Archivist   Betty Ewing Whitmer
AirReservations at hotmail dot com

Betty lives on 107 acres in Northeast Ohio, raising beef cattle with her husband, Stanley, of fifty-five years. Betty is the retired Bethlehem Township Fiscal Officer and has worked twenty years in the local village quilt shop. Her genealogy research activities began in the 1960's while raising her son and two daughters. Betty's personal records include volumes of records on her father, Rev. Dewey A. Ewing, her mother's family and her husband's parents. Betty put her detail skills to work when she was appointed the Association's Archivist. She began this work by organizing and cataloguing the records of Ellsworth Ewing, Margaret Fife and Myrtle Roe. These records were then placed in the Cecil County Historical Society where they remain today, updated by Betty as new information is submitted. Betty has been a member of the Ewing Family Association since 1988 and has attended all but the first gathering in Vincennes and the Nashville gathering.

Jill Ewing Spitler joined the Ewing Family Association in 1998 when Rev. Ellsworth S. Ewing and wife Dorothy visited and stayed with her and her brother Joe in Loudonville, Ohio. Ellsworth had written Joe a couple times thinking we might be related, because Ellsworth's family came from Hayesville, just a few miles down the road in Ashland County, Ohio. Jill has been a Board Member since the Board was first formed in San Antonio, Texas. She has also been Chair of the Board, Chair of the Lancaster, Ohio, Gathering, instrumental in starting the Research Room as a get-acquainted and find-information resource for gathering attendees, and Editor of the Journal for four years. She is starting her second term as Membership Coordinator.

John Ewin is a third great-grandson of James Ewin Sr. born in Drumcliff, County Sligo, Ireland, to William and Mary Ewing. James dropped the 'g' before emigrating to New York County, New York (now Manhattan), with his family in 1820. John and his son have their own web site at www.ewin.org with much more information on his family line. John retired from Amtrak after thirty-plus years and currently lives in Brunswick, Maryland. John joined the Ewing Family Association before attending the 2006 Gathering in Fort Wayne. He is "JC" in the Ewing Surname Y-DNA study, linking him closely with the Ewing modal, but is still searching for the paper trail.
