Evers was the son of the older man of the Lübeck skipper Christian David Evers and his mother was a daughter of the Lübeck mayor Jakob Hübens ; the Lübeck Council Secretary and Syndicus Christian David Evers was his older brother.

Nicolaus Henricus Evers, like his brother before, studied law at the University of Jena and graduated in 1760 with a licentiate in law. In 1764 he became the keeper of the minutes of the College of Schonenfahrer in Lübeck. When his older brother became a protonotary , Nicolaus Henricus Evers was appointed third secretary of the council in Lübeck, that of registrar. In 1769 he became Second Secretary of the Council and in 1790 Protonotary. Evers attained the hereditary imperial nobility in 1802 and from then on called itself "von Evers". In 1805 he acquired the cathedral curia, known today as Rantzau Castle, at the parade in Lübeck.

The later mayor of Lübeck, Christian Nicolaus von Evers, was his son and, when he was raised to the imperial nobility in 1802, became one of the last members of the patrician circle society before its end.
