riginal research documenting family history that Evan Sr., wife, Mary, and 4 children arrived from Pembroke Wales by 1720. Settled in Hilltown by 1721; Evan died and buried New Britain Baptist Church cemetery. Death is recorded January 1, 1766 although it may have occurred much earlier. Only known children were Richard, Joseph, Evan, and Diana. He was the first Evan in Hilltown and New Britain. However, there were others in the surrounding areas then and later in New Britain.There is no indication anywhere of any children beyond the four who came from Wales with Evan and Mary. It is very possible that Sarah, his 3rd wife, was the sister of Edward Farmar (see below) who was past childbearing age. This is the culmination of years of research. Please evaluate my conclusions for yourself. After consultations with various genealogical experts and my own research I feel confident his Bucks county death is well established and other details of Evan Sr.'s family are correct.
