ROBERTS, EVAN (died 1650), early Puritan
Date of death: 1650
Gender: Male
Occupation: early Puritan
Area of activity: Religion
Author: Robert Thomas Jenkins
Some think he was the 'one Roberts ' who was suspended by the bishop of S. Davids in 1634 for ' inconformity.' What is certain is that the Committee for Plundered Ministers appointed him in 1642 to preach, in English and in Welsh, in the parish of Llanbadarn-fawr, Cardiganshire, and the adjoining parishes, on a stipend of £100 per annum, and that in 1646 he was instituted to that parish. In 1649 he published Sail Crefydd Gristnogol, a translation of Perkins's Foundation of the Christian Religion. He died in 1650; grants were made to his widow for the education of their children.
