General Notes: Husband - Robert Evans


Having received the rudiments of an education, customary in his day, he was apprenticed, on the 24th of November, 1807, to Michael Gundaker, (a leading merchant of Lancaster), to learn the mercantile business. He set up as a merchant in Lancaster, and continued to follow this business to the end of his life. In 1819 he was appointed by Phineas Ash, Wm. B. Ross and Peter Holl, Commissioners of Lancaster county, to the office a County Treasurer, and was twice re-appointed to the the same office, in the years 1820 and 1821. Amongst those recommending Mr. Evans to the office of Treasurer, can be found the names of several of the principal leading citizens of Little Britain township. Mr. Evans served for many years as a director of the Farmers' Bank of Lancaster, and acted besides in many fiduciary positions of trust and responsibility.

He carried on a general mercantile business in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on the corner of Duke and King Streets, during his active life.
