Col. Thomas J. Ewing is a native of Catlettsburg, Ky., and was born March
10,1843.  He is a son of Joseph and Sarah (Chadwick) Ewing, the former a
native of New Jersey; the latter was born in Boyd County, Ky.  Joseph Ewing
was a prosperous merchant and farmer, and died in June, 1854, at the age of
sixty-seven years.  The father of Mrs. Sarah Ewing was John Chadwick, who
was born in Ireland, but came to the United States when young, and first
settled in North Carolina in 1768; he came to Kentucky, after serving on the
staff of General Greene during the Revolutionary war, and died in 1850, age
about 100 years.  Thomas J. Ewing, although reared in Catlettsburg, Ky., was
educated at Marshall College, Va., which institution he parted from to enter
the volunteer service in the late civil war.  In July, 1861, he recruited
the first hundred three-year men raised in northeastern Kentucky, and took
this company to Virginia; joined the Fifth Virginia Infantry and was elected
Captain; subsequently he joined the Twenty-second Kentucky Infantry with a
regiment of 100 day men.  He served under Fremont, Pope, Sigel and
McClellan, and was mustered out in July, 1864, as Colonel of the
Twenty-second Kentucky.  On his return to Catlettsburg he read law under
D.S. Hounshell, was admitted to practice, and has since been quite
successful.  He is a Republican in politics, and was Postmaster at
Catlettsburg during the administration of Andrew Johnson; he is also
Commander of Ralph Armstead Post, G.A.R.  In 1863 he married Miss Sarah
