Evans was the younger brother of the land reformer George Henry Evans.[1] Evans was born in Leominster, England. His father settled in the United States in 1820, and apprenticed him to a hatter in New York. He was a diligent student in his leisure hours, was attracted by the theories of Robert Dale Owen and Charles Fourier, and after a brief return to Britain joined the Shaker community.
