William Bevan

William Bevan (fl. 1723–37) was an employee of the Hudson's Bay Company and came to the Canadian bay area's Fort Albany in 1723 from England as mate of the Beaversloop. He became chief trader and factor there four years later.

Bevan and a party explored the Moose River area and the site of the post which Pierre de Troyes had captured from the HBC in 1686. A new Moose Fort was built in 1730 and he became chief factor and commander there in 1732. Beven returned to England in 1737.
