Thanks Colleen Fox Flood -----Original Message----- From: roots-in@roots-l.rootsweb.com [mailto:roots-in@roots-l.rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Elizabeth Ewing Fox Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 12:55 PM To: ROOTS-M@rootsweb.com 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?
