I am interested in connecting one Artie Esperia EWING b 03 Feb 1875 d/o EWING & Ellen to the EWING line of Scotland County. Artie md 22 Sep 1897 one Bruce Burns COPELAND b 11 Mar 1873 MO. Artie and Bruce died 26 Mar 1960 and 26 Feb 1932, respectively, and are buried side by side in Webster Cemetery, Fabius Twp, Sec 35 T66 R14, Schuyler Co., MO. The COPELAND name is a collateral line to my WEBSTER genealogy. My cousin-in-law Vernon Bounds EWING lives in Memphis. I have not gotten to talk with him about this, Artie's maiden name EWING has only just been learned. Does anyone follow this line? Thanks for reading!

I can't help you, but I am also looking for a connection to the Ewings. Ella, the giantess, in particular. If you find a comprehensive family history, I would love to see it.

According to family tradition, there is some relationship to Ellla Ewing, the giantess from Clark County who grew to more than 8 feet tall. I have an Elizabeth who married David Lawson. If Elizabeth Lawson's maiden name was Herring, she would have been a sister to Ben Ewing's wife, Anna Eliza Herring. Ben and Anna were Ella's parents. David and Elizabeth were neighbors to the Ewings in 1880, and both Anna and Elizabeth were born in Kentucky. In the 1880 census, the birth place of Elizabeth's mother is listed as Kentucky, though, while Anna's and her sister Susan's mother's birth place is listed as Virginia, so I might be barking up the wrong family tree!! Any help appreciated. Connie Street
