For the archives or researchers of this Ewing line: G. W. EWING Real Estate Broker Newport, Pa. Phone 567-6323 October 13, 1962 Mrs. Robert H. Hurlbutt 2319 LeClaire Street Davenport, Iowa Dear Mrs. Hurlbutt: I received your letter concerning relationship or possible connections. I don't think that we are of any relationship due to the fact that my father often said that his grandfather and one brother came into this country from Germany. I don't know what my great-grandfather's first name was; however, my grandfather's name was Samuel, and they settled in Juniata County near Port Royal. According to your letter, some of your relatives resided in Illinois. We lived in Illinois ourselves back in the early 1920's, but I am sure that they were of no relation, otherwise, I would have heard my father mention their names. There is a Howard Ewing living at 175 N. Main Street, Marysville. I understand he is an engineer on the Pannsylvania Rail Road. He is of no relationship of mine. In the Carlisle Court House the old 1800 Perry County Records are held, and not in New Bloomfield. Also residing in Carlisle there are several Ewings. The one you should contact would be William M. Ewing, Funeral Director, 630 S. Hanover Street, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. There are also an Esther M. at 712 N. Hanover Street, and a Pauline E. of 65 W. Louther Street. I am sure that these Ewings are all related, and it is very possible that you will be able to find something about your background or forefathers from either the Marysville Ewing or the Ewings from Carlisle. However, whenever, and wherever, you find a Ewing, you will find he evades hard work. Yours truly, /s/ G. W. Ewing Real Estate Broker GWE/ieh
