I recently copied the following from the book "Southern Lineages, Records of Thirteen Families" by A. Evans Wynn, 1940, which I saw at the D.A.R. Library:
"Evans - The tradition, preserved in the family, that the first ancestor in this country married an Arden, would fix that surname on Anne, wife of David Evans. Examination of the records of an early family of Ardens in Maryland, 1690, revealed nothing of her origin. Unless she was the daughter of one James Arden of the 'Potomac Freshes,' mentioned obscurely in an early Virginia patent, or unless settlers of Lower Norfolk County, among whom were Ardens, moved with Richard Bennett to Maryland, Anne Arden, wife of David Evans, must have been born on the 'Mother Country.'
There is a footnote "John Arden, Virginia. "Bristol and America, Vol. 2, p. 136)."
