Kassie,
There is a book in the Spruance Library in Doylestown
on the Bevan Family. Unfortunately I did not write
down the name of the book or author, but it may have
been writted by Ethel Bevan. I assume you have this
book however since it mentions all the people you have
mentioned including Awbry. It refers to other books,
eg "Descendants of John Wolf Jordan", "Colonial
Families of Pennsylvania", In Quest of an Ancestor" by
Emily Bell (she visited the ancestral home in Wales of
John Bevan and Barbara Aubry) and several others.

If you do not have this book and would like more info
let me know.
