Notes for Jesse Evans:
Jesse Evans is listed in 1790 Head of Household Census in East Nantmeal Twp., Chester County.
He is noted in Futhey and Cope, History of Chester county, 1881, pg. 337 as one of three men in Chester County known to have raised Spanish Merino sheep in 1811. He is listed as co-owner (with William Frame) of a public house, the Downington Hotel or 'stage office', at the east end of the village of Downington in 1827.
An article in the Downingtown Archive Collection of newspaper clippings dated February 11, 1964, on the demolition of the historic Swan Hotel states in part: "In 1806 the following petition was filed by Thomas Parke: 'The petition of the subscriber respecfully sheweth he has a elegible stand for a public house in the neighborhood. He has a large stone house on the turnpike road in Downingtown at a point where the Horseshoe road, the road to West Chester, the road to Center House, the Turnpike to Harrisburg and to Mary Ann Forge all intersect. He wishes to have license to keep a public house at the place above mentioned and to be known as the Sign of the Swan."
The petition was granted but the following year the proprietorship was taken over by Jessie Evans who operated the tavern until 1822." Following is a copy of Jessie Evan's petition for license, filed in 1807.
"To the Honorable the Judges of the Court of General Quarter Sessions to be held at West Chester the County of Chester the first Monday of May, 1807.
The Petition of the Subscriber Respectfully sheweth That your Petitioner hath for the preceeding year kept a public House in the Township of East Caln at that Large and Commodious New House known at present by the Sign of the Swan in Downingtown that your petitioner is desirous of continuing and Humbly requests the Court to recommend him to his Excellency the Governor in order to obtain License to keep a public house of entertainment for the ensuing Year and your petitioner shall pray Do. /s/ Jessie Evans."
The petition is signed by Wm. Worthington, Cromwell Evans, /?/Tucker, Isaac Gilpine, Samuel Painter, Step'n Bowen, Samuel Cains, David Todd, Jesse John, John Bowin and others whose signatures are illegible. Florence's Note: The above David Todd is probably the son of Dr. William A. Todd, a neighbor who purchased a tract of land from Abiah Parke, Sr. Dr. Todd was son-in-law to Joseph Downing, son of immigrant Thomas Downing.
Business License records at the Archives in West Chester indicate that the original innkeeper was one Hunt Downing although Jesse Evans was the petitioner for license. The license was issued in the name of Jesse Evans from 1807 until 1823. In April, 1814, Edward Siter & Co. established a stage line for the accommodation of passengers between Philadelphia and Downingtown. The stage ran every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 8:00A.M., and returned from Philadelphia each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday to arrive in Downingtown the same day. During Jesse Evan's proprietorship of the Swan the local newspapers were replete with advertisements for events scheduled to take place at the inn. Such events as auctions of farm and household goods, sales of properties, sales of horses for breeding or at stud, sales of race horses, business meetings, announcements and advertising for return of stray livestock or run-away indentured servants took place at the Sign of the Swan. Futhey and Cope, History of Chester County, pg. 419, says: "The Downing hotel, or "stage-office," the name it was generally known by, was at the east end of the village of Downingtown, and for many years a noted stopping-place. Here Presidents, governors, supreme judges, and all kinds of dignitaries ate and slept."
An advertisement for return of a servant, placed by Jesse Evans in The American Republican, March 13th, 1815, reads as follows: " 25 Cents Reward. Ran away from the subscriber, on the evening of the 24rd of February, a negro boy, named Gregg Williams, 17 years old, stout made for his age. Any person apprehending said boy and bringing him home shall have the above reward but no charges. /s/Jesse Evans, Downingtown. (34-3t*). Two advertisements for return of servants were placed by Jesse Evan's wife Esther, and described the run-a-ways specifically as black individuals. Another ad, running in the American Republican, February 20th, 1810, reads as follows: " Horse and Chair or a Saddle Hackney to be let on reasonable terms at the White Swan Tavern, Downingtown. Enquire at the above place of Jesse Evans."The Swan, being at the end of the stage line from Philadelphia, also was the Post Office, and Jesse Evans regularly ran newspaper lists of recipients of messages awaiting pick-up at his place.
In 1816 Jesse Evans ran for Sheriff of Chester County. Following is an ad found in the American Republican dated September 9th, 1816. It is similar in content to several other ads run in other newspapers of Chester County at that time: "To the Electors of the County of Chester. Fellow Citizens - Having been selected by the Federal Republican Delegates of the County of Chester, as a candidate for the office of SHERIFF at the ensuing general election, I respectfully solicit your votes and interest for that office. If I should be elected, I will endeavor to perform its duties with fidelity. /s/ Jesse Evans, Downingtown. (8-4t*). It is not known at this time whether he served as Sheriff of Chester County, however, the American Republic ran this item 6 years later, on July 31st, 1822: "To the electors of Chester County. Fellow Citizens, Having at one time been placed by your suffrages on the return for Sheriff, and being encouraged therto by a number of my friends, I respecfully offer myself again as a Candidate for the Office; should I be elected, you may rest assured that the duties shall be performed with faithfulness; and the favor, which at any time would be receved with gratitude, would under my present very delicate circumstances be particularly acceptable. /s/ Jesse Evans. (37-11)

The subscriber being about to decline Tavern keeping, intends offering at Public Vendue, on the 20th and 21st days of March next, Household and Kitchen Furniture, consising of a number of first rate Feather Beds, Bedsteads and Bedding, Table Linen, Mahogany Bureaus and Tables, Walnut and other Tables, Mahogany Fancy and other chairs, large and small Looking Glasses, imported and domestic Carpetting, Franklin ten plate and cooking Stoves, large & small Brass and Iron Andirons, Shovels and Tongs, Dinner Sets and other Liverpool ware, China and Queensware, Glasses and other Bar Furniture, ALSO Horses, Cattle, Sheep and Swine, Waggons, light Cart - riding Gig and Sleigh with Harness, hay by the ton, Potatoes by the bushel, and many other articles not here inserted.

In 1817 Jesse Evans purchased land in East Caln Twp., documented by the following Deed, recorded September 30th, 1824. It is not known why the recordation was not accomplished until 7 years after the purchase.

The following three years, through 1826, Jesse Evans was licensed to keep the inn called The George Washington in East Caln. It is unclear whether it was a new establishment, or whether The George Washington was The Swan under a new name.
On February 20th, 1826, Jesse Evans advertised in the American Republican newspaper and
on February 22nd, 1826, Jesse Evans again advertised an Estate (going out of business?) sale as follows: Village Record, February 22, 1826: On the 27th and 28th days of March next I intend offering for public sale, and the sign of General Weshington, in Downingtown; a number of good feather beds and bedding, hair mattresses, bed and window curtains; bird-eye, curled maple and poplar bedsteads, wash-stands of different qualities and patterns; some with marble slabs, &c. bureaus, mahogany, fancy and windsor chairs; pier and chamber looking-glasses; mahogany, walnut and poplar dining, card and breakfast tables; a large and elegant sideboard; a first rate eight-day clock; andirons, shovels and tongs; imported and domestic carpeting; an extensive quantity of bar and bar-room furniture; several ten-plate and cooking stoves; brass, copper and bell-metal kettles; with a general assortment of kitchen furniture.

He collected and paid the highest price for clean cotton and linen rags. Pg. 39 "Eliza Mason, a milliner by trade in Philadephia rented space from Jesse Evans to open a shop near the Downingtown Chair Factory west of the bridge to start a shop in Downingtown." Eliza Mason may possibly be a sister-in-law to Esther Parke Evans' sister, Mary Parke, who married John Mason.
Jesse Evans is listed in membership of Masonic Lodge #50, headquartered in West Chester, January, 1807. (pg. 395). In 1820 Elections were held at the home of Jesse Evans in Downingtown (Futhey and Cope, pg. 226)
Jesse Evans' Will was entered into probate April 30, 1832. Book 2, Vol. 16 P. 442 No. 8792, Chester Co., Pa.
