All rights reserved. i Journal of Clan Ewing Vol. 13, No. 4 (November 2007) Editor's Note William Ewing Riddle, Editor (+1 505.988.1092, Riddle at WmERiddle dot com) Two article series continue in this issue of the Journal: • Two articles extend the genealogical and historical context for the upcoming 2008 Gathering, Echoes of the Shenandoah, Winchester, Virginia, 18-21, 2008. The second part of Evelyn Jones Ewing's report on the descendants of John Ewing of Carnashannagh treats the descendants of John's son William (c1711-1781) and William's son Samuel (1767-1840/50). Darryl DaHarb's companion article details the descendants of William's son John (1754-1832). These two articles, along with Evelyn Jones Ewing's article in the previous issue of the Journal, provide very complete genealogical data on this branch of the Ewing family. • David Neal Ewing's twelfth article on the results of the Ewing Surname Y-DNA Project speaks about participants in the project who are not related to one another or the large group of closely related Ewings. He explains how these men fit into the classification schemes of several other researchers. In a related article, Steven Colson talks about a DNA cluster that he believes is specific to Strathclyde, Scotland, and about how two of the Ewing Surname Y-DNA Project participants fit into this cluster. In a delightful third article in this issue, Jane Gilbert chronicles her search, using Y-DNA testing evidence, for the genealogical data for the father, Oscar Ewing, of one of the Ewing Surname Y-DNA Project's participants, David Lee Ewing. Data vs. Information I hope you have noticed my attempt to move the Journal from relating data to providing information. Data are important, but every day you and I discover additional new data, some of which brings existing data into question. As such, data should be provided in some malleable, easily changed medium—a place (for example the Clan Ewing web site) where the data can be continuously updated to provide "best known to date" data—rather than in an unchangeable medium—such as the Journal—in which once the data have "gone to press" they can not be changed. The Y-DNA articles demonstrate one way to minimize data and emphasize information. They analyze traditional genealogical data with respect to Y-DNA test results and provide insight into how the results may be applied in practice. The articles providing a context for the 2008 Gathering give "sociological" information that goes beyond the facts and figures of birth/marriage/children/death/burial data provided by many genealogical reports to give insights about our ancestors' lives. I will continue to actively seek articles that move the Journal in the direction of providing insightful, interesting information rather than merely reporting genealogical data. Go Green! Previously, we invited members to receive issues of the Journal electronically rather than by regular, Snail, mail. The response was somewhat under-whelming. Please consider this option and let me know if you would like to get your issues earlier than they would appear in your mailbox, to receive color copies, and to help Clan Ewing reduce its expenses!

  • Chapter I the Name Ewing
    CHAPTER I THE NAME EWING Discussions of where this name originated have been continuing for many years. The SCOTTISH CLAN with which it might have been associated is a debatable one. In Scottish Tartans & Clans by Sir Thomas Innes of Learney (Emeritus Lord Lyon, King of Arms), Johnson and Bacon about 1945 [13th Printing Edinburgh and London] page 5 states: “In Scotland, Clan came to mean a group of families occupying a definite locality-a particular glen, or an island. These families shared-or claimed to share-their descent from a common ancestor and as such he was the CHIEF of the Clan ... The Tartans shown in this book are authentic-that is to say, the Sett [plaid weave] has been defined by the chief of the Clan to the satisfaction of the Lyon Court and the description is officially recorded in the ‘Public Register of All Arms and Bearings’.” On page 8, he also states: “EWAN, Ewen are connected with the MacLachlan Clan. EWING is also connected with the MacLachlan Clan.” On page 76 is an explanation of MacLachlan: “Maclachlan is a Celtic Clan. The Maclachlan of that Ilk have resided from time immemorial in Strathlachlan in Argylshire. The district was once called Kilmortie.” On page 10 begins the discussion of MacEwan: “MacEwan or MacEwen are connected with the MacEwan Clan.” On page 65, he continues: “Cowal was originally the home of this Clan. On the East Coast of Glenfyne there stood in 1750 the ruins of the MacEwan Castle. The first MacEwan Chief on record lived in 1200.” In Highland Clans and Tartans, by R.

    Clan Macpherson Association (Australian Branch) Website www.clan-macpherson.org April 2017 Newsletter Bundanoon is Brigadoon Notwithstanding the very wet weather in New South Wales in late March, a Clan Macpherson tent was mounted at Bundanoon on Saturday 1st April. By a happy coincidence this year, Cluny celebrated his birthday on the same day with his family at Newton Castle, Blairgowrie. But not before telling me of his memories of the same day in 2000 when he, accompanied by the late Lady Cluny was Chieftain of the Day, supported by a large retinue of clansmen and women. He said; Sheila and I loved our day there---warmest of memories.’ Notwithstanding the prior wet weather, closure of the adjoining car parks, and an early start, a large crowd assembled with several clan groups joining the March of the Clans and Bands. Of the latter 25 attended this year, and included two bands wearing the red Macpherson tartan; Launceston (Tasmania) City Pipes and Drums and the Knox Grammar School Old Boys Pipe Band. L to R, Jimmy Barnes, Chieftain of the Day, John L Macpherson and Euan Noble at Bundanoon. Visitors to the Clan Macpherson tent included several potential members from across New South Wales and Victoria. We were also pleased to have Euan Noble, the son of former CMA Chairman Shelagh Macpherson-Noble, join us for day. Euan is now working in Australia and has joined us from the Scottish and Northern Ireland Branch.

    ********************************************************************************* GENEALOGISTS FOR THE SCOTTISH CLANS by Robert D. McLaren 7810 Kincardine Court Alexandria, VA 22315-4025 (703) 971-6924 [email protected] 8 April 2000 Version 2000-3 © Copyright 2000 Robert D. McLaren The following list is a compilation of Clan Genealogists or Clan points of contact for genealogy (for the Scottish Clans and Family Associations). The amount of information available from these genealogists varies greatly, with some having extensive records. For example, the clan genealogist for Clan Scott maintains a database of all SCOTTs and is a coordinator of the SCOTT One Name Society. He has about 53,000 records on file dealing with more than 2,000 family lines. The clan genealogist/historian for Clan Barclay also is a coordinator for the BARCLAY One Name Society. She has about 19,000 BARCLAY/BARKLEY and collateral names on file dealing with 125 family lines. The Clan Morrison historian has a 6,000-name database of MORRISON families in the U.S. and Canada. Some clans have genealogy committees. When I learn about them I will include committee members in this listing. Some of these members only cover one or a few states. In these cases, I note the states that particular member covers. Also, some clan genealogists specialize in one surname of a clan. Clan MacKay, for example, has many surname genealogists. I am listing these surnames under the parent clan with a note (i.e., See also Mackie). The actual genealogist and his/her address will be listed under the surname (i.e., Mackie). For some clans, more than one society exists.

  • Mccowns in Lorn
    McCowns in Lorn As you know, I spent four weeks at Dunollie House in Oban, the Seat of Clan MacDougall, studying a collection of historical documents preserved by the MacDougall family. The collection is being newly archived in renovated rooms of the wing of Dunollie House that was built in 1745 when the family moved down from Dunollie castle. The project, described on www.dunollie.org, is a major step for the MacDougall of Dunollie Preservation Trust. Subsequent stages will turn Dunollie into a significant historical and archaeological center. My minor role this last summer is somewhat described in the History section of www.dunollie.org and in my trip report for the MacDougall McCallum Heritage Foundation at http://www.macdougallmccallumheritagefoundation.org/1. The area around Oban, in fact all of Lorn, is a very comfortable location for McCowns. The name is known. Although our numbers are not great, MacCowns have been here for centuries and most people assume you or your people probably belong here. The name can be found on tombstones in surrounding cemeteries. There is a plaque on the wall outside the Argyll and Bute offices in Oban to Provost Hugh McCowan, founder of An Comunn Gàidhlig (ACG) in 1891 and the first Gaelic Mòd in Oban in 1892. In an email exchange with Leonard McCown, on his last birthday, I said I had pulled together some reflections and observations on McCowns that I had made during and before my stay, and promised to circulate them to him and others who might have an interest. I have since made that same promise to other McCowns.

Subject to the submittal ofhistorical documents, genealogies, and. several group meetings, in 2014 the Lord Lyon determined that two distinct groups existed which might be considered as rightful clans; Clan Ewen and Clan Ewing.

In June 2014 a majority of members of the Clan Ewen Soci- ety appointed Sir John McEwen, 5tr' Baronet of Marchmont and Bardrochat, as the commander of Clan MacEwen. In keeping with the rules of organization established by the Lord Lyon, over the last five years, the Clan has conducted organi- zational meetings, solicitations, and corresponded with those in- terested membersall around the wor1d.

  • A Chief for Clan Ewen? – Part I David Neal Ewing, Chancellor (+1 505.764.8704, Davidewing93 at Gmail Dot Com)
    Vol. 17, No. 2 (May 2011) Ewing Family Journal 15 A Chief for Clan Ewen? – Part I David Neal Ewing, Chancellor (+1 505.764.8704, DavidEwing93 at gmail dot com) In my Chancellor's Message in the last issue of this Journal1 I announced that the Lord Lyon2 plans to hold a 'family convention'3 in Scotland to determine whether a chiefship for Clan Ewen should be officially re-established. The family convention is to include 'leading members' of families with names related to Ewing, including Ewings, McEwens, Ewans, etc.4 The Clan Ewen Society in Scotland has been trying to get the Lord Lyon to do this for something like twenty years, and finally he has expressed the intention of doing so. Though he has not yet announced a date for this convention, our impression is that it will occur sometime this year. I invited interested members of the Ewing Family Association (EFA) to begin a discussion about whether we should take a position as an organization with respect to this matter, and if so, what it should be. There was a good discussion of this on the EFA Forum at ([email protected]), where a parallel discussion arose regarding the name of the Ewing Family Association. This article addresses only the matter of the Lord Lyon. See my Chancellor's Message on page 45 for some thoughts about the issue of our organization's name. What is a Clan? One thing that became clear to me in the course of the discussion is that people mean a lot of different things when they say the word 'clan', and they don't all mean the same thing even when they say 'Scottish Clan'.

  • A Chief for Clan Ewen? David Neal Ewing, Chancellor (+1 505.764.8704, Davidewing93 at Gmail Dot Com)
    6 Ewing Family Journal Vol. 17, No. 1 (February 2011) A Chief for Clan Ewen? David Neal Ewing, Chancellor (+1 505.764.8704, DavidEwing93 at gmail dot com) There has been no official chief of Clan Ewen1 for many generations. The last formally acknowledged chief of Clan Ewen of Otter, Swene McEwen, died in 1493. Thor Ewing has made a plausible case that the chiefship was reestablished something less than a hundred years later when William Ewing of Ladytoun was granted arms by Mary Queen of Scots, and led his clansmen in her forces at the Battle of Langside in 1568 against the Earl of Lennox, who had been their feudal lord.2 The details of the genealogy of the descendants of William Ewing of Ladytoun are not known, but at least two American Ewing families have traditions that they were descended from Ewings who had coats of arms very similar to those granted to William Ewing of Ladytoun. Many of you will have received a message that Thor Ewing sent January 17th to our Google Group's EFA discussion list3 announcing that the Lord Lyon in Scotland is organizing a Family Convention4 to determine whether the chiefship of Clan Ewen should now be reestablished and perhaps to appoint a chief. Thor has set up a separate Google Group discussion list to facilitate the discussion of this issue.5 Some of you have followed the discussion on the new list, which has become spirited and is beginning to get lengthy. I had thought to publish the whole discussion thread in this issue, but it has become too long for that.
