To James Tyrney:

I am guessing that Mary McEwen Morgan was the daughter of Robert McEwen, who was born about 1821 in Mississippi, and that this Robert McEwen was the son of Archibald McEwen, who born about 1790 in North Carolina. Archibald McEwen, who was born 1790 in North Carolina, also had a son named Archibald McEwen, who was born about 1842 in Mississippi. In others words, I am guessing that Mary McEwen Morgan had both a grandfather and an uncle named Archibald McEwen, but that her father was Robert McEwen. My guess is based on information found in census records, and I have pasted them below. You will certainly need more evidence or documentation to confirm your lineage. You must be very careful when linking one generation to the other. Information found on census records must always be corroborated with a variety of other records, and with as many as you can find. Census records are a good place to start.
========================
I am assuming on this census that Archibald McEwen, born 1790 in N.C., has a son named Robert, born about 1821, and a son named Archie, born about 1842. Relationships are not given on the 1860 census.

There is an error in the census index. Arcada Brewer is shown on the original census living in the household of Robert McEwen, but in the index she is shown in a separate household.
