Page 165 - Henry Ewalt
Page 166 - His first wife Mary Sample, daughter of a John Sample who died near where now is Hogestown, in October, 1794. The Samples were among the first settlers of that section and it does not appear that the family of John Sample ever lived anywhere else. Consequently, it is a natural inference that Henry Ewalt's father John Ewalt in his younger days either resided in that vicinity, or that he, through some special circumstances, was thrown into association with the Sample family.
Page 167 - Mary Ewalt (nee Sample) had an unmarried brother named John, who in his life acquired title to a considerable portion of the land which originally was included in the Sample homestead. John died in February 1824, leaving this land by will to his nephew, Henry Hewalt, on condition that he pay his four sisters each a certain amount of money. In this way Henry Ewalt (nephew of Sample) became possessed of this land, and it remained in his possession till his death.
