Ewing Family Association Twelfth Gathering
Gallipolis, Ohio
September 20-23, 2012
Many Ewings followed the gradual but ineluctable western migration patterns of the nineteenth century. In 1810 descendants of Pocahontas James Ewing left their home on Swago Creek in present-day West Virginia, followed the Kanawha River to the Ohio, poled their rafts across that wide river to Gallipolis, before settling permanently in various parts of Gallia County and adjacent Jackson County. Just across the Ohio River from Gallipolis is Pt Pleasant, West Virginia, site of a battle that took place on October 10, 1774, a conflict some historians consider the first battle of the Revolutionary War. William “Swago Bill” Ewing would have remembered that fight when he crossed the Ohio in 1810 on his way to Raccoon Township, north of Gallipolis. He had participated in the Battle of Pt. Pleasant 36 years earlier, when he was 18. Swago Bill spent the rest of his life in and around the small town of Ewington, where he died and was buried in 1822.
In September 2012 Ewings will gather in Gallipolis, Ohio to acknowledge the family’s continued western migration. In the proposed program are genealogical and historical presentations, caravans to various local historical sites, such as the Battle of Pt. Pleasant, and opportunities for self-guided tours to Ewington, Vinton, local cemeteries, and other venues important to the family’s history. As in the past, the research room will be open at specified times, and there will be ample time for reminiscing and connecting.
For more information and a registration form, please email Wally Ewing, Chair of the Ewing Family Association, at wkewing@charter.net.
