Evan Shelby was born in Tregaron, Cardigan Co., Wales during William andMary's reign, between 1690 and 1695. He may have been a farmer and sheepraiser in Wales as was a common occupation in the mountainous region. Hecould write his name,which is more than many of that period could do,and the little handwriting that remains is clear and distinct.
Some seven or eight years after George the Second had succeeded to thethrone, Evan Shelby, then perhaps forty years old, emigrated with isfamily to America where he hoped to better his fortune. They landedprobably at Philadelphia, the principal city of Penn's province, at thattime then a little over fifty years old.
The "Blunstone License Book" of Lancaster County in the land office inthe capitol at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, shows that Evan Shelby waslicensed on July 4, 1735, to take up three hundred acres in the thenIndian owned territory west of theSusquehanna River. Here the Shelbyssettled on a beautiful spot on the east bank of Conococheague Creek,naming their farm "Black Walnut Point". It is in the present township ofAntrim, Franklin County, five miles north of the Maryland (Mason-Dixon)line. Two years later he was licensed to acquire an additional 200hundred acres at Rocky Spring, somewhere near his first tract.
At the end of four years his home having been seized to satisfy a debtowed by him to one Richard Phillips, he removed to Maryland, havingsecured on June 7, 1739, through Lord Baltimore's land agent atAnnapolis, two warrants for twelve hundred acres of land in PrinceGeorge's County, in that part which is now Washington County. One tractof his allotment called "Rich Lands", was then owned by Dr. Robert Stuartof Annapolis, but reassigned to Shelby on that date. It was somewhat tothe northwest of the site of Hagerstown. The other, a 1,000 acre tract,which he named "maiden's Choice", seems to have been his homeplantation. It was a narrow and very irregular shaped strip, beginningat the Pennsylvania line and extending southward along the base of theNorth Mountain three and one half miles.
Evan Shelby's new house was situated at the south end, probably on theroad now running from Clear Springs, Maryland, to Mercerburg,Pennsylvania. During the next 11 years he obtained other land warrantsand secured patents on them until he was in possession of 2,500 acres.With the exception of Rich Lands and a 50 acre piece called "Hunt'sCabin", all of Shelby's land seems to have been located betweenConococheague Creek and the east side of North Mountain, that is, about10 or 12 miles west of the site of Hagerstown. He disposed of some ofhis land from time to time by sale and some of it was conveyed as giftsto his sons.
In the Testamentary Proceedings on file at Annapolis it is recorded thathis wife, Catherine, and son, Evan Jr., filed a bond on July 19, 1750, asadministrators of his estate; but, as he had over his personal signatureconveyed a piece of land to his son John on May 19, his death must haveoccurred between those two dates, when he was between 55 and 60 years old.
