Notes:

From Betty J Evans:

"With the exception of a few birth dated (very few) or such as that, none of the information comes from the internet or WFT CD'S.  I have done all of my own research (the old fashioned way since old habits are hard to kick!) in regard to the Ewings and my information basically comes from records found in "The Ewing Genealogy with Cognate Brenches", from records I have found in various history books and from a few obituaries furnished by Ewing descendants or obits from historical societies, obits in connection with later generations of the family, that is.  That isn't too say the records are without error, but they are as close as I can get to the actual facts with the material there is out there to work with. So many of the Ewing men were prominent politicians, attorneys, etc., that there has been a lot written about them in the early history of our nation, but finding information about the women in the family is a whole different ballgame.  The women present a real challenge and I hope to learn more about some of them in the future".

Robert Ewing, the emigrant ancestor was born at or near Coleraine, in Londonderry County, Ireland and came to America with his older brother, Charles Ewing, about the period 1735-1737.  Robert and Charles were said to be cousins of the emigrant Nathaniel Ewing.  On their arrival in America, they first went to Nathaniel's home in Cecil County, Maryland, but shortly after, they accompanied their cousin, the emigrant James, Nathaniel's half-brother, to what became Prince Edward County, Virginia. Later they joined a new adventurous colony and settled near the Peaks of Otter in Bedford County, Virginia where they remained the rest of their lives according to "The Ewing Genealogy with Cognate Branches" by Kettridge Ewing.

The two brothers married sisters, daughters of Rev. Caleb Baker, a prominent Presbyterian minister, and his wife Marth Brooks Baker. Charles married Martha Baker and Robert married Mary Baker.  Mary was born about 1730 in Prince Edward County, Virginia.  Robert and Mary were married about 1747 in Bedford County, Virginia.  The became parents of twelve children, four daughters and eight sons, all born in Bedford County. Virginia.

Robert Ewing was active in community affairs and also in his church.  He was an elder in the Presbyterian Church and for many years, was the clerk of the Bedford County Court.  In June 1754 Robert Ewing qualified as one of the Justices of the County Court for Bedford County and was serving in 1754, 1756 and 1771.

Robert and his brother, Charles, ranked among the better farmers of Bedford County, Virginia, both owning considerable land.  At the time of his death Robert Ewing left more than 7,200 acres of land to be sold and the money invested, some of it in land in the Far West, for his sons Chatham and Finis.

Robert's Will, dated March 2, 1786, with a codicil dated May 14, 1787, was filed for probate in the Bedford County Court on June 25, 1787, reportedly naming eight sons and three daughters as heirs, indicating one daughter was deceased previous to her father, the deceased daughter being Sidney Ann Ewing.  The Will disposed of considerable land, both in Virginia and Kentucky, the ownership in Kentucky being explained by the fact that much of Kentucky was carved out of Augusta County, Virginia.

Robert Ewing died in May or June 1787 in Bedford County.  His wife, Mary, reportedly died three years later in 1790 and is buried beside her husband in Bedford County, Virginia.
_______________________

May have been a feudal Baron?  About 1740 Robert and Charles emigrated to MD to Nathaniel and Rachel to hide from authorities seeking them for killing a man in Ireland or Scotland.  From Maryland they stole across the Susquehanna at night with 1/2 brother of Nathaniel's living in Virginia and settled first in Prince Edward then went with pioneers to Bedford a less settled area and
easier to hide.  Robert's will was probated 25 Jun 1787.
_________________

Brothers Robert and Charles Ewing came to the Colonies from Scotland and settled at the foot of the Blue Ridge (Bedford Co, VA) about 1740, Robert's will was date 2 March 1786 and he died the following year. It is 4 pages long and indicated that he wanted his land in Bedford Co, VA sold as his son Baker Ewing was in Kentucky purchasing land for him. So, he was willing both Virginia and Kentucky land. After Robert's death, it appears that all his children and their families moved to Kentucky. He owned land in Bedford County, VA, on Ewing's Fork of Otter River, Little Otter and Wolf Creek. Also a deed of Robert Ewing and friends giving the Congregation of Presbyterian Church of Peaks of Otter 4 slaves for the benefit of the church, dated 1783.

ROBERT EWING was a man of distinguished ability, evidently a leader in his community, of determined character resolute purpose in the execution of his plans and designs. He settled close to his brother, CHARLES, in what is now Bedford County, VA. He qualified on 22 June, 1754, under commission from KING GEORGE II, as one of the Justices of the County Court for Bedford County, which was a court of general jurisdiction, with records and a clerk, having chancery powers besides other jurisdiction, and in that capacity, he served for a number of years, the records showing that he was serving on 22 July, 1754, and on May 24, 1756, and on June 25, 1771. ROBERT was appointed and presided as one of the Judges of the "Court of Oyer and Terminer" to try for murder, one HAMPTON, who was convicted and hanged. Robert was a member of Captain Thomas Buford's volunteer company, raised in Bedford County, which constituted a part of the army under GENERAL ANDREW LEWIS (in the battle with the Indians at Point Pleasant on 10 October, 1774. It appears that Robert Ewing made a payment to the County in 1756 for provisions for the Militia. On 27 August, 1770, he received a grant of 194 acres.

RELIGION: Robert was a Presbyterian and an elder in that church. He was the first signer (probably the author) of a remarkable petition, full of point and vigor, from Peaks of Otter Presbyterian Church in Bedford County during May of 1774, to the General Assembly of Virginia, asking the elders thereof be enabled to take and hold land and slaves to the use of the minister under proper regulations. The petition was granted.

As indicative of Robert Ewing's public spirit, we note that on 24 Mar, 1783, he wrote to the Governor of Virginia, informing him that the Sheriff had refused to give security for collection of taxes, and intimating very strongly that under the situation, the people of Bedford County, though it was one of the first inland counties of the State, were not inclined to pay as demanded.

The WILL of ROBERT EWING disposed of considerable land, both in Virginia and Kentucky, the ownership in Kentucky being explained by the fact that at least much of Kentucky was carved out of Augusta County, Virginia. (Source: FTM Genealogy site -- www.familytreemaker.com/users/e/r/i/Gayle--Erickson/GENE14-00017.htm)

His Will found in "Abstracts of Bedford County, Virginia 1754-1787" dated 25 Jun 1787 in Bedford County, VA. There eight sons and three daughters named in this will. Known children and grandchildren of Robert and Mary Ewing are named.

Notes:

Mary Baker Ewing, the wife of the emigrant, Robert Ewing, was as stated, the sister of Martha who was the wife of the brother, Charles Ewing.

She was probably born in Virginia, in what became Prince Edward County, about the year 1730; her father was Rev. Caleb Baker, a prominent Presbyterian clergyman of that county, and evidently a man of strong will and sterling qualities of character.

Of her personal history, we have ascertained nothing further, but surely the mother of a galaxy of sons like hers, who are accredited by history so uniformly with worthy achievements of high order, must have been richly endowed with those attributes which make "a perfect woman, nobly planned."

Lincoln County, KY will (book G, page 41):

To son, John. To children of son, William. Sons, Samuel, William, James and Thomas B. Warren. To daughters, Frances Burch, and Polly Taylor. To Lettice Ewing, John Warren. The children of Ann Stephens. Wm. Warren, Elizabeth Kennedy, James Warren, Thomas B. Warren, Samuel W. Warren, Polly Taylor, to be divided in 9 equal parts, deducting for Frances Burch and Winifred Ewing. Exec's, sons, John, Wm., James, Thomas B. and Samuel. Written May 17, 1817. Witnesses, Samuel Moore, I. Shelby, Jr., Even Shelby. Probated October 11, 1819.
____________

This must be the will of Capt. William Warren (1740-1819) the brother of James and John Warren and the sons of Samuel Warren (1715-1779) of Berkley Parish, Spotsylvania County, Virginia.

Samuel's Children were:
William (1715-1779); Samuel; James(1743-1828); John; Lettie Humphries; Elizabeth Rash; Ann Warren; Rebecca Shackleford.

William was the oldest of the four brothers, and according to my records scouted the area around the Dicks (Dix) river, Kentucky, in 1776 and posted a claim about thirty miles from Booneboro. After the war he and his brothers (John ans James) moved there and establish a fort on the Dicks river in 1779. Apparently a number of their friends and neighbors followed, because you find the same names (Mason, Dunbar, Burch and others) that were in Spotsyvania County showing up in the Dicks River area. The fort was built on the north side of the river.

My records indicate that William (1740-1819) had the following children:
John, William (1767-1825), Samuel, James, Thomas, Lettie married to Baker Ewing, July 21, 1784; Elizabeth married to Jacob Stevens, Dec 23, 1786; Winnifred married Young Ewing, June 1791; Frances (Mrs. Burch); Polly (Mrs. Argyle Taylor).

Ann Stephens is the one that throws me. Maybe it is his sister (Ann Warren). The bad think about the Warren's is that used the same names over and over again. My grandfather was William A. Warren, his brother was John.

Notes:

Captain (Charles) Findley (Finley/Ffinlay) Ewing, (born about 1650), father of Thomas Ewing Sr., was awarded a silver sword by his sovereign King William in recognition of his bravery during the battle. It is not known what act of valor for which he was honored. But, the sword presented was silver-handled and was in possession of the family in New Jersey when it was stolen by a slave and the handle was melted for its metal. Before its theft, it was worn during the American Revolution by Dr. Thomas Ewing, an army surgeon and great grandson of its original owner. Findley Ewing was a staunch Presbyterian and an ardent advocate of liberty. He married Jane Porter in Londonderry, Ireland in 1694. Recent research leads us to believe that their son, Thomas Ewing Sr. may have been born in 1690 in Londonderry rather than 1695 as has been thought for many years. He became the first American immigrant of this Ewing line. There are several references to Captain Findley Ewing's father as being James Ewing of Glasgow, Scotland born about 1630 however, the proof of this fact remains to be found.

From the Burt Congregation records, we also learn that Findley first lived in Inch Island in Lough Swilley, then moved to Fahan on the east coast of Lough Swilley. Four of his children were baptized on the 10th of the month -- reflecting the many superstitions of the time. The siege of Londonderry played a part in the movement of some people during this time. When looking at the American records in New Jersey, they indicate that besides Thomas Ewing coming to America, his three brothers, William, James and Robert were also immigrants to America.

Findley married Jane Porter on 2 Sep 1715 in Londonderry, Ireland, UK. Jane was born about 1696 in Londonderry, Ireland, UK; died in Unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
