James Ewing (1785-1869) from County Donegal in Ireland
James Ewing is my 5th Great Grandfather. I am not positive of exactly where in County Donegal his family is from, but I have a few places that I know his daughters wrote letters from: Magheracorran, Convoy, and Drumgumberland. I have found marriages for two of James' daughters stating that they came from Drumgumberland. My 4th Great Grandfather passed along letters from Ireland and they don't give all the facts, but give many names.
James has at least three nephews: Alexander Ewing, Samuel Ewing, and Samuel Ewing (both Samuels were probably from different fathers). James had two daughters whose names are Margaret (William McCauley) and Anne (Thomas Kee)and one other son, James Jr. (possibly known as Robert). Margaret moved to Hardin County, Ohio and her future generations most likely still live there. James Jr. moved to the Hardin County, Ohio area as well.Anne probably stayed in Ireland until her death, but many of her children moved to the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area with the surname of Kee. I am not sure where any of these relatives live now.
Please, I have been researching my Ewing family with very little luck. Every bit of info helps!
