John Evans was the patriarch of many Evans and their descendants in America. He was born before 1665 in Radnorshire, Wales and died about 1713 in Chester County.
From the, Genealogy of Evans, Nivin and Allied Families, "A family named Evans, natives of Radnorshire, Wales landed in Philadelphia in the year 1695. It consisted of the parents, {this John}, two sons Roger and John, and the latter's wife Lydia and their daughter."
History records fail to reveal any more about this patriarch or his wife. {There is much about his sons Roger & John and their descendants.}
In 1725 the son John is shown to have donated land for establishing this churchyard. The Evans family had a very strong involvement with the original church. Records and grave markers have been found for many of the early Evans family.
However, no a record or marker for this John has been found. A flood in 1800 carried away many tombstones and fires destroyed church records, including grave location specifics. So given all of the circumstances it is most probable that the Patriarch was also buried here...
