Notes
General:
History of Remsen New York by Millard F. Roberts page 307 states that,"John Evans (Boon) was born in Brynhnog Back, North Wales, in 1772. He married Mary, daughter of John Parry, and emigrated to America in 1798 or 1799, coming directly from New York to Steuben, when he joined his brother-in-law, William P Jones, who had preceded him to this country a year or two. For a time he lived with Mr. Jones who had settled temporarily north of Ty Coch, near the farm soon after settly by John Roberts (Creugiau), grandfather of the late John R. and Griffith Griffiths. Later he took up residenced at Trenton village, from which fack the appellation "Boon" came to be given him, since Trenton, or Olden Barneveld was called Boon by many of the country people, it being the residence of Gerrit Boon, agent for the Holland Land Company, and where Mr. Evans was for many years employed as gardener by Col. Adam Gerard Mappa, who succeeded Gerrit Boon.Marriage Notes (Mary Parry)
Shortly after he arrived in Steuben, Mr. Evans bought a bushel of wheat from a neighbor, which he carried on his back to mill at Whitesboro. In Septempber, 1798, assisted by William C. Jones, he cut the first trees on the Capel Ucha' lot, to prepare a place for the grave of the first body buried there."
