William Ewing m. ?

William Ewing was born in 1630 in Scotland. Died in Londonderry, in Northern Ireland. "William of Glasgow" and "William of Loch Lomond". Born near these places, after marriage he settled on the River Forth near Stirling Castle. Compelled to flee from this place (Catholic King James I of England persecuted the Protestants).Sought refuge with his family on the Isle of Bute, then drifted to Londonderry in N. Ireland (was once Derry, then taken over by the Brits).

No one has been able to find records for our specific Ewing ancestors in Scotland, and many have looked--but there is agreement among the genealogists (including Reid Ewing) that the Ewings were living in west central Scotland, near Glasgow. They were located on the River Forth, near Stirling Castle, in the vicinity of Loch Lomond.

According to tradition, the Ewings of America trace their origin to six stalwart Presbyterian brothers who engaged in insurrection against the Catholic government in 1685, a battle in which they were defeated. It is told that after this defeat, 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. One of these stalwart brothers was William Ewing, our ancestor. His children were all born in Ireland and it is known that he had several wives. There are lots of records for the Scotch-Irish Ewing family in Ireland, so that part is confirmed.

On July 12, 1690, members of the Ewing family took part in the Battle of the Boyne, fought on the river of that name in Eastern Ireland. The contestants were the forces of James II and William of Orange. The result of the battle was the complete overthrow of James, thus forcing his abdication and establishing the rule of William and Mary. It is reported that three Ewing men lost their lives in the Battle of the Boyne. Captain Findlay Ewing, (born about 1650, either brother or cousin to our William) was awarded a silver sword by King William in recognition of bravery during the battle. The sword was silver-handled and was worn during the American Revolution by a Dr. Thomas Ewing, an army surgeon and great grandson of its original owner. A ship called the "Eagle Wing" transported the Ewings from Northern Ireland to America about 1725. The children of William Ewing settled in Cecil County, Maryland and Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.

Married unnknown.
