Biography

McEwen Farmer is a part of US Black heritage.

This profile is part of the Farmer Name Study.

McEwen Farmer was born 30 May 1894 in Oxford, Lafayette, Mississippi, United States, son of Bradford Farmer (abt.1861-) and Alexzena (Sanders) Farmer (abt.1867-1918).^[1]

McEwan married Hattie (Johnson) Cohen on 10 Sep 1916 in Lafayette County, Mississippi.^[2]

He later married Flossie (Avant) Pegues (abt.1902-) sometime between 1927 and 1930.

Research Notes

• McEwan's estimated marriage year to Hattie Johnson comes from a combination of their daughter Odessa's birth year and the fact that he's recorded as married in his WWI draft registration.^[3]
• McEwan's estimated marriage year to Flossie (Avant) Pegues is from the fact that Flossie's first husband died in 1927 and Flossie is in McEwan's household and recorded as his wife in the 1930 US Census.
