HON. GEORGE W. EWING, Logan County, was born November 29, 1808, within
one quarter of a mile of where he now resides on Red River, to two miles
north of Adairville. He is the youngest of five boys and five girls born to
Robert and Jane (McClean) Ewing, natives of Virginia. The father, Robert
Ewing, immigrated to the West, where lands were very cheap, and between 1785
and 1790, located on Red River, where he entered a large tract of land, and
afterward laid out the town of Adairville, which is located in the most
fertile part of Logan County; he was born in 1763; his wife, Jane, in 1773.
They had two sons in the war of 1812. George W. was reared on a farm; was
educated at Russellville and Princeton Colleges, and at the age of
twenty-one commenced the study of law with his brother Judge Ephraim M.
Ewing; attended law lectures at Russellville; then located and practiced law
at Russellville until the breaking out of the war. He represented Logan
County in the legislature for seven terms, and was a member when the great
conflict came between the North and South. On his journey home, on leave of
absence, he was arrested at Harrodsburgh, and detained until a committee
from both branches of the legislature could e appointed to investigate the
charges against him, and the object of his arrest; the only charge was that
he was strongly in sympathy with the Southern cause. He was elected to the
Confederate congress from his district, and served until the surrender in
1865. After the surrender of Richmond he made his escape to a farm house in
western North Carolina. There he lay sick for some time, and remained at the
place until a pardon was procured, for which his son paid $600, and for
which he (subject) afterward paid an additional $400, the total amount of
which his son agreed to pay for his pardon. After his return to Logan
County, he moved to his farm of 400 acres near Adairville on the Red River
banks. The Ewing family have always been among the wealthy and distinguished
families of Logan County. Mr. Ewing was first married to Susan Moss, of
Russellville, who died five years later. He then married Nancy L. Williams
of Montgomery County Ky., a daughter of Gen. Samuel Williams, who married
Fannie Kluke, both natives of Virginia. Mr. Ewing had born to him by this
union one child John. Anna Ewing, deceased wife of Lou T. Brawner. Mr. Ewing
cast his first presidential vote for Henry Clay, in 1832; since 1860, has
voted the Democratic ticket.
