Descendants of Thomas McEwen
Before I start the genealogy. I want to explain why neither James or
John is not at the
head of our genealogy.
There are two groups from the
internet that claim they know who Thomas McEwen's parents were. One
side claims John McEwen and Margaret Barnett were the parents while
the other side claims James and Isabella Miller were Thomas McEwen's
parents.
I have found some secondary evidence
from the Genforum, which could be researched further, that James could
not have been the father. To find them go to the McEwen surname in the
GenForum, then in the "Jump to #" search box put in 301 and
also 314.
On the other hand If you look
at the birthdate for John which is Bef 1665, John would have had to be
at least 65 years old to be Thomas' father. Looks like neither side is
correct so far.
In
Peggy Loos website which I have listed above as, "McEwen
Descendent Chart". There is a father for Thomas McEwen/McQuown.
His name is James Hugh McEwen and his wife is listed as Sarah
"Sallie" Miller. I went to the Mcewen
Family Genealogy Forum
and found some postings that offer enough proof why James Hugh and
Sally could not be Thomas's father.
They
are placed here below.

James & Isabella Miller McEwen did not have a son Thomas , and no
where have we ever seen nor heard of her carring the name Sarah.
his family and there children are well documented, the family had to
prove it's self to collect an inhairidents left to Isabella by her
brother David in Scotland.
Thier
grandson Alex is the son of James & Sarah McKnight McEwen, Alex
married Hannah Fleming.

You are correct James Jr married Sarah McKnight, Wiliam married Sarah
Kerr, I decend from James & Isibella's son David, a book you
should have is the "Dickson-McEwen and allied families
Families" covers James and Isabella line right down to date, the
only son not covered is Danuel's , his family you will find in the
Rowan & Mecklinburg Co,NC area, they mix with the Buchanan's &
Neely's as well.

Mona,
sorry about not getting back to you sooner. The information I have on
James
Hill McEwen comes from a photostat copy of Alexander McEwen's Family Group
Sheet. This was put together by Barbara Sudduth Lyle. She has been
involved in genealogy for a number of years and cites her source as J.
E. McEwen. This is either Sr. or Jr. with Sr. being the great grandson
of
James
Hill. J. E., Sr. died in 1940 and J. E., Jr. was born in 1912 and may
be
dead, probably is. As far as addresses on this family I can only look
in
the
McEwen Book and go up the line looking at places of birth, by the way
J.
E. stands for Jessie Elton. I also have a transcribed copy of a Family
Group
Sheet on James Hill McEwen given to me by Frances Nail.
We
probably got Thomas's date wrong. I am looking at the abstract of the
will
of Thomas McQuown. His statement starts out dated 25 March 1781. Down
at the bottom by the names of the witnesses the date is July 1781. I
will blame the proofreaders on that one.
Information
for Alexander came again from his Family Group Sheet by Barbara
Sudduth. I thought I had something else but all these piles of paper
tend to merge and I will have to look some more. As for the
beginning we are not sure that John and John, Jr. even belong. We put
our escape clause on the title page. We have had a James McEwen with
sons Hugh and Thomas (us) at the top. If we are through James then
Hugh will carry the family down to Stonewall Jackson. Really, I
consider it bait, hoping someone will come along and say it is right
or say it is wrong and show me why.
Right
now I am changing my major focus to my Holman ancestors but still
dabble
with the McEwen side. Keep in touch and let me know if you think I can
help.
Jim
The
death date and interment that Jim Holman has in his book is different
that what I have. His date is 26 May 1844 in Randolph Co., Ga. and his
interment is in Randolph Co., Ga.
