    [Manasseh Coyle] married Isabella Ewing at Mount Pleasant, Westmoreland County, Pa., on September 29, 1785. After they were married, Isabella was once talking with her husband about her brother, Adam Ewing, and wondering what had become of him, and he had been absent for some years, Manasseh explained that a man of that name had escaped from the Indians with him, and while they were going down the river in a canoe an Indian from ambush shot Ewing and he fell overboard and was drowned. (See record of Adam Ewing.)

    Manasseh and Isabella Coyle removed to Mercer County, Pa., prior to 1810, as his name was taken in the census of that year in that county. He died in 1834 and was buried in the Mercer Cemetery. She survived him for a number of years, and from March 4, 1836, she drew his pension. Isabella Ewing was a member of the Presbyterian Curch of Unity, near Greenfield, Mercer County, Pa., and was buried in the church yard there.
