Clan Ewing of
Scotland

Transcribed by Patricia E. Hammond

From the author:
"This sketch treats
... some of the American Ewing families which are descended from
ancient Clan Ewing of Scotland. Bearing a similar name, there were other early clans of that
country in no way connected with or related to our clan, such as the McEwens, the Ewens; and
probably in later times some of their descendants came to spell the name Ewing, though not
related to or descended from the clan from which I trace the families of which I here specially
write.
"For light upon our
clan and its descendants, all sources of information,
primary and secondary, accessible in all the larger libraries of the
United States, have been consulted. Much of this material consists of |

original Scotch and Irish records of one kind
or another that have been published and are to be had in the larger
libraries. This information has been supplemented by examinations of
unpublished records in both Scotland and Ireland.
"Outside
of the libraries, in this country the primary sources of our information
are the hundreds of deeds, wills, and court entries found in the clerks
offices of the several counties in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina and other States where our early
American ancestors lived. A very large number of these were
examined. ..."
About this
Information
This
online posting
was made possible by Pat Hammond; she has spent many, many hours
transcribing and proofing the material. It duplicates
what E.W.R. Ewing published in 1922. Extra care has been taken to keep the
text as it was originally published, but spelling and grammar
changes have been made when they are obviously appropriate.
There
are also errors of fact in this book that we have not corrected. Over
time, we plan to add annotations that will clear up some of these errors.
In particular, new information found over the past 85 years
allows us to correct the lineage of a few Ewings presented in this
book.
