MY EWING SOURCES
By Anne Toohey, Library of Congress, 11 April 1996
VERY important documentation of the early 1800 letters
The Ewings of Frederick Co. VA
By Evelyn Jones Ewing and James Earl Ewing, Jr.
Copyright 1986
Follows the line of John of Carnshanaugh (1648-1745) and his
second wife Jennet McElvaney through his son William (1711-1781) through his
son Robert (1761-1826). Robert was part of the correspondence of
letters in the early 1800s. This William would have been a brother to my James
(Pocahontas) Ewing Sr. (1721-1801).
They site sources including The History of Epler Oldwiller,
Huckleberry, Carr, and Ewing Families. These were all tied to S.S.Jameson of
Burnet Texas 1895. This family history ties directly to my line. They record
information from the Burt Book, found in the Magee Library, Londonderry. The
Burt Book has records kept by Rev. A Ferguson, minister of the Presbyterian
Congregation at Burt, County Donegal from 1685-1718. This book shows our lineage all the way to
Elizabeth Ewing b. 1755 who married Samuel James Jameson, who is their grandson
of Burnet, Texas. He supplied all the information.
Ewing Family Journal, Vol 18 No.2 (May 2012) Douglas
Rohde found a Confession of Faith Book printed in 1700. This was passed down
through Margaret Ewing (1750-1815) who married her cousin Robert. Robert was
part of the correspondence mentioned above. This Confession of Faith Book
listed many birth, death, marriage dates. This book was brought to America in
c.1729 by John of Carnshanaugh. Douglas Rohde would be Margaret’s
great-grandson.

One American Family – Pocahontas James by Wallace K. Ewing
Ph.D.
I have followed “Wally” since I began the research. There
would be nothing more that I could add about the Ewing Family, except to
document my line from F.S. Ewing (1869-1962) to James H (Henry?) Ewing b. 1829
to William P Ewing (1804-1864). All sources after that have my line connected
to William P Ewing,

Society gives connections all the way to F.S. Ewing.
I’m not sure how to access their sources.
By William Sproul
Found in the Ewing Family Journal Vol. 15 No.2 May 2009, 14
pages.
This includes a lot of Ewing history.
Interesting that my great-grandfather married a Sproul, but I
have never been able to find documentation on her or her Sproul family.
