General Notes: Husband - James Evans
He was born February 17. [RDJA, 111]
He was born in Wilmington, Delaware, of Welsh forbears and came to McKeesport, Pennsylvania, in 1796, aged twenty-one years. After their marriage, he and his wife lived for many years in McKeesport, on what became Third avenue. Later he built a fine brick residence on Second avenue, near Walnut street, in which he lived until his death, aged seventy-one years. He was a hatter by trade and during his long life in McKeesport, was engaged as a merchant. He was one of the first elders of the Presbyterian church in McKeesport and a memorial window in the church testified to the worth of this pillar of the church in its earlier days. In 1820 he was appointed justice of the peace, the first man in McKeesport to hold that office, and was also the first postmaster of the town. He was a successful merchant and left his children large estate, including the Hill farm and lands in the West. His wife was also a devout Presbyterian, and after being left a widow resided until her death with her daughter in Allegheny City, later Pittsburgh North Side.
General Notes: Wife - Emily Alexander
When twenty years of age she removed, with her widowed mother, Lettice Alexander, and her brother James, to McKeesport, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
She often spoke of her eastern home in Sherman's Valley and of her twin brother William, but had visited neither of them for many years before her decease. Late in life she was so afflicted with rheumatism as to be unable to walk for several years.
