John and Lucinda (Pinkerton) Evans arrived from Swansea, Wales in 1832 and settled on Lot 20, JG.
In 1871 Samuel Evans built the brick house at 1249 Evans Boulevard.
Samuel married Pamela Walkley and his brother William married her sister, Lois. They were the daughters of Enoch Walkley who farmed the first lot on the south side of the Base Line (Walkley Road) in the Rideau Front section of Gloucester.
In the 1900s Evans’ descendants Milton and Edward Dowler and Dave Cunningham farmed his land. Randall Avenue formed the boundary between the Evans land and that of Thomas Heron.
