Robert Ewing came to the colonies with his brother Charles Ewing, who married Mary's sister Martha Baker. Robert and Mary Ewing and Charles and Martha Ewing later moved to the Peaks of Otter in Bedford County, VA. In Bedford, Robert was an Elder in the Presbyterian Church, the County Clerk, and Justice of the County Court from 1754. At the time of his death, he supposedly owned more than 7,200 acres, including a 514 acre tract on the south end of Ewing's Mountain in present-day Wythe County, Virginia, and "vast tracts" in present-day Kentucky, which was then Augusta Co, Virginia.
