeth's children were Jonathan, Richard III, Rebecca, Ann, and Sarah. Old Albemarle County Perquimans Precinct Births, Marriages, Deaths, & Flesh Marks 1659-1820 shows Rebecca's d.b. as 1688. Yet there is a Transportation of Persons Form which shows that all of the oldest children were born before 15 Aug. 1678. Now does this mean the three oldest or Ann as well. Ann died in 1700. Jonathan and Richard died Jonathan in 1723 and Richard III in 1752 both in Chowan County I believe. I know nothing about where Rebecca and Ann were at the time of their deaths. After James's death in 1703 Elizabeth married Richard French. His will in 1716 names a wife Elizabeth as his Executor. Any help on this would be grateful. Thanks Le

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: rfw673 Surnames: Evans Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.evans/9739/mb.ashx Message Board Post: We are seeking anyinformation pretaining to the descendents of Prince Evans (circa 1829) who was born in Richmond County, Georgia. He spent most of his life in Hephzibah, Georgia. His sons were Nathan, Enoch (our great grandfather), Charlie, Ned, Jack and Prince, Jr. His wife was Emma Evans. We have only been able to determine that the family worshiped at the Franklin Covenant Baptist Church in Hephzibah and that they had a close relaionship with the Walker family. As best we know, Prince Evans,Sr. was a farmer. He may have worked for A. C. Cooper of Hephzibah. Cannot prove that at this point. His son Enoch became an ordained minister in 1892, relocated to NYC where he and two of his sisters-in-law founded a church. For reasons unknown, he returned to the Augusta are in 1910. We have no further information about him. Any information you can provide about Prince or Enoch, or any of the "Evans boys" will be greatly appreciated.

Gwynedd Friends Meeting Historical Notes Descendants of Ievan known as Evan Robert Lewis The Evans family of Gwynedd, Pennsylvania Generations: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Introduction from H.M. Jenkins (1897) It is intended to present, here, systematically, all the ascertained facts concerning Thomas, Robert, Owen, and Cadwallader Evans, of Gwynedd, and their descendants. The details given are by no means complete: some of the branches of the family could not be traced beyond the early generations; and in some cases information asked for was not furnished; yet the mass of facts given is extensive, and may serve as the basis for fuller work by any one who is particularly interested in the family. The origin of the Evans family, in Wales, is indicated by notes given on a following page by the late Mrs. William Parker Foulke, the ancestress of her husband having been the daughter of Robert Evans. Her facts are drawn from a very elaborate family document prepared by the late Rowland E. Evans, son of Cadwalader of Philadelphia. It traces the descent of the four brothers of Gwynedd back to Mervyn Vrych, King of Man, who was killed in battle with the King of Mercia, A.D. 843. Mervyn married Essylt, daughter and sole heiress of Conan Tyndaethwy, King of Wales (who d. 818 or 820.) Both Mervyn and Essylt traced their descent from Lludd, King of Britain, brother of Caswallon, the chief who resisted the invasion of Caesar, before the Christian era. Passing over, however, a number of intermediate generations, from Mervyn Vrych, the following may be noted: David Goch, of Penllech, appears to have been a lessee of crown lands in Caernarvonshire, in the 18th year of Edward II., and to have been living on November 9, 1314. He m. Maud, dau. of David Lloyd (who traced descent from Owen Gwynedd, Prince of Gwynedd), and had three sons, one being Ievan Goch, of Graianoc and Penllech, who appears as one of the jury to take the extent of the hundred of Cymytmaen, in 1352. His ownership of certain lands is shown in titles of that period. He m. Eva, dau. of Einion ap Cynvelyn (who traced descent from Bleddyn, Prince of Wales); and had two sons, the eldest being Madoc, who appears in the Cwn Amwich pedigree as "ancestor of the gentlemen of Ysbitty Evan," in Denbighshire. His son was Deikws ddu, who m. Gwen, dau. of Ievan ddu (who traced his descent to Maelor Crwn, head of the 7th of the noble tribes of Wales), and had a son Einion, who m. Morvydd, dau. of Matw ap Llowarch, and had a son Howel, who m. Mali, dau. of Llewellyn ap Ievan, and had a son, Griffith, who m. Gwenllian, dau. of Einion ap Ievan Lloyd, and had four children, the third being Lewis, who m. Ethli, dau. of Edward ap Ievan, and had six children, the fourth being Robert, who m. Gwrvyl, dau. of Llewellyn ap David, of Llan Rwst, Denbighshire, and had by her six sons and six daughters, the fourth being Ievan, known as Evan Robert Lewis. He was living, probably a young man, in 1601. He removed from Rhiwlas (or its neighborhood), in Merionethshire, to Fron Goch (probably in Denbighshire), and there passed the remainder of his life. He had five sons, all taking for themselves, in the Welsh manner, the surname ap Evan. Generation No. 1 IEVAN KNOWN AS EVAN ROBERT10 LEWIS (ROBERT AP9, LEWIS AP8 GRIFFITH, GRIFFITH AP7 HOWELL, HOWEL AP6 EINION, EINION AP DEIKWS5 DDU, DEIKWS DDU AP4 MADOC, MADOC AP IEVAN3 GOCH, IEVAN GOCH AP DAVID OF GAIANOC AND2 PENLLECH, DAVID GOCH OF1) was born in Rhiwlas, Merionethshire, and died in Fron Goch, Denbighshire. He married Jane ap Cadwalader. H.M. Jenkins: From the sons of Evan Robert Lewis, many of the Welsh settlers of Pennsylvania were descended. John ap Evan, it is stated, had several children, and one account says that two of them were William John, of Gwynedd (the purchaser, with Thomas Evans, of the township), and Griffith John, of Merion, (who d. 1707). This would make William John and Thomas Evans first cousins, and such a relationship is very probable. Cadwalader ap Evan, the second son of Evan Robert Lewis, it is stated, left no children. "Of Griffith ap Evan nothing is known." The descendants of Owen ap Evan are very numerous; they form the Owen family, the posterity of Robert (and Jane) Owen, of Merion, who came from Wales in 1690, and d. 1697; and the Cadwalader family are his descendants also, in the female line. Editor's note from the year 2002: Recently we have seen an internet line that says that the 1698 ap Hugh and ap Griffith families are descendants of Griffith ap Evan (see preceding paragraph). This line goes as follows. The Hugh ap Griffith who settled near Spring House is the son of Griffith ap Hugh. The Robert ap Hugh (married Sarah Evans) and Evan ap Hugh who settled near the present borough of North Wales are the sons of Griffith ap Hugh. The ap Hugh surname is now Pugh. According to our internet source, other children of Hugh ap Griffith include Ellen, Griffith, Edward and David (m. Mary Catherine Price).This is a different Pugh family than the family of Ellis Pugh of Merion and later Plymouth who was a Quaker minister. Both Pugh families seem to have largely migrated to Virginia (Loudoun, Frederick, Hampshire counties) and points south in the early 1700s. See Peugh family history for more. There is an extensive Welsh genealogy for this family on-line at http://www.mathematical.com/lewisrobert1555.html. It appears to have hundreds if not thousands of names going back to the early middle ages for several lines. It also supplies some missing names for spouses. According to this genealogy the spouse of Evan Robert Lewis is Jane verch Cadwalader (with more ancestors for Jane provided). Children of IEVAN KNOWN AS EVAN ROBERT LEWIS and Jane ap Cadwalader are: 2. i. EVAN AP11 EVANS, b. Abt. 1625, Wales. 3. ii. JOHN AP EVAN. iii. CADWALADER AP EVANS. iv. GRIFFITH AP EVANS. 4. v.

H.M. Jenkins (1897): Several copies of the Evans Family Record, begun in 1797, by Cadwalader Evans, son of Rowland are extant. This record was used in compiling the genealogy. Evan ap Evan was the father of the four brothers who came to Gwynedd in 1698 (and of Sarah, their sister, who came with them and m. Robert Pugh). He was twice married; by his first wife he had two daughters, by his second four sons. Children of EVAN AP EVANS are: 5. i. ROBERT12 EVANS, b. Abt. 1658, Wales; d. March 1737/38, PA. 6. ii.

Notes for THOMAS EVANS: Along with William John, Thomas in 1697 came ahead of the rest of the Welsh party and purchased Gwynedd twp from Robert Turner. Thus, the other settlers received deeds from him and John in 1699 for their land. He settled in 1698 on the land in today's Upper Gwynedd township just above Swedesford Road. His property extended from Swedesford Road to Prospect Ave (North Wales) and from the Whitpain to the Montgomery twp. lines. See his land patent as given by H.M. Jenkins. An old Evans home stands today where he lived about a half mile up Sumneytown Pike from the Meetinghouse (before one gets to the borough of North Walses) on the northeast side of the road. H.M. Jenkins (1897): eldest of the four brothers, he immigrated from Wales in 1698.

He married ANNE REYNALD. Note: Howard Jenkins (1897) has the son of John ap Evan as the William John of Gwynedd, but the editor has chosen this alternate line instead. However, I am not expert on either line, and am guessing that this more modern (i.e. from the internet, 2001) line has some substantiation, as otherwise it appears to follow Jenkins.

Notes for ROBERT CADWALLADER: Came to PA about 1700, but he and his wife did not survive long here. He is referred to as "late of Gwynedd" in the marriage certificate of his daughter Elizabeth. Tradition is that none of the Roberts were Friends at the time of their immigration, but that they joined with the Friends about 1700, soon after immigrating.

JOHN14 HANK, b. 1712, Whitpain twp., Montgomery Co., PA; d. 1780, Rockingham Co., VA. Notes for JOHN HANK: H.M. Jenkins (1897): "The precise name of the head of the Hank family who thus removed, is uncertain, but Mr. David Lincoln, of Birdsboro, Berks county, in a letter to me, September 1883, thinks it was John, and says: 'He lived on the Perkiomen turnpike, six miles east of Reading, in Exeter township, and within half a mile of Mordecai Lincoln, great-great-grandfather of the President. This John Hank, with John and Benjamin Lincoln, moved to Fayette county, and from there Mr. Hank went southward.' As to a removal, first, to Fayette county, I do not know; but as has already been noted (p. 208), John Hank was in Rockingham county, Va., at least as early as 1787, when his daughter Hannah married Asa Lupton. That this John was the one described by Mr. Lincoln is probable, or he may have been a son of the Berks county man, for the latter was in all probablility the same John Hank who was born 1712, the son of the Whitemarsh yeoman and Sarah Evans of Gwynedd." [ed. Note, 2001: It is now thought that son Joseph Hank is the ancestor of Abraham Lincoln who moved to Virginia.] Editors note, 2002: John Hank married Margaret Williams (1721-abt 1787) probably in Berks Co., PA. Margaret was the daughter of Thomas Williams and Jane Richard. Their children were John, Caleb, William (m. Susannah Berry), Margaret (m. William Cherrington), and Hannah (m. Asa Lupton) of Rockingham Co., VA (see Wallace Ewing's Rootsweb Worldconnect database). http://users.erols.com/condrada/: "Mordecai Lincoln's son John and Joseph's brother, John, became fast friends and both eventually migrated to Augusta county, Virginia (now Rockingham) in the early 1770s. The children of Joseph Hanks, his brother John, and Michael Ludwig all became friends, so it was natural that a marriage would occur among them." 62. ii. JANE HANKS, b.

She was a widow, Ann Bennett of Abington, when she married Rowland Roberts, and removed to Gwynedd. The memorial of Gwynedd Monthly Meeting , in the 1787 Collection says: 'her first coming among us [1705-1710] was seasonable, for we having few ministers, the field before her was extensive, in which she labored fervently. ' Her usefulness in drawing out younger ministers is noted, and it is added that "she went pretty much abroad, visting Friends in this and the adjacent provinces, to wit, the Jerseys, Maryland, Virginia and Carolina, accompanied to the remotest parts by her near and dear friend Susanna Morris. In her more advanced years she visited Great Britain, accompanied by our esteemed friend Mary Pennel. After her return she met with great difficulties in respect to her outward circumstanc! es, which she sustained with Christian fortitude. After this, she met with a very heavy affliction in the loss of her husband, which she likewise bore with becoming resignation. She suffered from the dropsy near the close of her life. (H.M.

I have added a button for "Other Evans Lines". This is where I will add your info. Put your Evans Family Genealogy report in a Word document. Send it to me and I will add it. To put your Family Tree Maker into a Word document do the following: 1. Open your Evans family tree in the Genealogy Report. 2. Select "Edit" 3. Select "Copy" 4. Select "Copy Genealogy Report" 5. Paste it into a Word document 6. Save it 7. Email it to me I have a few added to it now. .pdf files don't work.

This is like a gift to me from the universe. I've been working so very hard since my trip on producing a home made "book" of my recent pilgrimage to our Evans Ancestral Homeland from St. Louis. In fact this morning I am working with the rough draft. It is 100 pages long. You can be sure there will be an addendum with your email, crediting your graciousness and including the Bible. Aren't digital cameras wonderful? They allow almost perfect reproduction without injuring the delicate artifacts in any way [as a copy machine can]. How can I express my appreciation for your sharing this with us? ... I'd love to find out who else is researching Richard. I am waiting for Rootsweb to complete my application for an Evans list separate from the general Evans list we belong to. Mine will be named EVANS-MDPAKYOHINLA@rootsweb.com to reflect our particular line. In fact, I'll just forward the announcement of it that I made to relatives near and far. I am all about sharing. There was a member of our family who "hoarded" the family bible of my G Grandfather, George Robinson Evans and his wife, Parolee Doss. When that person died someone kindly took digital photos of the information and that was a major breakthrough for our family research. I can't understand someone hoarding information on DNA that runs in the blood of others. Please understand how very overwhelmed I am by this revelation and by your kindness. It just blows me away! I'm including my Evans cousin in this email who met me in Kentucky and shared this pilgrimage with me. She will be delighted to hear about the digital photos you have sent. I was in the very museum you saw the Bible in just one week ago today! No one there mentioned its existence. I could have taken the digital photos myself [but then I wouldn't have gotten to "meet" you.] They were all so busy getting ready for some event that I guess they didn't think to let us know. Whatever, thanks to you we now have the information. Renée ps... More thoughts occurring: I, too, am surprised by the Catholic Bible bit..... I had thought they were all staunch Presbyterians. Wonder what was going on there? Many of the Evanses in New Orleans are Catholic... might have something to do with the partners they married; perhaps some of them were Catholic. Now.... if I could just find a Bible for Richard and Samuel who lived in Maryland and Pennsylvania! We might really make some progress in finding out where the Evanses came from in Wales.
