General Notes: Husband - Abel Evans
He was raised on his father's farm, and attended the subscription schools in his neighborhood, receiving the ordinary advantages then afforded in the country. He taught school about one year, and then went into a store, clerking for his brother Isaac. After this he farmed six years, and then was engaged nine years in merchandising. He then purchased a farm in West Vincent, Chester County, Pennsylvania, on which he resided until 1865, when he removed to Norristown, where he lived until 1871. He then returned to his farm, on which he remained until November, 1879, when he went to Philadelphia.
He served ten years as justice of the peace.
He was a member of the Baptist Church, which with his family he attends, and to which he freely contributes. He is a Republican, having left the Democratic party at the time of the Kansas-Lecompton imbroglio, in 1857-58.
