Every person we know about.

father of James Ewing (1499); Brant Hindman's 14th-great-grandfather. THE OLDEST DOCUMENTED ANCESTOR in Brant Hindman's entire verified tree. Born 17 years before Christopher Columbus's first voyage to the Americas. Lived through the end of the Wars of the Roses (1485) and the early reign of Henry VIII.

wife of Edward Ewing; mother of James Ewing (1499); Brant Hindman's 14th-great-grandmother. The OLDEST documented female ancestor in Brant Hindman's verified tree, alongside her husband.

father of William Ewing (1535); Brant Hindman's 13th-great-grandfather (Ewing Scottish noble line). The OLDEST documented ancestor in Brant Hindman's entire verified tree.

wife of James Ewing; mother of William Ewing (1535); Brant Hindman's 13th-great-grandmother. A titled Scottish noblewoman ('Lady of Cupar' — Cupar is the historic county town of Fife).

father of Catherine C. Alexander (1545); Brant Hindman's 13th-great-grandfather (Alexander Scottish noble line). The Alexanders of Menstrie (Stirlingshire) were a documented Scottish noble family; the formal Earldom of Stirling was created in 1633 for Sir William Alexander, 1st Earl of Stirling (1567-1640), so the 'Earl of Sterling' title attached to this 1520-born William may be an FS anachronism applied retroactively to the family. The family seat of the Alexanders of Menstrie is verified Scottish nobility.

wife of the Earl of Sterling line William Alexander; mother of Catherine C. Alexander; Brant Hindman's 13th-great-grandmother (Livingston Scottish noble line)

son of James Ewing (1499) and Lady of Cupar Katherine Orphwood (1505); father of William Ewing (1560); Brant Hindman's 12th-great-grandfather (Ewing Scottish noble line). Lived through the reign of Mary Queen of Scots (1542-1567) and James VI of Scotland.

son of William Ewing (1535) and Catherine C. Alexander (1545); father of Baron William Calduell Ewing (1580); Brant Hindman's 11th-great-grandfather (Ewing line). Notable: born in Ireland in 1560, decades before the official Plantation of Ulster (1610) — suggests the Ewing family had earlier ties to Ireland through trade, military service, or pre-Plantation settlement.

wife of William Ewing (1560); mother of Baron William Calduell Ewing; Brant Hindman's 11th-great-grandmother (Milford Scottish line). The Milford surname recurs in this Scottish-Irish Ewing line across multiple generations (Baroness Elizabeth Milford b. 1625 is Brant's 8G-grandmother), suggesting either repeat intermarriage with the same Milford family or FS recording errors.

father of Janet Load (1585); Brant Hindman's 11th-great-grandfather (Load Scottish line)
