Eleanor Thompson/Wm. Ewing, Cumberland/Franklin Co.
I'm still looking for information about Eleanor Thompson (or her family) who married William Ewing about 1760, probably either in Ireland or in PA. They lived in present-day Franklin County in the 1770s(Cumberland County at that time). The family lived on Upper Conococheague Creek near Mercersburg, PA, and their children -- Adam, Isabella, John, Robert, James and Alexender Ewing were born there. Robert and Alexander were christened at the Upper Conococheague Presbyterian Church in the late 1770s.
Any information would be appreciated, as we have found nothing on the parents of either family before this time. I am enrolled in the Family Tree DNA project and have found my Ewing line is not related to the largest group of Ewings who immigrated from Scotland via Ireland.
