The entry at Find A Grave seems to be a memorial and not an actual grave. The grave for the husband doesn't show his own stone -- only that he is written on a descendants tombstone. And even at that point the wife isn't named. As such the birth and death dates are suspect at least. Only the marriage date might be valid. And while that marriage date precludes it from being this person it doesn't solve the other issue -- that being that very few people at that time actually had two names. If you look closely my MIL records actually gives two Ewing girls -- Margaret and Elinor, and not one named Margaret Elinor. Which is correct -- I do not know.
A lot more work needs to be down to clarify all of the profiles involved in the Ewing and Caldwell families before any merges can be done.
