This may be the earliest reference to Clan Mac Eoghain (Ewing/Ewen) that we have. It is part of a genealogical record from 1467. For the details, please check the site www.1467manuscript.co.uk/. According to former EFA Chancellor David N. Ewing, "This website consists of images of the original document and a fastidious analysis that really opened my eyes--allowing me to see how little we know and how tenuous our understanding really is."
Beth Ewing Toscos directs us to Martin MacGregor, Genealogies of the clans: contributions to the study of MS 1467 (pdf). She writes, "(This) link gives some additional information re. the 1467 MS. A much quoted author appears to be David Sellar, previous Lord Lyon. Begin reading at p. 139."
