I spent the last three days in Chester Co., Pa. searching for the origins of a John Evans and his family who appeared in Loudoun County, Virginia in 1763. If anyone is interested I did have some success and would gladly share the details. The family consisted of John Evans (father), Elizabeth (wife); sons: Griffith, William, Richard, David, and Joshua; daughters: Mary, Amy or Emmet who married a Thomas, and Elizabeth. John' will is in Loudoun County and is dated 10/4/1766. John purchased land in Charles Town Township, Chester Co., Pa in 1724 and lived there until 1763 when he moved with most of his family to Loudoun County, Va. He was a blacksmith, as were most of his sons. His sons David and Griffith Evans have wills in Tredyffrin Township, Chester County, Pa. I would be pleased to share with anyone interested in this family. If anyone knows more about them, particularly John's parentage, I would like to hear from them.
