General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Ewalt

---

The name Ewalt is of German origin and in Germany persons bearing it have long been prominent as poets, theologians and professional men. The first appearance of the name in America was in 1733, when a Ludwig Ewalt and family arrived in Philadelphia. In September, 1753, a John Ewalt came, and the Provincial records show that on May 2, 1758, there was a John Ewald, a soldier "in Captain John Blackwood's company of the Pennsylvania regiment." He was thirty-six years old; born in Germany; enlisted on May 16, 1758, and was a laborer. Prior to enlisting in Blackwood's company he belonged to Clapham's Provincials. There was also a John Ewalt in Peters township, now Franklin County, as early as 1763, who after a few years' residence there removed to Bedford County, where in the early days he was a man of influence and prominence. He died Nov. 12, 1792, leaving a family of nine children, among them a son named John. According to tradition the Bedford John Ewalt, to escape religious persecution, fled from Germany to Holland and from Holland to America.
