A Wilson Family Tree
Notes for Jennetta Ewin
From the Park manuscript:
By her [mother's] request, Jeannetta was sent to Virginia to be educated under the care of her aunt Smith. But when Jeannetta arrived, Aunt Smith too was dead, and her son Daniel Smith took charge of her education. He sent her to a celebrated school at Winchester where she remained one or two years, and returning to Augusta, made her home with Uncle William Davis, until she married Edward Hall, son of Maj. Alexander Hall, and nephew of Judge Archibald Stuart, who brought her to Kentucky, and they settled on her mother’s old farm where they raised their family.
Her first name is spelled Jeannette, Jeannetta, Jennetta, and Jenette in various places. Her last name is spelled Ewin or Ewing in various places.
WFT 22 # 1690:
Her mother was very sick so she was taken as a young girl by her cousin, Benjamin Reeves, to her Aunt Margaret. Margaret died before Jeanette could reach her. Jeannette's mother died about the same time. She was taken in by Daniel Smith, her cousin. After marriage she lived in Christian or Todd Co., KY.
