Hi Has anyone ever considered a connection of the surname; Ewing to Elisha M. Smothers (1800-1881)? It's obviously a surname that was carried within his descendants.....and was curious as to if anyone had found any Ewings in early day Virginia, North Carolina or Georgia? I did locate one interesting tidbit on a Ewing that looks as though he was a Revolutionary War veteran with Virginia roots: <<PATRICK McEWING PRINCE WILLIAM'S COUNTY PRIVATE VIRGINIA LINE $96.00 ANNUAL ALLOWANCE $343.43 AMOUNT RECEIVED MARCH 10, 1819 PENSION STARTED AGE 85 SUSPENDED MAY 1, 1820 RESTORED JUNE 10, 1831>> Interesting......any thoughts? Bernie
