Subject: [ROOTS-L] Rev Alexander Ewing - ca1725-?

	Family history has been that the progenitor of my Ewing family in 
America came to America  in 1755 with his regiment under the command of 
General Braddock bringing his young family with him (including sons 
Alexander and James). His regiment was horribly beaten at Fort du 
Quesne.  He was an Adjutant officer (minister) and after this horrible 
defeat by the French and Indians, he removed his sword, buried the dead 
and vowed never to put the sword on again.  He received his discharge 
and  remained in the colonies.  He had married a Miss Sullivan while 
his regiment had been stationed in Ireland before coming to the 
Colonies. His eldest son was named Alexander and every generation after 
had an Alexander as well as the name Sullivan being given as a middle 
name to a son in every generation through 1900. I can not find out 
about the life of Alexander after discharge from the British Army nor 
about Miss Sullivan - These are my 5G Grandparents.  Is there help out 
there?
