"My father, William McEwen, was born in Berwick, Pennsylvania.  He went to Northampton county, Pennsylvania, to learn the trade of a blacksmith, and was married there to Sarah Johnson.  We came here in the fall of 1823 and brought with us one half ton of hay, which we made at New Haven.  With this hay we kept four horses and two cows all winter.  There was plenty of picking in the woods all winter in 1823.  Father entered the southwest quarter of section twenty-seven, in Clinton, and put up a cabin there and a blacksmith shop.  My parents had twenty-one children altogether, of whom sixteen were then living.  I am the youngest of the family." (History of Seneca Co.: 1880)
William and Sarah had 21 children, 16 of whom grew up to have families. Their children were: John, Samuel, Robert, Henry, William II, Sarah, Elizabeth, Almira, George, James, Mary (Polly), Margaret, Permelia, Rachel, Anna, and Martha.
