James H. Ewell, "Ewells in America..." p. 62: "Charles Ewell is referred in the referenced book as a bricklayer. He m.ca. 1706/10 Mary Ann Bertrand, the d/o Rev. John Bertrand and Charlotte De Joli. John Bertrand with his brother Paul, had escaped from France after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. John Bertrand had settled in Rappahanock County, VA. John had two other daughters, Marianna and Charlotte as well as a son, William. Paul Bertrand had settled in Calvert County, MD on a farm called by him 'Cox Hayes'. Rev. John Bertrand had married Charlotte De Joli, the daughter of the Comte de Joli who had escaped from France with the Bertrands. Charles Ewell, Sr. in his published will mentioned his two daughters and three sons."

Additional Source: Hayden, "Virginia Genealogies" p.333. Data entered by Paul A. Jensen 7 Dec 2003: "Dr. Jesse Ewell of Dumblane, P.W. Co., Va., aged 87 in 1889, wrote in 1869 that Charles Ewell came to Va. from England, 1690, with two brothers, names unknown, having obtained from the Proprietory Government in London a contract to build the first capitol at Williamsburg, to which place the seat of Colonial government was, about that time, to be removed from Jamestown. Of the two brothers of Charles, one settled south of the James R. in Princess Ann or Norfolk Co., and the other in Accomac or Northumberland Co. Charles located in Lancaster Co. Col. Benjamin S. Ewell, LL. D., thinks this Charles was son of John Ewell."
(How much of this account is accurate has yet to be determined.)

Additional Source: Hayden, "Virginia Genealogies" p.334: "Charles Ewell, supposed son of Charles Ewell, born in England according to tradition, came to Virginia under contract to build teh State Captol at Williamsburg, 1690. As he was certainly aged 25 at that time, he was pro. born 1660-5. He settled in St. Mary's parish, Lancaster county, Va., bought land near Corotoman Creek of Matthew Meres, and 1000 a. more or less of "Tolliver's Mount" from Thomas Chitwood.

James H. Ewell, "Ewell's in America..." p. 62: "Best quesstimate at this time is that Charles came over to Virginia about 1680 and then returned to England, and that his son (also a Charles) then came over to stay in about 1690."

Another source has Edward dying in England.

!Will Probated in 7 Aug 1703, Copy in Ewell's of America Book pg 328
!Children's birth order from notes of Samuel Hayes in Roots and Branches Issue 5, pg 18. Samuel Hayes letter states that he believes that the father of Charles Ewell is James Ewell of Accomack Va. because of the will of James and Land record sells. He feels that the Charles that is in Accomack is the same Charles in Lancaster. See Roots and Branches issue 5 page 14-20. Family group record of James Ewell and Anne's family is in Ewell file of the PAF program.

Doris Stone believes that James Ewell's father is Edward Ewell, and mother is Ann Eden because Edward Ewell in England had a will and named a James as son.
Gayle, a correspondent of Pat's, and others on the internet, believe from Land records that the James Ewell Jr. buying land in 1696 and 1697 in Accomack Virginia is the same one that is the will of 1703.

SP: He was sealed to Edward Ewell and Ann Eden.

Professional genealogist Nora Miller Turman, under the commission of the Ewell Family Genealogical & Historical Society, researched the Accomack Co. Ewells and provided me (Paul Arlin Jensen) the following information on 10 Mar 1989. Genealogist Nora Miller Turman states that James Ewell died in 1704. She adds: "James Ewell continued on the tax list through 1691. The last entry showed 3 tithables, presumably, two sons. James became a sizeable land owner which he left to his wife for life and sons. His will dated 7 Aug 1703 and probated 13 Jul 1704, named son George Ewell as executor."

Nora Turman states: "EWELL, Notes and References: All references are in Accomack County courty records unless otherwise designated. No birth and death records are available in the 1600s and 1700s and marriage records from 1774 are far from complete. Death dates are dates wills were probated. Marriage records are found in wills of relatives or sale of wife's land.

James H. Ewell states in "The Ewells in America and Some Allied Families, 1635-1990" states regarding James and Anne Ewell: "It would appear from reading the Order Books fo early Accomack County that James Ewell and his wife Anne were not the most genteel people. In about 1670 he was fined 16 shillings for the "sins of drunkenness and swearing several oaths". In 1676 for "killing cattle"; in 1681 both he and Anne were brought up for assault and battery but the case was dismissed; in 1682 they were brought in and judgement granted. In 1686, James was accused of concealing a tithable, paid a fine; and several times was brought in for assaulting Jane Willis; James removed 18 apple trees that were being planted on property adjoining his."

James H. Ewell gives the order and dates of James & Anne's children as follows:
1. Mark, a bricklayer like his father, was b. ca. 1660, d. 1727,
2. James, b.ca. 1665, d. unk.
3. Anne, b.ca. 1669, d. unk.
4. Patience, b.ca. 1670, d. unk.
5. Solomon, b.ca. 1669, d. 1734;
6. Comfort, b.ca. 1671, d. 1723;
7. Charles, b.ca. 1673.
8. George, b.ca. 1675, d.ca. 1728
9. Thomas, b. & d. unk.

Some researchers believe that this James Ewell was the brother of Charles Ewell of Lancaster Co., VA during the same period.

Edward married Catherine BOYS on 30 Sep 1640 in Nonington, Kent, England. Catherine (daughter of Sir Edward BOYS and Elizabeth HAMMOND) was born on 5 Dec 1613 in , Bekesbourne, Kent, England; was christened on 5 Dec 1613 in , Bekesbourne, Kent, England; died in in England; was buried on 11 Aug 1671 in Nonington, Kent, England.
