Note: [McNutt7.FTW]
There is universal agreement that William Ewing, of the old Loch Lomond
or Glasgow Clan was born within the old clan territory in Scotland within
the environs of Stirling Castle. In or about 1685, he emigrated to
Ulster, Ireland, near Coleraine where many of his clan kindred had lived
for many years. In Passion Week of 1685, the rites of the Church of Rome
were openly celebrated at Westminster with full splendor, and in the same
year, the suppression of the Duke of Monmouth's rebellion in England, and
that of the Earl of Argyll in Scotland, was followed by great severities,
practiced by the King (James II of England and VII of Scotland),
resulting in many of the Scotch Presbyterians fleeing from Scotland to
the North of Ireland to escape the religious persecutions imposed upon
them.
His children were born in Ireland and it is known that he had several
wives. The children of William Ewing emigrated to America about 1725 from
Coleraine, Ireland and some of them settled in Cecil County, Maryland,
some in Pennsylvania, and several in Virginia.
To this branch of the Ewing family, through one of William's sons, belong
Adlai Ewing Stevenson, a distinguished lawyer and legislator,
Vice-president of the United States in 1893-97; James S. Ewing, United
States minister to Belgium during the same period; and many other notable
men and women.
