General Notes: Husband - Henry Ewing

---

The eldest child born to his parents, he was brought, when a child, from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, to Allegheny County, in 1786, and four years later they moved to Beaver County. The journey was made on horseback, and when crossing the Susquehanna river, the boy slipped from his mother's lap into the water, and but for the timely assistance of the father, who rescued him, would have been drowned. Arriving at maturity, Henry, with his brother, James, purchased a tract of land known as "Panther Grove," part of the Martin survey, and containing 337 acres.

He and his wife had three children; James P. was the youngest.
