I have run into a conundrum with this part of my family, I think because there are so many people with similar names throughout the British Isles and in Colonial America. The profiles have different managers but link (incorrectly) to those in my line. McCune-523 is not the father of McCune-667 who is my 5th great-grandfather. My William McEwen/McQuown was born in, Ballybay, Monaghan, Ireland (not Scotland) and was the son of James and Isabella Stewart McEwen who came to America in 1737 with their family, including William, and they settled in Peapack, Somerset Co., NJ. This is confirmed by a letter from their Pastor in Tulley Corbet, Monaghan Co., Ireland in 1737.
I have the bible record of his son John's (McCune-667) birth and marriage. It has also been proven by Marjory McEwen Gerold through DNA that John b.1745 was the son of William and Sarah Helm McEwen. William died in captivity in Quebec in 1759 and Sarah died in Somerset County in 1760. I've added a bunch of sources on McCune-667 (it was spelled McQuown) in the bible record. He married Margaret Herron they had a daughter Jane, who married Curtis Sisty who is my 3rd great grandfather, they had a son James Herron Sisty whose photo I posted some time ago. There is still another McEwen-795, to which I have added a load of sources, but I have no clue how to unravel the rest.
I have the information correctly done on my Ancestry tree, with sources (as few as they are). Much of the information came from the Flansburg Graybeal genealogical report. I have my mother's portion, but the McEwen bit is lost to me. A distant McEwen cousin has filled in many of the blanks, as we started working together with several other distant cousins on the Sisty line in 2009. Most of that research can be found here: https://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=lrmcg-sisty.
A good starting point is the source I recreated from a Google book "Genealogical and Personal History of the Allegheny Valley, Pennsylvania: Vol. II" I'm attaching the pdf to McEwen-667, because the attached father is incorrect, and his grandfather and Great grandfather about whom it's written are not yet on the tree.
Bottom line, I need some serious help figuring out what needs to be merged, changed, and fixed!
