Geraint Bevan, 2000 wrote the following:

My late father who passed away on Nov 3rd spent the last forty years researching the Bevan family and it has fallen upon me to continue. One of his grandfather's nephews, David Bevan, a collier born between 1902 - 1907, son of John emigrated in the early 1930s to the US and lived at 44 Sydenham Place, Philadelphia. There were two children - Gwynith b in 1921 & Mary 1924 - 1970. Mary had two children, Mary and David but I have no surname. In those days it was necessary for David Bevan of Fair View, Pengam to accumulate £100 before he could go the States. He worked hard in the colliery on the coalface and at last reached the target of £100. In Trelyn there was just one Bank - Lloyds and when David Bevan of Fair View went to collect the money he was informed by the cashier that he had 'overdrawn'. David Bevan knew that this was not true but guessed that the mistake was made by the new clerk who must have debited one of the weekly business payments made by my grandfather, David Bevan of Glan-y-Nant, his first cousin, to the wrong David Bevan of Fair View, Pengam. Neither had a second Christian name for in both cases they were the second son named after their common grandfather, just plainly David Bevan, b 1840. Gwynith married Robert Washam and lived at Merion Station, Philadelphia. I have no record of any issue.
