EWING ORIGINS
The Ewings are of Scottish descent, originally from the West of Scotland,
near Glasgow. They were located on the River Forth, near Stirling Castle,
in the vicinity of Loch Lomond. Their religion was Presbyterian. The
reproduction of the coat of arms, above, was recognized by the Hon.
Thomas Ewing family as coming rrom Scottish ancestors. near the lower
middle of the drawing is "Mask Ewing," short for Maskell Ewing.
During the min-1600's, there was great religious persecution of the
Protestants in Scotland. According to the tradition of the Ewing clan,
the Ewings of America trace their origin to six stalwart brothers of a
Highland clan, who, with their chieftain, engaged in insurrection in
1685, in which they were defeated, their chieftain captured and executed
and themselves outlawed It is told that our Ewing ancestors first went
from their seat on the River Forth to the Isle of Bute, in Scotland and
then settled at or near Coleraine, County Londonderry, of Ulster, in
Northern Ireland. On July 12, 1690, members of the Ewing Clan took part
in the Battle of the Boyne, fought on the river of that name in Eastern
Ireland. In this battle, King James II was opposed by William of Orange
who was fighting for the Irish Protestants. The result of this battle was
the complete overthrow of James, thus forcing his abdication of the
throne and establishing the rule of William and Mary. The anniversary of
this battle is still celebrated by the Orangemen, or Irish Portestants.
Who were these six stalwart Ewing brothers? Much research still needs to
be done but at this point in time, the brothers might have included John
Ewing of Carnshanagh; Robert Ewing, father of Alexander; Findley Ewing,
father of Thomas; James Ewing of Inch Island; William Ewing, father of
Nathaniel; and possibly an Alexander Ewing.
Robert and his brother Charles left Coleraine, Londonderry, Ulster
Ireland between 1735-47 to USA staying with cousin Nathaniel Ewing in
Cecil, Maryland, then on to Bedford VA with cousin James. Robert and
Charles married sisters who were daughters of Caleb and Martha Brooks
Baker. Robert Married Mary and Charles married Martha both about 1750 in
Bedford, VA.
ROBERT EWING'S story was the same as many a settler of the Scotch-Irish
tribe. Born in Londonderry, Ireland in 1715/18, he had come with his
family to America when he was Peter (Kelly)'s age, in 1733. They had
originally settled in Chester Co., in Pennsylvania but the lure of cheap
land after the Govenor of Virginia opened up new land in the foothills of
the Blue Ridge, drew them (with the Bakers), to Virginia in 1741. Young
Robert had met and married MARY BAKER, the daughter of Reverend Caleb
Baker, over Baker's objections of course, but love won out in the end and
the couple bore a "galaxy" of sons and daughters. Robert remained a
Justice for many years; he raised the Militia for the County during the
French and Indian War and fought with the Indians at Point Pleasant.
NATHANIEL EWING, 1692 Coleraine, Londonderry, Ireland was son of William,
1665, b. near Stirling Castle, Scotland; William was son of William and
Eliza Milford Ewing. ROBERT & NATHANIEL are cousins, and they stopped in
Maryland on their way to VA when they immigrated. (Source: Kris Oleson on
