Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Descendants of David Evans of Charlestown, Mass: To Which Is Appended Partial Records of Certain Families Connected With Them by Marriage This is the name of an extensive family connection or clan of Celtic or ancient British blood, in Wales. Through intermarriages with Anglo saxon and Norman families, their descendants have become essentially English. In the works of Thomas Dick D.D., the writer speaks of John Evans, an eminent Welsh divine. The name of the present Lord Mayor of London is Sir David Evans recently knighted. Many of the name emigrated to this country, and their descendants are found in nearly every State in the Union. A former United States Senator from Maine was George Evans. His emigrant ancestor was Daniel Evans, who settled in Allenstown N. H., about 1752. The progenitor of the line under consideration in this volume was David Evans of Charlestown, Mass. Efforts to trace his ancestry have so far been unavailing. Some of his descendants believed him to have been the emigrant ancestor; but this remains a matter of uncertainty. Many facts in the history of the family I obtained in my youth from long talks with Capt. William Evans, grandson of David of Charlestown, and my great-uncle. Capt. William was the first white malehorn in Fryeburg, Me. He died in 1855 at the age of ninety years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
