from THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY PA, by Futhey and Cope;

Abner Evans, from Wales, settled in East Nantmeal about 1775, and purchased a 
large tract of land.  "Abner's Hill" derives its name from him.  He was the 
father of Geo Evans, and the grandfather of Jesse, James and Evan Evans, the 
latter at one time a county commissioner.  The late Abner G. Evans, who died Feb 
23, 1881, in East Nantmeal, was also a descendant.
