It may be possible to confirm family relationships with William by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with William:

I am now looking for his research which he apparently never published. An article in The Genealogist (https://fasg.org/wp-content/uploads/Umstead.pdf) says he published it only by depositing copies in two Pennsylvania libraries; footnoting: Frank Brooke Evans, III, History of the Family of William Evans of Limerick Pennsylvania, Revised Edition (Williamsburg, Va.: By the author, 1981), copies in the libraries of Earlham College, the Historical Society of Montgomery County, Norristown, Pa., and the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. The book consists of two parts, Part I and Part II, each separately paginated.
His research showing the descent of William and Ann Evans from John Evans does appear in a published work available on Archive.com: A genealogical history of the Dupuy Family (1910; page 84). https://archive.org/details/genealogicalhist00dupu/page/n177/mode/2up?q=Evans&view=theater
The article in The Genealogist parses through the work of Frank B. Evans, to summarize the theory of the parentage of brother and sister William and Ann Evans. The authors accept his treatment that Jeane Teate (maiden name unknown) had been the second wife of John Evans, then married a Mr. Teate sometime after 1689, then referred to as "wife of Thomas Martin" at the time of two wills in 1705 and 1722. The article also states that John Evans is featured in Burke's Landed Gentry. But, the authors say the parentage is not fully proven: "Although there is strong evidence supporting the conjecture that this Evans family of Ireland is the ancestral family of the immigrant William, we do not find it conclusive, and therefore leave the conjecture as an open question. "
More to come! Stay tuned!
