I found some information listed under C.H. Evans and Sons Brewery which seems to list Banjamin Faulkins Brewery as a predecessor of C.H. Evans. The original line for the brewery operated by Evans was started by George Robinson, who was in competition with Benjamin Faulkins. Robinson started in his brewery in 1822 and sold to Evans in 1856. Robinson operated another brewery in competition with Evans, called Waterbury and Peabody. Robinson sold off the physical plant of the Robinson Brewery, but never worked with Evans or share any of his craft skills. While C.H. Evans likes to think they are a decendant of Robinson, they were just another competitor. Faulkins continued to operate in competition with Robinson for over 14 years after Robinson opened his first brewery in 1822. The history on Robinson is scant in the early days because he was not one of the first three successful breweries in Hudson, they being Faulkins, David Coope, and Auchmoody.
