Captain William Davies Evans (27 January 1790 – 3 August 1872) was a seafarer and inventor, though he is best known today as a chess player. He is buried at the Belgian port of Ostend.
Early life
Evans was born at St Dogwells, Pembrokeshire, Wales. It is almost certain that young Evans went to Haverfordwest Grammar School, the only school of any antiquity in Pembrokeshire. About the beginning of the century the family moved to Castle Pill, the name of an inlet of Milford Haven on the north side, just east of Milford town. By 1818, he had learnt the moves of chess.
Early career
At the age of 14, (in 1804) Evans went out to sea to serve his country in the navy until 1815, when the war ended.
He was then transferred to the postal department; by 1819, he had reached the title of Captain of the sailing packet.
Around 1825-1826, on shore leave in London, Evans played Alexander Macdonnell, beating the latter with what is now regarded in chess circles as the first creation of the Evans Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4).
William Davies' service in the American Revolution began when he was commissioned a captain in the 1st Virginia Regiment on September 30, 1775. He was captured at Fort Washington on November 16, 1776 and was later paroled.
He was promoted to major in the 7th Virginia Regiment on March 22, 1777 and to lieutenant colonel of the 22nd Virginia on February 21, 1778. He was appointed lieutenant colonel commandant of the 14th Virigina on April 6, 1778 and was promoted to colonel retroactive to March 20, 1778. He was wounded in action at the Battle of Monmouth on June 28th of the same year.
The 14th Virginia was redesignated the 10th Virginia on September 14, 1778. Davies was reassigned to the 1st Virginia on February 12, 1781. He served until the close of the war in 1783.
William Davies (1 February 1824 – 14 August 1890) was an English-born Australian politician.
He was born in Manchester to Thomas and Anna Maria Davies. He migrated to New South Wales around 1849, becoming a bookkeeper at Goulburn before moving to Melbourne to work for the Argus. In 1852 he mined for gold at Araluen before returning to Goulburn in the later 1850s. On 11 May 1852 he married Maria Cooper at Surry Hills; they had four children. He managed a variety of stores throughout the region and was an alderman at Goulburn from 1859 to 1887, serving four times as mayor. In 1877 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for Argyle, but he did not re-contest in 1880. He went further into business in the 1880s, becoming involved in mining and railway companies before becoming insolvent in 1887. Davies died at Redfern in 1890.
