Ewing filed by Robert Emberson Murdock (as surviving Executor) on 19 June 1848 (“Joseph P. Haigh & wife late Martha Ewing”, “A. Jeffrey guardian of Ebenezer Ewing”, “expenses of J. Ewing”, “Mrs Ann Murdock’s share of Estate”, “James Ewing’s share of Estate”, “Nancy Ewing … widow … the interest the principle due at her death”, “Mrs Martha Haigh”, “Mrs Ann Murdock”, “Mrs Eliza Cubbage heirs”, “Mrs Mary Stewart”, “Ebenezer Ewing”, “James Ewing (heirs)”, “Rev Alexander Ewing”).
• ResearchNote: Research Note: According to Riddle's records, Mary was born 1825, died in 1854, and married Joseph P. Stewart before 1841. Given the ages of her children, this birth date is too late. The death date is possibly a "typo". The marriage date is OK; she was married before her father made his will (May 1841).⁶

• GenName: David K. Ewing is referred to as 'William David Ewing' in some records.⁴

• Comment: "He built the present [1890] mill at Ewing's Mills postoffice[sic]."¹⁰ His father's Jun 1845 will bequeaths David the "land on which he lives adjoining lands with Charles Hayan and Wm Henderson on south and southwest and on north by a conditional line, including the mill and all the improvements." His father also owned the land on the other side of the conditional land and willed it to David's brother William.¹¹ He was the postmaster at Ewing's Mill in 1892.¹¹
• Census: Frances and David K. Ewing lived in Robinson Township, Allegheny Co, Pennsylvania, in 1830. Living at home with them was/were their child(ren) William; David Erving; 1 Male 0<>4, 1 Male 30<>40; 1 Female 5<>9, 1 Female 20<>30.¹²
• Census*: Frances and David K. Ewing lived in Robinson Township, Allegheny Co, Pennsylvania, in 1840. Living at home with them was/were their child(ren) Samuel, James, John and William; David Ewing; 1 Male 0<>4, 2 Males 5<>9, 1 Male 10<>14; 2 Males 40<>49, 1 Female 15<>20, 1 Female 30<>39.¹³
• ResearchNote: Research Note: (1) For David K. Ewing h/o Frances Margaret Woods, Riddle's records cite an unnamed son/daughter and a son David K. Ewing Jr. Ardinger's records instead cite sons Samuel J. and James Jr and shows a son David K. – who was known as "David K. Ewing Jr" – for David K.'s brother James. Riddle does not cite any children for David K.'s brother James. (2) The History of Allegheny Co says that David K. Ewing David K. Ewing h/o Frances Margaret Woods had four sons and only William was living in 1890. It also generally supports the fact that David K Jr was a son of David K.'s brother James. (3) For the son John Woods Ewing: WER's records cite 12 Sep 1831 and 1852 as dates of birth and death. Ardinger cites 1832-33 and 19 Feb 1854 for the death date, citing the Presbyterian Advocate Excerpts as the source. (4) Riddle’s reading of the Montour Cemetery says that the inscription for John Woods Ewing’s grave reads “died 185? (1854) in his 2? year”. (5) Ardinger’s source for the Samuel J.’s 1 Sep 1838 birth date is a 1919 Scott Family History. Ardinger’s source for James’ 1840/41 birth date is the 1850 Census, “Student, living with brother William and his Mother”, and results in his being married at age ~18. (6) Kraynek's information for James’ grave at Forest Grove Cemetery is: Ewing, James E. Jr, July 24 1830 - Dec. 11, 1872. Her information for Samuel J.’s grave is: Ewing, Samuel J., Oct. ___ - Feb. 12 ___. (7) The Montour Session minutes cite baptisms for David Ewing on 12 Sep 1831, 18 Nov 1833 and 20 Jan 1837. (8) This information has been merged as follows: a) The baptism on 12 Sep 1831 is assumed to be for William b. 15 Jul 1830, b) John Woods’ birth date is assumed to be ~1833 and the 18 Nov 1833 baptism is assumed to be for him, c) James’ birth date is assumed to be 1835/36 and the 20 Jan 1837 baptism is assumed to be for him, and d) 1 Sep 1838 is retained as Samuel J.’s birth date. Addendum: Census profiling suggests that the 12 Sep 1831 baptism is for James and that James was born ~1831. The 12 Sep 1831 baptism has been switched and the 20 Jan 1837 has been dropped pending further research. One possibility to consider is that there's yet another child, born ~1837, who died in infancy (within a census decade).^{1,14,10,6,15,16,17}
• ResearchNote: Research Note: Cemetery-related sources give the death date as "July 15, 1845". Ardinger quotes from the Presbyterian Advocate Excerpts: "Died on the 23rd at his residence ...". Ardinger's date is used as the date of death. The cemetery record's date is used as the date of interment.^1,7,6
• ResearchNote: Research Note: Census profiling implies a daughter who was born 1821/25 and died or left home prior to the 1850 census. [Her father's Will needs to be found to see if she is mentioned and has a married name.] This leads to using 1820/1824 as the marriage date range. This is consistent with the census profile for William and Elizabeth (Kirkpatrick) Ewing indicating that David K. Ewing was not living at home at the time of the 1820 census. There is, however, no separate census record for David K. Ewing in 1820. Perhaps he was living with his in-laws. Addendum: Including this daughter creates a problem with Frances Margaret's age at the time of her marriage and the first of this daughter. Ardinger cites >1813 as Frances Margaret's birth date. Census profiling leads to ~1810 as her birth date. Based on ~1810, Frances Margaret would have been 15 years old, at the most, when this daughter was born. Therefore, the possible daughter is not listed as a child. It remains to determine who she might be and why she appears in the 1830 census record. It also remains to determine where David K. was in 1820. One possibility that would explain all of this is that the daughter comes from a first marriage prior to 1820. More data are needed however before this can assumed to be the case.²
• ResearchNote: Research Note: An 1820 census record has not been found for David K. Ewing. He does not appear in the record for his father/mother. He would have been aged 25 in 1820. He may have married just before the census and might be included in the record for his in-laws.²
• ResearchNote: Research Note: The 1840 David K. and Frances Margaret (Woods) Ewing census record indicates a second male 40<>49 in the household. David K. died in 1845 and may have been "indisposed" to the point that someone was needed to help with farming.¹³
• ResearchNote: Research Note: Census profiling gives birth dates for some the children of David K. and Frances Margaret (Woods) Ewing that are quite different from those that come from other sources. They are all in roughly the same range, but they are generally a few years earlier and lead to a different birth order. The birth dates stemming from the census profiling are used, but more research is needed. In particular, the Montour Session Minutes should be re-checked and legal documents, for example, David K. Ewing's Will, should be located.²
• ResearchNote: Research Note: Eric Ewing cites a son, William David Ewing, having the same birth/death dates as David K. Ewing. This is probably the son2 who was born between 1790 and 1800 and died between 1810 and 1820. Possibly, he was a twin to David K. Ewing.⁴

• CensusOccValue*: William was a Farmer; Jane was a Housekeeper. They owned $8,720 of real estate. They had personal property valued at $1,126.¹⁵
• CensusWidower*: William was a Widower living in (Temperanceville Post Office) Robinson Township, Allegheny Co, Pennsylvania in 1870. His child(ren) Lizonia D., Robert B. and James William was/were living with him; Dwelling 20, Family 20; Real Estate Value 15000, Personal Estate Value 100; Wm Ewing, Farmer, 60; Lazona (House Keeper) - 15, Robt B - 13, W J - 11.¹⁶
• CensusOccValueSingle*: William was a Farmer. He owned $15,000 of real estate. He had personal property valued at $100.¹⁶
• Will*: William Ewing prepared a Will on 27 May 1875 at Robinson Township, Allegheny Co, Pennsylvania, (Abstract: Sound mind, memory and understanding. Estate real, personal and mixed, to children Lizoni D. Ewing, Robert B. Ewing and William James Ewing. Executors: W. Ebenezer Riddle of Robinson Township and William H. Ewing of Pittsburgh. Witnesses: R. W. Gibson and D. K. Ewing.).¹²
• Will-Filed*: His Will was filed on 30 October 1875 at Allegheny Co, Pennsylvania, (WB Vol. 18, pg. 620, No. 331).¹²
• ResearchNote: Research Note: Ardinger cites 1878 as the date of death; so does Kraynek. However, his Will was filed in 1875.^1,2,12
• ResearchNote: Research Note: For Lot A-149, McCandless cites an infant daughter, gives 3 Aug 1860 as the date of death, and says “date plain but remainder illegible”; Riddle's Montours Cemetery Compilation repeats this data. Riddle's records from his visit to the cemetery circa 1977 cite both an infant son (d. 21 Aug 1861) and an infant daughter (d. 3 Aug 1860) and says “infants of W & JN Ewing, Sr”. Ardinger cites “infants” but gives just one date of death: 21 Aug 1861. It’s assumed that there were two children who both died in infancy. Riddle's death dates are used. Birth dates come from an analysis of census records.^17,18,19,1,4
• ResearchNote: Research Note: Kraynek's notes about the Forest Grove grave - "Row 1, Item 40; Kraynek's Notes: Ewing, William, Sr., His Wife Jane Hoey, Their Son, Robert B. Ewing, 1810-1878" - imply that all three people are interred within the grave. However, since it is apparently a single grave, this is not at all clear. It might just be a grave for William Ewing. Supporting this is the fact that 1810-1878 refers to the birth/death dates for William Ewing.²
• ResearchNote: Research Note: Census records consistently show the Elizabeth and William Riddle family living next to Hewey/Hughy/Huey families. In addition the Huey plot is next to the Riddle plot. Finally, the patriarch of the Huey family named William Ewing as an Executor of his Will. This all indicates "ties" between these families. One implication is that the Jane A. Hoey Noble who married William Ewing (1810-1875) - s/o Elizabeth and William Riddle - may have "come from" this family in some way.^4,6

John Ewing

• Father*: William Ewing b. 1 Dec 1771, d. 23 Jun 1845
• Foster Mother*: Elizabeth Kirkpatrick b. c 1766, d. 18 Mar 1843

• Burial*: John Ewing is buried in the Montour Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Robinson Township, Allegheny Co, Pennsylvania, Lot: A-117; Inscription Stone #1: John Ewing died Nov. 25, 1829 aged 40 years; Inscription Stone #2: In memory of John Ewing who died Nov. 25, 1829 aged 40.^1,2,3
• Birth*: He was born circa 1789.^4,5,6
• He was the son of William Ewing and Elizabeth Kirkpatrick.
• Marriage*: John Ewing married (?) Hooper, daughter of Philip Hooper and Mary Hill, between 1800 and 1810.^4,5
• Death*: John Ewing died on 25 November 1829.^4,1,6
• Census: John Ewing was living at home with his parents in Robinson Township, Allegheny Co, Pennsylvania, in 1800; Wil'm Ewing; 3 Males 0<>9, 1 Male 16<>25, 1 male 26<>44; 1 Female 0<>9, 1 Female 26<>44.^7,5
• ResearchNote: Research Note: Riddle cites a son, John, of William and Elizabeth (Kirkpatrick) Ewing who died before 1845. Ardinger cites an unnamed Ewing, b. 1789, d. 1829. The data concerning these two people have been merged.^4,8
• ResearchNote: Research Note: In the Montour Cemetery, there are two distinct graves for a John Ewing b. 1789 and d. 25 Nov 1829. Riddle's personal check of the cemetery verified that there are, in fact, two graves (next to each other) marked with gravestones having identical inscriptions. McCandless’ Lot Sheet notes that one of the stones is marble, matching the stone for Elizabeth (Ewing) Woods to the north, and that the other stone is sandstone, matching the stone for Mary (McKown) Ewing to the south. The gravesite to the south is assumed to be for John Ewing son of William and Elizabeth (Kirkpatrick) Ewing and grandson of James and Mary (McKown) Ewing. There’s the possibility that the gravesite to the north is for someone related to Elizabeth (Ewing) Woods and who just happens to have the same genealogical data. This, however, is not very plausible. It’s assumed therefore that both stones refer to John Ewing son of William and Elizabeth (Kirkpatrick) Ewing.^1,4,2,3
• ResearchNote: Research Note: The Montour Session Minutes cite 20 Nov 1829 as his date of death. It's possible that he died on the 20th and was interred on the 25th.⁹
• ResearchNote: Research Note: Sources generally cite >1818 as marriage date for John and (Hooper) Ewing. According to census profiles, however, he is living at home in 1880 but not in the 1810 census. It is assumed that he married 1800/10. Since we was 21 years old in 1810, it's probable that the marriage date is within a couple of years at the end of this date range, i.e., 1809/10.⁵
• ResearchNote: Research Note: Census profiling gives 1775/1784 as his birth date range. However, his tombstone in the Montour Cemetery and the information in the Montour Session Minutes are consistent in specifying an 1789 birth date.^5,1,9

Hannah Jane Ewing

• Birth*: Hannah Jane Ewing was born in 1801.¹
• Death*: She died on 29 January 1838.¹
• Burial*: She is buried (interred January 1838) in the Montour Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Robinson Township, Allegheny Co, Pennsylvania, Lot A-79.5); Inscription: Hannah Jane, consort of William Ewing, died Jan 29 18?? (1830) (1838), in the 3? (30/37) (35) year of her age.¹
• Census: Hannah Jane Ewing.^2,3 was living at home with her parents in Robinson Township, Allegheny Co, Pennsylvania, in 1820; ...liam Ewing; 2 Males 10<>15, 1 Male 16<>18, 1 Male 45<, 1 Female 10<>15, 1 Female 26<>44, 1 Female 45<
• ResearchNote: Research Note: Her tombstone reads "Hannah Jane, consort of William Ewing Sr, died Jan 29 18?8 (1838) (1858), in the ?7 (37) (35) year of her age". The guess is "died Jan 29 1838 -- in the 37 year of her age".

Frances Margaret Woods¹

• Father*: William Woods b. 1771, d. 1834
• Foster Mother*: Frances Moore d. 1826

• Birth*: Frances Margaret Woods was born circa 1810 at Pennsylvania.^2,3,4
• She was the daughter of William Woods and Frances Moore.
• Marriage*: Frances Margaret Woods married David K. Ewing, son of William Ewing and Elizabeth Kirkpatrick, before 1828.^2,3,4
• Death*: Frances Margaret Woods died after 1880 at Ewing's Mill, Robinson Township, Allegheny Co, Pennsylvania.^1,2,3,4
• Married Name: As of before 1828,her married name was Ewing.^2,3
• Census: Frances and David K. Ewing lived in Robinson Township, Allegheny Co, Pennsylvania, in 1830. Living at home with them was/were their child(ren) William; David Erving; 1 Male 0<>4, 1 Male 30<>40; 1 Female 5<>9, 1 Female 20<>30.⁵
• Census*: Frances and David K. Ewing lived in Robinson Township, Allegheny Co, Pennsylvania, in 1840. Living at home with them was/were their child(ren) Samuel, James, John and William; David Ewing; 1 Male 0<>4, 2 Males 5<>9, 1 Male 10<>14; 2 Males 40<>49, 1 Female 15<>20, 1 Female 30<>39.⁶

(farmer) - 17, Samuel J. - 14, Frances (widow) - 40.^1,7
• Census: Frances Margaret Woods was a Widow in 1880, living in Moon Township, Allegheny Co, Pennsylvania, with her son William and daughter-in-law Elizabeth Marks Young; Dwelling 232; Family 238; William Ewing Jr, 52, Miller; Elizabeth (Wife), 49, Keeping House; Lizzie (Daughter), 28, (At Home); David K. (Son), 23, Grocer; John Y. (Son), 21, Farmer; Thomas M. (Son), 19, Farmer; Edwin (Son), 8, attending school; Francis M. (Mother), 77.⁸
• ResearchNote: Research Note: (1) For David K. Ewing h/o Frances Margaret Woods, Riddle's records cite an unnamed son/daughter and a son David K. Ewing Jr. Ardinger's records instead cite sons Samuel J. and James Jr and shows a son David K. – who was known as "David K. Ewing Jr" – for David K.'s brother James. Riddle does not cite any children for David K.'s brother James. (2) The History of Allegheny Co says that David K. Ewing David K. Ewing h/o Frances Margaret Woods had four sons and only William was living in 1890. It also generally supports the fact that David K Jr was a son of David K.'s brother James. (3) For the son John Woods Ewing: WER's records cite 12 Sep 1831 and 1852 as dates of birth and death. Ardinger cites 1832-33 and 19 Feb 1854 for the death date, citing the Presbyterian Advocate Excerpts as the source. (4) Riddle’s reading of the Montour Cemetery says that the inscription for John Woods Ewing’s grave reads “died 185? (1854) in his 2? year”. (5) Ardinger’s source for the Samuel J.’s 1 Sep 1838 birth date is a 1919 Scott Family History. Ardinger’s source for James’ 1840/41 birth date is the 1850 Census, “Student, living with brother William and his Mother”, and results in his being married at age ~18. (6) Kraynek's information for James’ grave at Forest Grove Cemetery is: Ewing, James E. Jr, July 24 1830 - Dec. 11, 1872. Her information for Samuel J.’s grave is: Ewing, Samuel J., Oct. ___ - Feb. 12 ___. (7) The Montour Session minutes cite baptisms for David Ewing on 12 Sep 1831, 18 Nov 1833 and 20 Jan 1837. (8) This information has been merged as follows: a) The baptism on 12 Sep 1831 is assumed to be for William b. 15 Jul 1830, b) John Woods’ birth date is assumed to be ~1833 and the 18 Nov 1833 baptism is assumed to be for him, c) James’ birth date is assumed to be 1835/36 and the 20 Jan 1837 baptism is assumed to be for him, and d) 1 Sep 1838 is retained as Samuel J.’s birth date. Addendum: Census profiling suggests that the 12 Sep 1831 baptism is for James and that James was born ~1831. The 12 Sep 1831 baptism has been switched and the 20 Jan 1837 has been dropped pending further research. One possibility to consider is that there's yet another child, born ~1837, who died in infancy (within a census decade).^{1,9,10,11,12,13,14}
• ResearchNote: Research Note: In the 1880 census entry for the William and Elizabeth Marks (Young) Ewing household, Ohio is given as the birthplace for each individual and their mother and Pennsylvania is given as the birthplace for each individual's father. This is certainly incorrect for most, perhaps all, of the individuals.⁸
• ResearchNote: Research Note: Census profiling implies a daughter who was born 1821/25 and died or left home prior to the 1850 census. [Her father's Will needs to be found to see if she is mentioned and has a married name.] This leads to using 1820/1824 as the marriage date range. This is consistent with the census profile for William and Elizabeth (Kirkpatrick) Ewing indicating that David K. Ewing was not living at home at the time of the 1820 census. There is, however, no separate census record for David K. Ewing in 1820. Perhaps he was living with his in-laws. Addendum: Including this daughter creates a problem with Frances Margaret's age at the time of her marriage and the first of this daughter. Ardinger cites >1813 as Frances Margaret's birth date. Census profiling leads to ~1810 as her birth date. Based on ~1810, Frances Margaret would have been 15 years old, at the most, when this daughter was born. Therefore, the possible daughter is not listed as a child. It remains to determine who she might be and why she appears in the 1830 census record. It also remains to determine where David K. was in 1820. One possibility that would explain all of this is that the daughter comes from a first marriage prior to 1820. More data are needed however before this can assumed to be the case.²
• ResearchNote: Research Note: The 1840 David K. and Frances Margaret (Woods) Ewing census record indicates a second male 40<>49 in the household. David K. died in 1845 and may have been "indisposed" to the point that someone was needed to help with farming.⁶
• ResearchNote: Research Note: Census profiling gives birth dates for some the children of David K. and Frances Margaret (Woods) Ewing that are quite different from those that come from other sources. They are all in roughly the same range, but they are generally a few years earlier and lead to a different birth order. The birth dates stemming from the census profiling are used, but more research is needed. In particular, the Montour Session Minutes should be re-checked and legal documents, for example, David K. Ewing's Will, should be located.²
• ResearchNote: Research Note: Frances Margaret (Woods) Ewing appears living in the household of her son, William Ewing, in 1850 and 1880. She doesn't, however, appear in her son's census record in 1860 or 1870. Nor can she be found in any other record for these years. There are, however, two possibilities in 1860: 1) there's a dwelling that in the "neighborhood" of relatives in Robinson Township that is classified as "unoccupied", and 2) also in Robinson township, there's a record for a 53-year old Margaret as head of household accompanied solely by a 13-year old farm laborer, James Fitzgerald.²

These dates are merged to give 12 Sep 1831 as the birth date and 19 Feb 1854 as the date of death. Addendum (13 Oct 2005): Census profiling implies a ~1833 date of birth.

• Religion*: James Ewing was a member of the Forest Grove Presbyterian Church at Coraopolis Township, Allegheny Co, Pennsylvania.¹
• ResearchNote: Research Note: (1) For David K. Ewing h/o Frances Margaret Woods, Riddle's records cite an unnamed son/daughter and a son David K. Ewing Jr. Ardinger's records instead cite sons Samuel J. and James Jr and shows a son David K. – who was known as "David K. Ewing Jr" – for David K.'s brother James. Riddle does not cite any children for David K.'s brother James. (2) The History of Allegheny Co says that David K. Ewing David K. Ewing h/o Frances Margaret Woods had four sons and only William was living in 1890. It also generally supports the fact that David K Jr was a son of David K.'s brother James. (3) For the son John Woods Ewing: WER's records cite 12 Sep 1831 and 1852 as dates of birth and death. Ardinger cites 1832-33 and 19 Feb 1854 for the death date, citing the Presbyterian Advocate Excerpts as the source. (4) Riddle’s reading of the Montour Cemetery says that the inscription for John Woods Ewing’s grave reads “died 185? (1854) in his 2? year”. (5) Ardinger’s source for the Samuel J.’s 1 Sep 1838 birth date is a 1919 Scott Family History. Ardinger’s source for James’ 1840/41 birth date is the 1850 Census, “Student, living with brother William and his Mother”, and results in his being married at age ~18. (6) Kraynek's information for James’ grave at Forest Grove Cemetery is: Ewing, James E. Jr, July 24 1830 - Dec. 11, 1872. Her information for Samuel J.’s grave is: Ewing, Samuel J., Oct. ___ - Feb. 12 ___. (7) The Montour Session minutes cite baptisms for David Ewing on 12 Sep 1831, 18 Nov 1833 and 20 Jan 1837. (8) This information has been merged as follows: a) The baptism on 12 Sep 1831 is assumed to be for William b. 15 Jul 1830, b) John Woods’ birth date is assumed to be ~1833 and the 18 Nov 1833 baptism is assumed to be for him, c) James’ birth date is assumed to be 1835/36 and the 20 Jan 1837 baptism is assumed to be for him, and d) 1 Sep 1838 is retained as Samuel J.’s birth date. Addendum: Census profiling suggests that the 12 Sep 1831 baptism is for James and that James was born ~1831. The 12 Sep 1831 baptism has been switched and the 20 Jan 1837 has been dropped pending further research. One possibility to consider is that there's yet another child, born ~1837, who died in infancy (within a census decade).^{1,10,11,12,5,2,13}
• ResearchNote: Research Note: Census profiling gives birth dates for some the children of David K. and Frances Margaret (Woods) Ewing that are quite different from those that come from other sources. They are all in roughly the same range, but they are generally a few years earlier and lead to a different birth order. The birth dates stemming from the census profiling are used, but more research is needed. In particular, the Montour Session Minutes should be re-checked and legal documents, for example, David K. Ewing's Will, should be located.³
• ResearchNote: Research Note: Riddle's records say that Sarah Denniston Ewing was James Ewing's step-daughter. This implies that Margaretta Stewart Cunningham was James' second wife, that there's a first wife, and that the first wife was the mother of the other children. However, this is not supported by census records; the records from 1860 to 1880 all list Margaretta as the wife.¹⁰

• ResearchNote: Research Note: The 1880 Census shows Matthew and Sarah W. (Ewing) Phillips living near some potential relatives: (widow) Martha Phillips whose father was born in Ireland unlike Matthew's father, who was born in Pennsylvania, so she may be a cousin; John M. Woods (42), Sarah (37), several children, and William McCoy (83 and possibly father of Sarah).⁵
