Dr Evan Pearce is my 5 times great grandfather. As far as I know he had 6 children. Evan jr, John, Robert , Henry, Mary and Caroline. Evan(jr) Had 1 son. Robert had 2 children. Caroline had 4 children. One of my aunts told me that Dr Evan Pearce lived at Conway Castle, plus had some influence in finding the cure of Cholera.
Hi barbwiles, good to hear from you.
Evan Pierce sounds like a remarkable man. I haven't really done much more research into Evan Pierce but if this is of any help I did discover that Ann Williams, the mother of Calvinistic Methodist minister Henry Rees, also lived at Cefn Fforest.

One clue maybe is that William Williams' grandson William Jones married Helena Evans, the granddaughter of the congregational minister Owen Evans.
