Oliver's will must be assumed to be more authoritative on the delination
of family relationships because it is written by somebody with first-hand
knowledge; therefore, I will assume that the more accurate statement of
family relationships is the second source. Following this reasoning, I
must assume that the following discrepancies in the description of the
family of James, above, are incorrect unless shown otherwise with further
evidence: Oliver's sister Jean, husband's name is probably Patton
instead of Patterson; Joseph's daughter named Sidney is not Sidney
McNutt; that Sidney is the sister of Oliver and the sister of Joseph, not
his daughter. Oliver has several more siblings not named in the James
family group; these include Fanny [married Charlton], Susanna [married
William Sprowl], John, and Sidney [married James McNutt]. Perhaps these
children are from a second wife; if, however, Oliver d. 1823 is the son
of Capt. James Ewing, these other Ewing children are his as well. It
also appears that the first source may have simply listed some of the
additional siblings of Oliver as children of Joseph; thus, I cannot
assume that the enumeration of Joseph's children in the first source is
accurate without other substantiation. Additional information comes from
the Monroe County Ewing Wills Abstracts above. In that list, we find
that Joseph's son Oliver's will names his sister "Sidney Nelson," which
correctly differentiates between that Sidney and the Sidney who married
James McNutt. Also, that will correctly summarizes the list of Joseph's
children if we assume that the Robert Ewing, the William Ewing, and the
James Ewing on that list were all three Joseph's children who predeceased
Oliver.
Oliver died 1823: at that time, Alive: Nephew Oliver, son of Samuel;
Niece Sidney, daughter of Samuel; Fanny, daughter of Joseph; Jean
Charlton, daughter of Fanny; Jean Patton, sister; William, brother
[error?]; Joseph, son of Samuel. Also at that time, Predeceased (by
reference to "heirs"): James, brother [so, therefore, the James who died
in 1834 could not have been the brother; probably a nephew]; Fanny Ewing,
sister [last name should be Charlton?; possibly a sister-in-law?];
Susanna Sprowl, sister; John, brother; Sidney McNutt, sister. By 1847
when the nephew Oliver drafts his will, his sisters Frances and Sidney
Nelson are still alive, as well as his brothers Joseph and
John.[McNutt7.FTW]
