It’s an honor to hold a position that enables me to help, and meet, so many people in my extended family. It wasn’t until the passing of my grandfather, James “Pappy” Ewing, that I became invested in my family history. I’m hoping to write an article about him in a future journal because he has formed my definition on what makes us Ewing’s special. In a few words, we are smart, hardworking, and compassionate people that love to help others. I was born to Bradley Scott Ewing, and Denise Marie Stauffer on November 27th, 1989 in Northeast Ohio. My father is a brilliant Electrical Engineer, and still holds the title for the smartest person that I have ever met. His high school sweetheart, my mom, graduated from the University of Akron with a Bachelor’s degree in Accounting. I also have a sister, Amanda Ewing, who attended The University of Akron for nursing. She currently works as a Nurse Practitioner for the Cleveland Clinic, and is soon to be married. Growing up my sister was my best friend, and we haven’t missed a beat to this day. I am proud to announce that I will be her Man of Honor in her wedding. Our family is unique because my dad, mom, and sister are all my closest friends. My family has been my rock since the day that I was born, and they have really come through when I needed them the most. Working with The Ewing Family Association has given me a sense of purpose in life. I live everyday trying to make my grandfather proud, and I know that he would be ecstatic to find out that I am engaging in activities with fellow Ewings. Our family is special. 2 Ewing Family Journal Vol. 23, No.2 (November 2017) Amy Hunter Ewing (Patterson) – Part 6 Her Famous Friends in Philadelphia from 1779 to 1844 David ‘Bruce’ Frobes ([email protected]) Introduction Part 6 continues the story of famous and interesting people in Amy's life (January 20, 1751 - May 24, 1844). Some of these people had EWING for a last name, some were Amy's immediate family, others married into Amy's family, and some worked for decades for the US Mint in Philadelphia. In addition, Amy knew famous doctors, scientists, congressmen, senators, senior military officers and US Presidents. This chapter of the Ewing family story centers again on Amy's seventh child, Robert Maskell Patterson (RMP), (March 23, 1787- September 5, 1854). Robert M. Patterson is my 3rd great grandfather and a direct maternal ancestor. He was named after his father, Robert, Amy Hunter Ewing (Patterson) and his grandfather (Amy's father), Maskell Ewing (1721-

  • The Allegheny County Bar in the Eighties Frank C
    The Allegheny County Bar in the Eighties Frank C. McGirk That Iwas admitted to the Bar of Allegheny County in 1880, and am still in the practice of my profession, is most likely the reason Iwas chosen to deliver this address. Iknew the great lawyers of that decade, —many of them intimately, —and frequently tried cases with and against them, and while Ithen knew their peculiarities and abilities, and the many stories then current about them, lapse of time and a failing memory willprevent the repetition of a great many matters of much interest, and jovial happen- ings of those old days. From the earliest days of this County, it has been noted for its great lawyers. Such men as Alexander Ad- dison, James Ross, Hugh Henry Brackenridge, John Woods, Thomas Collins, William Wilkins, Henry Baldwin, James Mountain, Samuel Roberts, Walter Forward, John H. Chap- lin,Neville B. Craig, Charles Shaler, Richard Biddle, John Henry Hopkins, and James Hall, of the early Pittsburgh Bar, and concerning whom, the late Judge Daniel Agnew delivered a most interesting address before the Allegheny County Bar Association on December 1, 1888, made our Bar famous throughout the land and shed great glory on the Pittsburgh lawyer. But the lawyers of the Eighties were just as great. The limits of time allowed me for this address willpermit me to refer only to a small number of those who were fam- ous in the Eighties, and no doubt Imay overlook some whom my brethren at the Bar will think well deserve remem- brance. As Judge Agnew said in his address : "The life of an upright, honorable and learned lawyer is full of instruction.

Sherman was being puffed as a presidential candidate–the last thing either man needed was association with the political “hot potato” of the day. Prosecutors such as the posturing and violent Ohioan John Bingham, were prepared to use their roles in the trial as political launching pads. Defense attorneys could look forward to nothing but vilification. Attempting to explain Ewing’s decision to join the defense, a 1980 television docudrama The Ordeal of Dr. Mudd, would depict a sequence in which General Ewing, walking down a Georgetown street, overheard a frantic Frances Mudd pleading with an attorney to defend her husband. The following scene showed Mrs. Mudd praying in a non- denominational church, only to be approached by General Ewing with an offer to help. Queried as to why a Union officer would undertake the case, Ewing Dr. Samuel Mudd merely quoted his grandfather’s admonition to follow (Libraryof Congress) an honorable path in life. The scene is fictional, if not In what would become the final month of totally implausible, given Ewing’s “lofty ideals.” the war, March, 1865, Tom Ewing went to However, if placed in a Catholic church, the scene Washington to submit his military resignation to would have been credible, especially in a symbolic Abraham Lincoln, a personal friend.

  • William Tecumseh Sherman in 1850
    William Tecumseh Sherman in 1850 ENERAL WILLIAM TECUMSEH SHERMAN of Civil War fame was a voluminous letter writer, and as he was much away G from home and traveled far his letters are unusually re- vealing and of great interest. The Historical Society of Pennsylvania has recently acquired one of unusual interest through the generosity of Mrs. Arnold G. Talbot. This letter was written at a significant period in Sherman's career. Born in 1820, he was now, at thirty, just ten years out of West Point. His military career had not developed to his satis- faction. At the outbreak of the Mexican War he had been assigned to recruiting duty and then sent to California to serve as quarter- master at Monterey. He spent the war years there "without smelling gunpowder," and while his West Point friends were winning pro- motion on the field of battle he remained a first lieutenant without any citation. After the war was over he was transferred to San Francisco where he became adjutant to the commander, Major General Persifor F. Smith, to whom this letter was written. Finally, there came welcome news. In the election of 1848 General Zachary Taylor had been elected President. He appointed Thomas Ewing, Sherman's foster father, Secretary of the new Interior Department. Ewing moved to Washington where he settled his family in the Blair house across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House. Sherman was now ordered back to the Capital, and at long last he could marry Ellen Ewing to whom he had long been engaged. He arrived in Washington in the midst of the great struggle over the admission of California as a state.

  • Newton C. Ewing
    / Journal of Clan Ewing 15 NEWTON C. EWING Source: Bill Ewing, Tyler, Texas. Dear Jim, You have mentioned several times that it is of interest to other Ewings, stories about the old days and history as related to our Ewings. I have been reluctant to pass on some personal family data since it relates to the Civil War and may offend some of my "Yankee Cousins" at this late date ... but having said that I will give you some information. [Editor's note: I am of the opinion that history is history and we were are not responsible for what happened a 100 or 200 years before our time. When information about a family is published in the journal, we never know how that information may help someone that is trying to locate their ancestors. Also, the more that I learn about the earlier generations, it makes me appreciate more what our ancestors went through to make this country what it is today and the freedoms that we enjoy.] My [Bill Ewing] great great great granddad was Newton Alfonzo Ewing son of Alexander, son of Nathaniel, son of Joshua (1704-1753). Nathaniel Ewing and wife, Rebecca Osborne, raised family in Statesville, North Carolina area. Alexander died in 1817 and wife, Sophia Crawford, took her family including Newton (19 years) to Henderson County, Tennessee in 1828. The next year after arriving there Newton married Nancy Lorant and they had four kids before moving to Rockport, Arkansas in 1837. He evidently received medical training during that period because he was shown to be an MD in oldest sons will later and referred to as Dr.
