General Notes: Husband - Henry Ewalt


His uncle, John Sample, in his life acquired title to a considerable portion of the land which originally was included in the Sample homestead. When he died he left this land by will to his nephew, Henry Ewalt, on condition that he pay his four sisters each a certain amount of money. In this way Henry Ewalt became possessed of this land, and it remained in his possession till his death. The land was located on the north side of Conedoguinet creek, in Silver Spring township, Cumberland County. It is one of two farms included in a deep southward bend of that crooked stream and reaches entirely across the base of the peninsula, from the creek on the west to the creek on the east. Here Henry Ewalt did his best work and here he remained longer than anywhere else in the seventy-one years of his life. He moved to this place in 1832 and by years of close application and hard work made of it a productive farm and a pleasant home. He erected buildings on an elevated point where they commanded a delightful view of the most beautiful section of the valley, and where they formed a conspicuous landmark to observers. In the spring of 1863 he quit his farm and retired to a home in Hogestown, where he lived out the balance of his days.
