his wife, Rebeckah, and those of his children already born. The Alexander Ewing family was accompanied on this same ship by his cousin Nathaniel, son of Robert Ewing's brother William. Nathaniel's half- brothers and their families were also aboard. Nathaniel brought his wife Rachel and their eight children (one of whom, Ann, was born on shipboard) on this arduous journey. Settling first in Cecil County, MD, these two families remained closely tied. Alexander became a plantation holder in Cecil County and never left, dying there May 7, 1738. His widow is said by some to have moved to Montgomery County, VA, and later died there, although there is no documentation of this other than anecdotal and Rebeckah was still in Cecil County in 1750. Alexander's children, certainly his sons, moved on with a group of Ewing cousins to settle in Prince Edward County, VA. Later, they went into Wythe County to the Cripple Creek area, and John as well as Samuel and William, finally settled in Montgomery County. Alexander's success in MD established a tradition of further good fortune as each of his children continued to acquire lands and establish plantations. Alexander's Will illustrated his ability to provide for his family a future in their new homeland, although it does not specify the extent of his holdings.
