From the Introduction:
"The chief object of our effort is to compile a trustworthy record of
so much of the Ewing family or families since early in the eighteenth
century, as will disclose to those among whom our book may circulate,
an intelligent account of those ancestral lines which trace back to
the original Scotch-Irish stock. To accomplish our purpose we shall
be obliged to come down from two starting points, the one in the union
of Findley Ewing and Jane Porter of Londonderry, Ireland, in the year
1690, the other in the union of William Ewing and Eleanor Thompson of
Pennsylvania, prior to the Revolutionary War, or about 1765. The
reason for tracing these two particular family lines is their meeting
in the marriage of James Henry Ewing of the second part of this volume
to Eleanor Jane Rhea of the first in the year 1852."
