  • Notes 
    • Dr. Ewell attained a large tract of land on what is known as the Garrison Fork of Duck river, and was a larger plantation in his time. By profession he was a physician, having been educated in his native state of Virginia. After coming to Tennessee he was one of the earlly pioneer physicians of Bedford, Coffee and other contiguous counties. He was noted for his skill as a doctor and his kindly services as a professional friend, and had a host of admires and patrons throughout his career in this locality.

      From Notes of J. Lewis 1992: Dabney was a Physician who came from Virginia to the Gossburg area of Bedford Co. Tennessee, before 1820. This area became part of Coffee Co., District #1 after 1836. He attained a large tract of land, built and operated a plantation. He owned several slaves as shown in the 1820 thru the 1840 Fed. Census. In 1850 census, he owns 9 slaves. He was listed as Justice of the peace in Bedford Co. in 1829, and he was a well known practicing Physician in Bedford, Coffee and Rutherford Counties.

      Also in notes of J. Lewis 1992, Ken Floyd's of Nashville, are written:

      "I believe that Dabney Ewell was married twice. The 1820 census shows six children, some as old as 10 years, a woman age 26-45, in Dabney's Household.

      Evidently, Dabney either divorced this first wife or she died shortly after the 1820 census, because he married Dovey Davidson in 1821. The 1830 census shows in Dabney's household, a younger wife, Dovey being abt 27, some additional children - at least four of them, probably children of Dabney and Dovey. Some Children of the first maarriage are not indicated in 1830 - perhaps have married."

      Notes of J Lewis,1992: The 1850 Coffee Co. census shows them apart - Dovey with Daughter Harriett Roughton, while son, John, and wife, Elizabeth are living with Dabney. On Jan. 18, 1851, Dabney executes a most unusual document to Dovey. A deed, recorded in Coffee Co. Deed Book G pg. 314, is made to Dovey for a negro girl, "a slave for life", by the name of Jemima. In this deed, Dabney solemnly promises "to defend title to Dovey and her heirs against any future claims by Dabney and his heirs."

      Death:

      Dabney died in December 1854 and family tradition has him buried in "the Ewell gravey ard" located on the Lawrence Branch Rd. in Coffee Co. This "grave yard was supposedly destroyed in the 1950's and no trace of it is left. However no other known Ewell is buried there and it seems that anyone as well known and as wealthy as Dabney, would have a prominent gravestone, so we are still looking.
