The land has been owned by descendants of Henry Ewalt continuously since 1788. (D.A.R. Library, Washington, DC) 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. ********************************************************* EWALT Family History The first Ewalt came to America in 1733.
