Joseph Evans, born circa 1692/95. He may have hailed originally from Wales or Cecil County, Maryland, but by 1735—when he charged Samuel Finley with horse theft—Joseph was "of Oppechon" in Orange County VA. He lived on Evans Run at Big Spring, south of where Martinsburg would be founded in 1778. Joseph and his unnamed wife had two sons, John Evans [Sr.] and Isaac Evans [Sr.], both of whom were also living on the Opequon by the mid-1730s.
