William Jacob Ewen (Ewing)

ssmerry01 — 2012-05-16 03:58:19Z

I am searching for William Jacob Ewen's parents. I have discovered his daughter gave her last born the middle name Talbot.

William Jacob Ewen 1783 married Susannah Ebaugh 1794
---Mary Eve Ewen 1830 married Augustus DeBaugh 1828
------Frederick Talbot DeBaugh 1868

Searching thru the Ebaugh's DeBaugh's and Ewen's I can only find one connection to the Talbot name 200 yrs before:
Richard Ewan 1610 married Sophia Scarborough 1613
---Elizabeth Ewen 1630 marries Richard Talbot (Quaker)

Does anyone know of any other Talbot connections? or maybe they were Quakers? or maybe they were cousins back to Richard Ewen?

Hi Harriette,

Thomas and the less common Andrew are also names in my EWING / MATHEWS line in Pennsylvania.

The EWING Y-DNA project is being conducted at FamilyTreeDNA. If I'm not mistaken, there is some sort of discount through the EWING project via www.ewingfamilyassociation.org. You can visit FTDNA at http://www.familytreedna.com/.

Kind regards,
Mike

harriettes1 — 2012-04-10 14:56:52Z

Hi again will see if I can rattle some cages for you about the DNA, who do you use for testing? I have no doubt that all the Ewing families are related. I have an aunt who used to travel to Pennsylvania many years ago. My grandmother's side of the family was Pauley and there are many in that State too.

Forgot to mention the last time that there are a couple of Ewing trees on My Heritage site for my family, one is "Thomas Andrew Ewing". Will have to look up the other name.
regards
Harriette

Harriette,

Nice to hear from you. It is very likely that we share common ancestry. Most of the EWINGs are closely linked with another in genetic terms.

Have you considered Y-DNA testing through one of your male EWING cousins? The Ewing Family Association needs more participants from Ireland and your family's participation would be helpful not just to the project, but also towards discovering more about your own ancient roots.

You can visit the Ewing Y-DNA Project site here:

Mike, my grandfather was Samuel Ewing(s) from Sixmilecross, Co.Tyrone (near Omagh) born abt. 1864 died 1934 I have one brother for him John from Recarson. I still have many cousins in the Omagh area and some here in Canada. My mother was the youngest of 11. Should have listened to her stories when she was here.

Sorry didn't get an alert when you posted.

Hello Marge

This is the post I was referring to - I think the photos you have relate to the Ewing family.

Re: Gen Thomas Ewing Civil War

schneiderette — 2012-03-25 18:45:05Z

I too was checking up on Gen Thomas Ewing and found that we came down through different lines. I inherited a set of large family tree documents of the Ewing family, but no where do I find the name of Finis. This chart shows that the Thomas Ewing (great great grfthr of Gen. T E.)born in 1695 was the son of Findley, not brother. Findley was born about 1670. I hope this is helpful.

Obit of Mrs. Truman (Sarah Ewing) Brockway 1910

lilmar1942 — 2012-01-23 19:38:22Z

From the Chatsworth Plaindealer
Chatsworth,Livingston,Illinois

MRS. SARAH L. BROCKWAY
AUGUST 5, 1910

The remains of the late Mrs. Sarah L. Brockway, whose death occurred on Friday last, July 29, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Laura Myers, at Montieth, Michigan, arrived in Chatsworth on Saturday evening. They were taken to the home of Mrs. Dora Bangs and the interment was at the Chatsworth cemetery on Sunday beside the remains of her husband, Truman Brockway. Dr. Frank Brockway, of Oshkosh, Wis., accompanied the remains here and was met her by Dr. Charles Brockway and the latter's son, Attorney Howard Brockway, both of Brookston, Ind. Short services were held at the house and grave by Rev. O.M. Dunlevy, pastor of the M.E. church, the funeral services having been held at Montieth.
Sarah L. Ewing was born May 13, 1840, in Livingston county, N.Y. She was married to Truman Brockway in November, 1858, and they came directly to Chatsworth, where Mr. Brockway erected the first house built in Chatsworth, a two-story frame building, on the lot where Hollywood and Mouritzen's meat market is now situated. The second story was the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Brockway, and on the first floor Mr. Brockway and Charles Brooks conducted a general store. They resided in Chatsworth until 1876, when they moved to a farm southeast of Chatsworth and later to the farm south of this city, where Chris Shafer now resides, and where they continued to reside until Mr. Brockway's death a number of years ago, since which time Mrs. Brockway had made her home with her children.
She was the mother of four children, all of whom survive her, namely: Dr. Charles T. Brockway, of Brookston, Ind.; Mrs. Laura Myers, of Montieth, Mich.; Mrs. Mary E. Breeze, of Yoeman, Ind.; Dr. Frank Brockway, of Oshkosh, Wis.

I am searching for the family of Margaret Ewing born 1825 in Ohio. She married Francis Thompson in 1845 in Vermillion Co., Illinois. The couple moved to Wapello County, Iowa and then to Decatur County, Iowa. We have found and researched many Ewing lines, but haven't found an exact match yet. Any help would greatly appreciated.

James & Agnes Ewing- 1850 Putnam Co., OH+1860 Story Co.,Iowa

raysal_1 — 2011-11-27 20:52:03Z

James EWING b abt 1806-7 PA
d after the 26 Jul 1860 US Census

Agnes(s) UNKNOWN
QUESTIION = Does anyone know Agnes' MAIDEN name?
b abt 1808-9 PA
d after the 1885 Iowa State Census

James & Agnes EWING had at least 8 children b 1833-1850 ALL born in Ohio per the 2 referenced Census records:
Mary S. b abt 1833
Thompson M. b abt 1835
James H. b abt 1838
Joseph S. b abt 1840
Sarah A. b abt 1841
Minerva Jane b abt 1844
John [C.? or H.?] b abt 1848
William B. b abt 1850

1885 Iowa State Census: Widowed Agnes is living with her son, Joseph S., & his wife Sarah Ewing in Marshall Co., Iowa.

I have had "little to zero" success tracking the other children. My main interest is in James and Agnes' daughter:

Minerva Jane Ewing
b Feb 1844 Ohio
m 1 Jan 1863 to David J. Randol [somtimes spelled "Randall"]

Per David's 1916 obit [SOURCE = Salinas Daily Index, Wed., 29 Mar 1916, p8, c3] Minerva "Minnie" was still alive.
David d 22 Mar 1916 Parkfield, Monterey, CA.
David is buried in Parkfield Cem. [formerly called Todd Cem.] Parkfield, Monterey, CA. [Civil War Vet]

I have no further information on Minerva Jane "Minnie" Ewing Randol/Randall. My hope and prayer is that if I can connect with another EWING family member, they may have additional information on Minerva. My Randol connections do not.

Hoping,
Sally Randol-Hardy

semiplenus — 2011-10-14 13:31:52Z

Hi Harriette,

My 4x ggrandfather, William Ewing b. 1790, was from County Tyrone, but I am not sure where. I'll second Karen Avery's suggestions to visit the Ewing Family website and, if a living male Ewing is willing, to have a Y-DNA test performed. I've done one myself and am still hoping for close matches for someone with a Tyrone background.

Good luck and regards,
Mike Ewing

Re: Ewings in county Tyrone

Hi, My Ewing's came to Canada via Scotland, from Co Tyrone. Late 1780's thru 1820's. Finally settled in Quebec. Some went to the USA and I do know of some that stayed in Scotland. What I don't know is if any of the family stayed in Ireland.

Please let me know if you find your Ewing relatives in Omagh. I do have a rather new list of people currently living there including address and phone number. I would be happy to share via email.

Do you know about Ewing Family Association? Find us here:

We have a wonderful site and welcome all to our group. If you have a living Ewing male, his yDNA could be very helpful to you and the surname in general.

Hi Georgia, I was in York about five or six years ago trying to track the ever elusive Ewing's. And for you crossing state lines must be even more frustrating. If you do across anything I would appreciate the help and I will do the same:) Thank you-

Re: York County PA records more info James Ewing died 1855

GeorgiaE42 — 2011-09-27 21:09:47Z

Nikki, since you already have the cemetery inscriptions, there may not be much help I can give you. Have you visited the graves? Do you live in the area? I've now read some of your older queries, and have a better idea about your John and Margaret, and with this information, I'll leaf through some of my notes to see whether anything clicks. I've been looking at these people for many years, as I've hoped my own problems might be solved in the area, but, like you, sorting them out proves difficult! I am also interested in the Ebaughs and the Danners, partly across the state line in Maryland. Georgia

I have searched high and low for a Joseph Ewing born in PA in 1835. He married Mary Ann Pinkerton b.1835 Somerset, PA and d.1904 Newcastle, PA. They had one son Harry Eugene Ewing b.1865 Allegheny, PA and d.1945 Kansas City, MO. The family story is he went west never to be heard from again. Mary Ann then married Samuel Mckay (a widower) and they had a son Samuel Jr. born 1870. This came from an obituary for Mary Ann, who was my great grandmother. Most info on the Ewing/Pinkertons was from Beaver Falls, PA, Allegheny, Pa.

I am trying to research into my Grandmas relatives in Northern Ireland. My Grandmas name was Beatrice Zara Ewing and was born around the 1940's in Omagh. I believe her mothers name was Dot but Beatrice went to live on a farm with her grandma Ewing and cousins. I believe my Grandma has lots of cousins in Ireland called Georgina, Phil, Maud, Mirtle and many more.

Do the records on ancestry not cover Northern Ireland?

Can anyone help?

I am a grandson of Everett Eugene Ewing, great-grandson of Edward Edmund Ewing. Our grandfathers were brothers.

With the help of a cousin who knows how to do genealogy research I have the following census information. This added another generation - to John Ewing in Ohio.

I would like to see your photo of Lucina. I remember seeing her once or twice as a child.

We live in Longmont, Colorado, where Edward and Lucina lived for a time in the 1920’s. I have a newspaper clipping of Glady’s wedding which I could share, and photos of their house, which is still standing.

Best wishes,

"Know" that Wm. Ewing was married to my ancestress Margaret BISHOP b. 17 Jun 1783 in Brunswick, Maine. Her father was ABNER BISHOP who married my ancestress Mary ORR b. "1762". Her parents were JOSEPH ORR of ORR'S ISLAND, ME and LETTICE ELLIOTT Wier of Boston who was born "1720 in Durham, NH". She was the widow of William Wier, merchant of Boston.
I used quotation marks to show non-documentation. However, I have high standards, and what I've written I'm fairly certain is correct. This is my first time branching outside my own ancesters' direct descendants. Hope to get some feedback!
