Family Story notes for Capt. William Allen David EWING
“Your Grandfather Ewing was simple in his life. He was thrifty and pretty well off for a pioneer. He gave the site for a church, and we buried him there with that in mind, but the settlement built up in the other direction, and the neighbors wanted the church nearer the center of the neighborhood. So after your grandpa’s death, I gave the land on the hillside north of our farm.”140
“Captain W. A. N. Ewing was among those who were looking for a new home for himself and his family. He had two married daughters living in Alabama. He had won the title “Captain” for service in the Alabama Militia. The family numbered nine children; names, James, deceased; Sarah J. who had married John Wade Luker; William who served through the Civil War but died soon after his return from the Confederate army; Martha, Mary, Annie, Alexander N., Joseph and Jules.”
Captain Ewing prepared his business affairs to go in search for new homes for his family, his married daughters, and his neighbors, the Luker brothers. So Captain Ewing, his wife and three small children set out from Alabama to find new homes in Texas. They traveled to New Orleans by train. There he fitted out a wagon with needed household supplies and brought his family overland to Waco, thence to Comanche CO, Texas. He left three of his older children in Alabama with relatives. He had two married daughters there. He left much of his household goods and farming tools. His plan was for these children to come with the married daughters as soon as a place for them could be readied.”
1874 - 1875
Captain Ewing arrived in Texas in 1874, located excellent land suitable for farming. It was cheap in price. He purchased several hundred acres and found sufficient land nearby for the Luker brothers to purchase. He built his home and made ready homes for his two married daughters when they arrived from Alabama. He corresponded frequently with the relatives in Alabama, giving them specific instructions as to route, preparations for travel, and other helpful information. The group in Alabama set the time of their departure for the winter of 1875, after the harvesting of their crops. They began their preparations months before the time of leaving. After gathering of their crops, they would have some cash with which to underake the long, arduous journey.141
So in early December, 1875, the group assembled at Meridian, MS, to outfit their wagons for the trek. There were eight wagons in the caravan. Three of the wagons were pulled by oxen, three by horses, and two by mules. All of them set forth to make their homes in Texas. There was to be no turning back. They bade farewell to Alabama and their loved ones left behind. Traveling by oxen -drawn wagons meant a long, slow, tedious journey of 1000 miles. They would be on the road for many weeks in the dead of winter with the oxen setting the pace for their travel.
While the group was loading their wagons with necessities at Meridian, they chose John Wade Luker as the Captain of the group. They purchased tools for farming, extra oxen in case of lameness or the death of an animal, food for the teams and families - took on as much load as they could.
Captain Ewing had left three unmarried children in Alabama, and two married daughters. The children together with their household goods and farming tools required two wagons. One of his wagons was pulled by horses and driven by Tom Evans, the son-in-law of Captain Ewing. Mr. Lige Hurse drove the wagon pulled by oxen. Captain Ewing had written to them careful directions about fitting out their wagons, what they would need en route and upon their arrival in Texas. Also he gave them the general direction of the route they should travel. These instructions were indeed helpful to them. They brought no seed for planting crops. They did bring extra oxen but no milk cows. They staked the oxen, horses, and mules out at night and were thus able to reduce the feed to take for them. We are indebted to Uncle Frank Luker for the details of the journey. He was old enough to remember the happenings of the trip. Mama is the only person living who came with the group in the winter of 1875-1876.
They were befriended many times. No one seemed a stranger. Everywhere on the journey they were welcomed with open arms. In Louisiana a hurricane had blown trees across the road. The wagons waited for the road crew to saw the logs and remove them so that they could travel. The group crossed the Mississippi River on a ferry which carried two wagons at each trip. It took an entire day for the eight wagons to be ferried across. When they reached Cherokee CO in East Texas, they rested their teams for a few days at the home of James B. Luker, the youngest Luker brother.
1876
En route, the caravan crossed a number of streams, some of them by ferry, including the Trinity. They forded the Brazos about three miles north of Waco. They never traveled on Sunday. Rather they let their teams rest. ...The last night of the journey was spent near Hazel Dell in Comanche CO. The group camped on Joplin Creek. A severe Texas “blue norther” came in, blowing down their tents and freezing everything. They arrived in Comanche CO at the home of Captain Ewing in late February 1876. It was a never to be forgotten journey.
These wagons had traveled the main roads of that day. Of course there were no road markers of any kind. There were no deaths nor severe illness among the group on this long, winter journey. They made considerable preparations before they began the trek for it was a tremendous undertaking for the winter months. They equipped themselves with axes, saws, grubbing hoes, plow tools, so that they could begin their farming operations as soon as they arrived.
Captain Ewing had prepared homes for his two sons-in-law. Grandpa and Grandma Luker moved in with his brother Benjamin Franklin (Uncle Frank). He was unmarried and living on a rented farm along Sowell’s Creek near Proctor. Tom Evans and his wife, daughter of Captain Ewing, had no children. He was much afraid of Indians.He and his wife stayed in Texas only one year. They returned to Alabama to make their home.141

Family Story notes for Capt. William Allen David EWING
“The forbidding name of the warrior tribe did not phase the Captain, for he had won his title in the Choctaw Wars in Alabama. He bought several half sections in Texas. He located them on streams of living water with post oak trees in profusion. Like other pioneers from the old south he looked for black land, wood, and water.”142
Bio notes for Capt. William Allen David EWING
William Allen David Ewing and Mary Jane “Sarah” Lucy Ewing
William Allen David Ewing was a pioneer in the truest sense—leading the way for several families to move from Alabama to Texas just as his own ancestors had moved from Ireland to America in the mid eighteenth century. Born in Georgia in 1811, where his family had moved from Tennessee, William Allen David Ewing, Jr., was the youngest child of William Allen David Ewing, Sr. and Charity Dysert Woods Ewing.
On April 3, 1838, William married Mary J. Lucy in Marengo CO, AL. Little is known of Sarah Lucy Ewing other than that her family farmed in the Tom Bigbee Valley in Alabama. Known children of Wm. Allen David Ewing and Mary J. “Sarah” were: Samuel T. Ewing, 1842; Wm. Allen D., III, 1844; Sarah J., 1845; Martha A., 1846, Mary Catherine “Molly” Charity, 1848; James L., 1850; Joseph; Alexander N., 1852; Safronia, 1854; Julius Eugene, 1866.
For several years Captain Ewing moved his family around from Alabama to Tennessee and Mississippi .(These moves are documented at present primarily by the birth places of his children as shown on subsequent censuses.) He fought in the Choctaw Wars with the Alabama Militia where he earned the title of Captain. After the Civil War, William A. began looking for a new home for himself and his family. “Captain Ewing prepared his business affairs to search for new homes for his family and his married daughters still living in Alabama.1
So Captain Ewing, his wife and three children set out from Alabama to find new homes in Texas. They traveled to New Orleans by train. There he fitted out a wagon with needed household supplies preparing for the overland journey to Waco, then to Comanche CO, Texas. He left three of his younger children in Alabama. Alexander Ewing, age 23, was appointed guardian of James L., Joseph and Jules. Two married daughters remained in Alabama.2 He left many of his household goods and farming tools. Capt. Ewing’s plan was for his four sons to come with the married daughters as soon as a place for them could be readied.” Arriving in Texas in 1874, he located excellent land in Comanche County suitable for farming at a good price. He bought several half sections “locating them on streams of living water with post oak trees in profusion. Like other pioneers from the old south he looked for black land, wood, and water.”3
He purchased several hundred acres and built a house. Communicating with his older children and the Luker family in Alabama, he gave detailed instructions for their impending caravan from Alabama.
Moving to Texas with their father were: Mary Charity “Molly” Ewing who married Benjamin Franklin Luker and Saphronia Ewing. Sarah Ewing remained in Alabama to follow with her husband John W. Luker in 1875. Alexander and Jules followed their father to Texas at a later date.
“Your Grandfather Ewing was simple in his life. He was thrifty and pretty well off for a pioneer. He gave the site for a church, and we buried him there with that in mind, but the settlement built up in the other direction, and the neighbors wanted the church nearer the center of the neighborhood.* So after your grandpa’s death, I gave the land on the hillside north of our farm.” 3
“ Aunt Mollie had many times told Lula the story of Grandsire Ewing’s death from exposure when he made a long trip in the winter to pay a debt. He had gone in a wagon to Waco with his son Alec to pay a lumber bill. Contracting pneumonia on the way back. Grandsire died, and Uncle Alec drove home with the body. Grandsire was the first to be buried in the Ewing graveyard.”4
William Ewing died intestate in Texas
*Note: William A. D. Ewing and Sarah Ewing are buried in the Luker Cemetery between Gustine and Proctor. It is my hypothesis that this reference was to the Baggett Creek Missionary Baptist Church built further to the east.

I am a descant of Cad Lucy through my Great Grandmother, Mary Lucy, daughter of Lycurgus Lucy Sr and Ida Macon (Swan Maiden named possibly).
I would like to know more about Cadwallader Lucy as well as Isahm and Gideon. I may have information as well.Would love to share what I have and also photos. (I do love my old photos).
I learned also that the family goes all the way back to England to Charlecote Park, was in the Lucy Family for 800 years. My Grandmother once had a locket of Mary Elizabeth Williams Lucy.
I would love to connect to anyone who has family ties or information. Thank you.
