Historical Sketches of Kentucky by Lewis Collins, Maysville, KY. and J. A. & U. P. James, Cincinnati, 1847. Volume 1. Reprinted 1968. Christian County. The Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Page 435. FINIS EWING, a member of one of the most respectable and prominent families in south-western Kentucky, was a native of Virginia, but in early life settled in Tennessee; thence removed to Kentucky, and lived for many years in Christian county. While living there he performed the chief labors of his ministerial life. He was one of the young men advanced to the ministry in the progress of the revival, and who constituted the independent Cumberland presbytery in 1810. Late in life he removed to Missouri, where he died in 1842. His sons are now prominent men in that State. He has always been regarded, if not the father, one of the fathers of the Cumberland Presbyterian church. Ewing = VA TN MO http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/christian/ewing.f.txt
