Other Events and Attributes:

• Will: 2 Jan 1772, East Bradford, Chester Co, Pennsylvania

Notes:

We do not know the parentage of Evan Jones. There was more than one Evan Jones in Chester County in this time frame. We have eliminated immigrants Rees Jones and Cadwalader Jones as parent possibilities. The name Jones in Chester County seems to stem from the Welsh "John" and with the Welsh naming pattern might have been "Evan son of John..."(some other surname). Since Evan was also a Welsh surname, it could also be the reverse!

Evan Jones may also have come directly from England with a group to purchase land, as a 1703 land deed for 1665 acres in Goshen, Chester County, refers to land late of "...Evan Jones & Company...." This land had been granted by William Penn's commissioners. This land also adjoined land "late of Evan Jones." (This land of course may not have belonged to our Evan!). We do know from his will that Evan Jones had a sister Jane Jones Benson. Jane Benson also signed as family at the wedding of daughter Mary Jones.
