My Ewing Sources

 EACH INDIVIDUAL MEMBER OF MY FAMILY TREE   

As I add a family member to the tree, I try to find a source. My tree on Ancestry is large because I have added children and their spouses. Most of the time, I have listed each of the children’s family. For each person added, I feel fairly certain that it came from a ‘found’ source.

VERY important documentation of the early 1800 letters - her research caused Wallace Ewing to take off the last name of Sarah Edwards as the wife of Jame (Pocahontas) Ewing 1721-1801.

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.

 This gives all of the documentation of this family as pulled together by the professionals, as best as they could.

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,

By William W. Sproul, III 
 http://o.pcahs.org/pcaolr/database/acdpcd-p/p981.htm#i75590 

Website through Pike County Arkansas Archives and History Society gives connections all the way to F.S. Ewing.  I’m not sure how to access their sources. Has my William P Ewing (1804-1864) as the son of James (1758-1810) and unknown mother. Wallace K Ewing placed William P as the son of James and Ladovsey Dilliard. Because Wallace “Wally” and the Ewing Family Assoc have documented and written out so much history, I have used his information as my “Bible” for this family.

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.
