It appears that Evans was a shrewd land trader and he bought and sold a number of farms during his lifetime. In addition he was also a substantial citizen. His name appears frquently as a witness on will and on other papers. At the time of his death,
he owned three farms, 110 acres in Upper Providence on which he lived and which he left to his son Emmor, 125 acres in Edgmont which he left to his sonEder, who had operated it since 1832, and 78 acres in Thornbury, which his executors were instructed
to sell. In his will he made specific bequests to his daughters and grandchildren, which totaled $10,000. And he specified that the proceeds from the Thornbury farm were to be divided equally among his heirs.
Evans owned the land in Upper Providence when he married Hannah. He appears on censuses 1800-50. The farm was at the upper end of Upper Providence next to Edgmont Township, with the Bishops as neighbours. The farm remained in the family untill 1914.
