| Notes |
- ! Doris Stone believes Edward is the father of James Ewell of Accomack Va.
Additional Source: Jean Marshalek, Walker Family Genealogy ([email protected]).
Another source has Edward dying in England.
!Will Probated in 7 Aug 1703, Copy in Ewell's of America Book pg 328
!Children's birth order from notes of Samuel Hayes in Roots and Branches Issue 5, pg 18. Samuel Hayes letter states that he believes that the father of Charles Ewell is James Ewell of Accomack Va. because of the will of James and Land record sells. He feels that the Charles that is in Accomack is the same Charles in Lancaster. See Roots and Branches issue 5 page 14-20. Family group record of James Ewell and Anne's family is in Ewell file of the PAF program.
Doris Stone believes that James Ewell's father is Edward Ewell, and mother is Ann Eden because Edward Ewell in England had a will and named a James as son.
Gayle, a correspondent of Pat's, and others on the internet, believe from Land records that the James Ewell Jr. buying land in 1696 and 1697 in Accomack Virginia is the same one that is the will of 1703.
SP: He was sealed to Edward Ewell and Ann Eden.
Professional genealogist Nora Miller Turman, under the commission of the Ewell Family Genealogical & Historical Society, researched the Accomack Co. Ewells and provided me (Paul Arlin Jensen) the following information on 10 Mar 1989. Genealogist Nora Miller Turman states that James Ewell died in 1704. She adds: "James Ewell continued on the tax list through 1691. The last entry showed 3 tithables, presumably, two sons. James became a sizeable land owner which he left to his wife for life and sons. His will dated 7 Aug 1703 and probated 13 Jul 1704, named son George Ewell as executor."
Nora Turman states: "EWELL, Notes and References: All references are in Accomack County courty records unless otherwise designated. No birth and death records are available in the 1600s and 1700s and marriage records from 1774 are far from complete. Death dates are dates wills were probated. Marriage records are found in wills of relatives or sale of wife's land.

James H. Ewell states in "The Ewells in America and Some Allied Families, 1635-1990" states regarding James and Anne Ewell: "It would appear from reading the Order Books fo early Accomack County that James Ewell and his wife Anne were not the most genteel people. In about 1670 he was fined 16 shillings for the "sins of drunkenness and swearing several oaths". In 1676 for "killing cattle"; in 1681 both he and Anne were brought up for assault and battery but the case was dismissed; in 1682 they were brought in and judgement granted. In 1686, James was accused of concealing a tithable, paid a fine; and several times was brought in for assaulting Jane Willis; James removed 18 apple trees that were being planted on property adjoining his."
James H. Ewell gives the order and dates of James & Anne's children as follows:
1. Mark, a bricklayer like his father, was b. ca. 1660, d. 1727,
2. James, b.ca. 1665, d. unk.
3. Anne, b.ca. 1669, d. unk.
4. Patience, b.ca. 1670, d. unk.
5. Solomon, b.ca. 1669, d. 1734;
6. Comfort, b.ca. 1671, d. 1723;
7. Charles, b.ca. 1673.
8. George, b.ca. 1675, d.ca. 1728
9. Thomas, b. & d. unk.
Some researchers believe that this James Ewell was the brother of Charles Ewell of Lancaster Co., VA during the same period.
