D. Samuel Ewing, Jr. married Mary “Polly” Davis on 25 May 1806. It is recorded on the Washington Co., Va. Register
#1 page 132. He is listed as Samuel Ewing, Jr. By 1815 he had received land of his father (who still had 7,000+ acres) and
by the will he received only $1.00 and “recommend him to the bounty of my other devises.” Samuel may have been a
schoolteacher and it is believed he served a short time in the War of 1812 but is shown as deserting. It is also believed that
he died in 1820 but we have yet to find will or estate papers to prove. His children by Mary Davis Ewing are to be found
in the deeds and estate settlement of Samuel (Sr.) who died in 1817. They were:
1. Sallie Ewing married Thomas Mills of Well Pole, W. VA.
