Biography

Thomas was a Friend (Quaker)

Name: Thomas Evans Reference Number: 7248 Sex: M Birth: NOV 1664 in Banbury, Oxford, England Death: 1693 Note: Thomas was born around November 1664. He was the son of William Evans and Jane Hodges. He passed away in 1692.

In 1691, 400 acres were surveyed for Thomas Evans "at the Indian town of Quoexin on one of the branches of Rankokus Creek." This farm was located near the village of Sandtown about one mile and a half south of Medford.

He (Thomas) died in 1693, apparently not having moved to his new plantation as his will reads, "Thomas Evans of Willingborough."

A 400 acre tract at "Coexing" was listed in the inventory of his estate. The plantation was inherited by his daughter, Sarah, who married William Harvey. Thomas Evans did not have any sons and his "great bible" was left to his brother, William, from whom it has descended from the oldest son of each generation to W. Henry Evans of Moorestown. Page 126

Thomas Evans was the son of William Evans and (Jane) Elizabeth, the progenitors of the Evans family in New Jersey, who came from Wales, England, and settled at Evesham Mount, and lived in a cave in the Mount, until a house was erected. Elizabeth was an eminent minister in the Society of Friends. P. 13 Genealogy of the Strokes Family
