Person:John Ewing (21)

A 1761 will of John Ewing, gunner at Dumbarton Castle, indicates that he was 45 at time of death. His birth thus is close to the baptism date of John Ewing, brother of Hugh Ewing. The letter by Hugh Ewing's son, James, in 1790 to his sister and brother-in-law in Scotland indicates that his Uncle John was a soldier who returned to Scotland. The gunner at Dumbarton may or may not be him. If it is him, the following excerpt may be of interest:
