Findley and Jane (Porter) Ewing had Robert Ewing, and Robert married Mary Baker (daughter of Caleb Baker and Martha Brooks). Robert and Mary (Baker) Ewing had a large family, including sons named Baker Ewing and (apparently) John Baker Ewing (who MAY have also married a Martha Baker....but more research is needed on that). In addition, Findley and Jane (Porter) Ewing also had a son named Charles Ewing, and Charles married Martha Baker, yet another daughter of Caleb and Martha (Brooks) Baker. One of their sons was named Caleb Baker. The above family was in Bedford Co., VA, so I suspect that your line comes from one of these "branches" of the Ewing family. "Legend" has it that there were six Ewing brothers in Scotland and then Ireland, and that they fought on the side of William of Orange. The Ewings in Bedford Co., VA, and POSSIBLY the Ewings in Amelia/Prince Edward Co., VA (where Caleb Baker lived), were supposedly from one or more of those brothers.
