General Notes: Husband - John McEwen


He was born in Scotland, was sent to Ireland on missionary business, and was attacked by twelve persons, who cut his wife's breasts off, which inhuman act so enraged the reverend gentleman that he sailed into them and succeeded in killing ten of the twelve, and escaped with his wife to Maryland, and soon after to Adams County, Pennsylvania, where his wife recovered and bore him ten children.
