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.
