b. Pennsylvania
I wrote for years to an elderly lady who said she believed the
surname Ewart might somehow come into our pedigree. Her middle name was
Ewart as was her father's middle name and she said a cousin also had the
middle name of Ewart.
I wonder if my James E. could be James Ewart. No way of knowing.
I have searched many years and have been unable to find anything
further on them.
I have found that James was born in VA and Catherine in PA. At
the time of James birth the southeast corner of Washington Co. Pa was
still part of Virginia, so it is possible that they were both in the same
area with Catherine born after Washington Co. became part of PA.
James and Catherine have the following Children
Henry b. 10 Nov 1807
Alexander b. 12 Nov 1809 md. Sarah Smith
Hannah b. 13 Oct 1811
Mary b. 12 Feb 1813
George b. 17 Mar 1815
Nancy b. 2 Jul 1817
Naomia b. 2 Jan 1820
Elizabeth b. 2 Apr 1824
James E. b. 19 Nov 1826 md. Elizabeth Jane Downey 23 Apr 1859 d. 2 Sep
1906
Margaret b. 14 May 1829
Catherine b. 11 ct 1831
Leah b.3 Mar 1840
Does anyone know anything about my family. I have little else on
James and Catherine but will share all I have.
