His legal name was: William Jacob Ewing/Ewen however, he used Jacob mainly, but also, W.J. He would have been in either Baltimore County or Harford County, as far as we can tell. And he owned some slaves, so I kind of figure that he was on the Confederate side. I have not been able to find any service records that were definitive enough to say they applied to my Jacob Ewing. Thank You for this very kind service.
