Excerpt:
"Alexander Ewing died in Ireland and his widow with their four children immigrated to America in 1792. They landed in Wilmington, Delaware, in September, 1792, and the record shows that they spent the next ten years in Pennsylvania. Archibald Ewing, son of Alexander, was in the Mahoning Valley in 1802 or 1803, since which time the family in its many branches has had appreciable part in the development of the valley in its various activities, but especially in Agriculture. … Archibald was probably the first of the family to come in the first years of the nineteenth century "to make an investigation, and selected the location," so that perhaps his mother and brother and sister did not accompany him on his first surveying trip. However, they were soon afterward in the territory, and the mother lived in the valley until her death in 1824, she being then eighty-five years old. The children of Alexander and Ann Ewing were Archibald, John, Catherine and Eleanor. All with the exception of Eleanor came into Ohio. She had married in Pennsylvania, and lived in that state until her death. Catherine married Robert Kirkpatrick, another Mahoning Valley pioneer and ancestor of the many Kirk-Kirkpatrick families of Mahoning County of today. "
"Archibald, elder son of Alexander and Ann Ewing, was born in Ireland in 1767, and died in Ohio on January 2, 1842. Archibald received title to 160 acres of wild land in Austintown Township, Mahoning County, and eventually built a residence near a spring, in the center of his farm, but it is stated that he slept in the open, under a walnut tree, the first night. He was a man of strong religious fervor, was a Protestant, and helped to found the Covenanters' Church in Jackson Township, about a mile distant from his home. He was buried in the cemetery of that church. The church has been razed, but the cemetery is still in use, and maintained properly by the township trustees. Archibald Ewing married, in 1797, Sarah Pauley, who was born in 1775, and died in 1858. Their children were Alexander, who was born in 1798, lived for many years in Canfield Township, where he died in 1871; John, who was born in 1800, died in childhood; Archibald, born in 1806, passed his life on an adjoining farm, dying in 1875; Anna, born in 1808, died unmarried in 1861; Sarah, born in 1811, died in infancy; William, born in 1813, died in 1894, after a life passed mostly in Pennsylvania; and John (1816-1901)."
Correction: One child was over-looked in this sketch: Thomas, 1803-1891.

Excerpt:
"The old (Covenanter) church has had many periods of adversity. Its prosperity was once quite marked. Commencing with but a handful of members, it grew to over seventy, then began to diminish. Archibald Ewing, John Ewing, Robert Kirkpatrick, Andrew Gault, William Knight, William Young, Robinson Young and their families were the principal and earliest members. The first elders were Archibald Ewing, Andrew Gault, and James Truesdale."
