[ewing-assn] Searching for Ewing Lineage

[Elizabeth Ewing]

Some of you have been so fortunate to have discovered your ancestors.  I am searching for the ancestors of James Ewing (or McEwing of Ewings).  I believe he was the "natural" son of William McEwing (or Ewings or Ewing).

While I bought the Ewing DNA kit to trace the lineage through a direct male descendent, I have been unable to locate one who would be willing.  Because it has been so many years since I have seen or heard from any of the Ewing relatives (I live on the west coast and have lost all contact with them), I am hoping one or more of these names will ring a bell with you to help me in that search.  To my knowledge, most of them remained in and around New Kensington, Arnold and the greater Pittsburgh area.  A grandson or great-grandson or great-great-grandson of one of the three brothers (John, James or Joseph--Charles had only one daughter--me), or a granddaughter, great-granddaughter or great-great-granddaughter of one of the eight Ewing daughters who I could contact would be greatly appreciated.  Frances (Franny) Elder Fleischman had been living in Beaver Falls, I believe (she would be able to provide some DNA information on Matilda Gilmour Ewing), if she is willing.  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
