Biography
Ewan was born in 1799 or 1800. He passed away in 1873.
His name is spelled Ewen on the 1841, 1861 and 1871 censuses, as Ewing on the 1851 census, but as Ewan on his death certificate.
Note: there are two sons named John who were living at the same time - the older appears on the 1841 census and the younger appears on the 1851 and 1861 censuses.

While I agree with all of the other information on Kennedy-10157, the year of birth is likely to have been 1799 or 1800 and the place was Russel, in Applecross parish. (By the way, Ewan was my wife's great-great-grandfather. I have information about Ewan's children, with sources, that I can add to Wikitree in due course.)
I'm also pretty certain that this Ewan Kennedy is the same as Kennedy-13467. Merging these two would result in Mary (McKenzie) Kennedy being shown as a full sibling of the children listed above, which would tie in with the 1841 and 1851 census records.
