David Evans

David Evans (d 1786) is the Welshman who supplied at Bourton prior to Beddome coming. Evans from Moleston, Pembrokeshire in Wales studied at Trosnant then came to Bristol in 1737. He was pastor at nearby Hook Norton, 1739-1747, but went to Cork and Waterford in Ireland after that (on Foskett's advice says Hayden). He soon returned to England, however, and pastored at Newport Pagnell (1748)  Great Gransden (1749-1751) and, finally, Biggleswade (1751-1786).
