Presley K. Ewing and Mary Ellen (Williams) Ewing, The Ewing Genealogy with Cognate Branches (Houston, 1919), pp. 45-46; read in the archive.org text (item ewinggenealogywi00ewinrich), personally re-verified 3 Aug 2026 with controls (running heads pp. 45/46; Boyd x12, Ewing x825 in the same file). Verbatim: "SIDNEY ANN EWING, daughter of Robert and Mary (Baker) Ewing, was born in Bedford County, Va.; died prior to the death of her father; married Adam Linn. Issue: (i) Nancy, married Abraham Boyd, 1796. Issue: 1ST. John, born Nashville, Tenn., about 1798; married Betsy McLean ... several times elected to the Congress of the Republic of Texas; he was one of the founders of Trinity University ... 2ND. Linn, born Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 28, 1800, died Paducah, Ky., Dec. 16, 1859 ... Speaker of the House, 1850-4; he was Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky in 1859 ... 4TH. Alfred, married Lucy Harrison, Issue: John, an attorney-at-law, married Sarah Cook; George, a physician, unmarried; Abraham, an attorney-at-law, married Miss O'Bannon; Agnes, married Mr. Grimes, of Paducah, Ky.; Adeline, and Martha, married Mr. Small. 5TH. Rufus, married Eliza Bennett." CORROBORATES the tree's existing chain joint for joint: [1668] Abraham Boyd x [1669] Nancy Linn (m. 1796) -> [1670] John, [1671] Linn (the Speaker), [1632] Alfred x [1633] Lucy Amis Harrison -> [833] Abraham "attorney-at-law" x Miss O'Bannon = [834] Fannie, with siblings Adeline = [1634] Adaline Linn, Agnes [1635] and Martha [1636] (F520/F516/F348 match the printed structure exactly; note [833]'s middle name HARRISON is his mother's maiden name, and [1634]'s middle name LINN her grandmother's). GRADE: compiled secondary — the book's own p. 45 footnote acknowledges reliance on F. M. Cockrell "without opportunity to verify"; treat as corroboration, not proof. CONFLICTS RECORDED, NOT RESOLVED: Ewing prints Linn's birth Nov. 28, 1800 where the tree (cited elsewhere) holds 22 Nov 1800; Ewing's "about 1798" for John vs the tree's 7 Aug 1796 — see the Audited note on [1670].
