  • ResearchNote: Research Note: According to Fife: "No true record [regarding William Ewing (1742-??)] has been found except the grant of land near Samuel. ... Stonecipher said that he moved with brother Samuel to the Redstone Country near Pittsburgh. I have been unable to sort him out among the others named William there. Washington Co., PA (where the Warrantee was made) part was used to form Allegheny Co. in 1788. Washington created in 1781 from “the vast tract of Cumberland Co." spawned many new counties quite soon and County lines were, early, difficult to determine."5

They are therefore much alarmed at a certain Mark Alexander's attempting to escheat it, who, if he succeeds will have it in his power to ruin members of said inhabitants and greatly distress them.’ The petitioners asked the General Assembly of Maryland to pass a law to avert this danger. Petition signed 1779, 3 December by many including: David Patten, Amos Ewing, Moses Ewing.”.8 [Reference: “Petition of Tenants of Susquehannah Manor for Titles in Fee of their Respective Holdings.” Maryland Historical Magazine, Vol. 5 pp 58-60.]

  • ResearchNote: Research Note: Samuel and Mary (Ewing) McKown were married in 1825. However, Mary appears in the 1830 census record for William and Jane (Walker) Ewing. It's assumed that the otherwise unidentified male 20<>29 appearing in this 1830 census record is Samuel McKown. Note that this implies he may be the unidentified male 19<>25 appearing in the 1820 census record for William and Jane (Walker) Ewing. Also note that a problem with this assumption is that the children, John and Ewing, born before 1830 to Samuel and Mary (Ewing) McKown do not appear in the census record.2
