General Notes:
There is universal agreement that William Ewing, of the old Loch Lomond or Glasgow Clan was born within the old clan territory in Scotland within the environs of Stirling Castle. In or about 1685, he emigrated to Ulster, Ireland, near Coleraine where many of his clan kindred had lived for many years. His children were born in Ireland and it is known that he had several wives. The children of William Ewing emigrated to America about 1725 from Coleraine, Ireland and some of them settled in Cecil County, Maryland, some in Pennsylvania, and several in Virginia.
To this branch of the Ewing family, through one of William's sons, belong Adlai Ewing Stevenson, a distinguished lawyer and legislator, Vice-president of the United States in 1893-97; James S. Ewing, United States minister to Belgium during the same period; and many other notable men and women.
