- The birth of this William Ewing, brothers Samuel and James were not
recorded in the Burt Congregation Register. However, there is no doubt
that William is a son to John Ewing and Jennet McElvaney. In an old Ewing
cemetery nears Stephens City, VA, there are headstones that have been
uncovered belonging to early family members. This location is where
William Ewing, son of John, settled. Most notable are the partial stone
of William and Samuel's headstone. The stone of Elizabeth Ewing Jamison,
daughter of Samuel, also has been found there.
- Family settled in southern Chester County, PA near the Lancaster and
Cecil County, MD lines.
