Henry D. Ewalt (son of Henry) and his wife
Ketturah Stamps (daughter of William Stamps
and Jane Shore) moved with their 13 children,
to Monticello, Lewis Co., MO about 1840, where
he died soon after. They were prosperous
there, and had 6 sons who were soldiers in the
Confederate Army during the Civil War.
Two died in battles.
Their 10th son, Noah Spears Ewalt, was my
great-grandfather. He came to a community called
Sowers in Dallas Co., Texas, where he met and
married Mary Jane Johnson (daughter of William
Johnson and Nancy, and the granddaughter of
Harris Johnson). Noah died before their last son
was born in 1878. Mary Jane died in 1889.
My grandmother, Lucinda Catherine (Kate) Ewalt
and her twin sister, Jane Stamps Ewalt, were
born on Feb. 17, 1877, were 18 months old when
Noah died. Their oldest brother, Noah S. Ewalt, Jr.,
a teenager at the time of his father's death,
never married, but raised all his younger brothers
and sisters. He managed the homesteard of almost
1000 acres, which is now in Irving, near DFW Airport.
