EVANS & PUGH: Robert Pugh and Sarah Evans were natives of Merionethshire, Wales and were Quakers. They were married by 1695 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1698. They settled in the Friends community of Gwynedd.
Robert's paternal lineage was Hugh ap Griffith, Griffith ab Evan & Evan Robert Lewis. Sarah's paternal line was Evan Lloyd Evans & Evan Robert Lewis. That made them first cousins once removed.
A similar relationship existed with my grandmother's sister and brother-in-law. Freda Faucett and Dewitt Clinton Pentzer shared a common great-grandparents, Willis Gulley and Betsy Land. They were 2nd cousins.
