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-
