As I begin this posting, I have to be candid and say that working on the last three children of Ezekiel Calhoun and Jean or Jane Ewing has proven very difficult, and I’m by no means sure that I have a reasonably full snapshot of their lives. The information I can find about them is sparse, and much that is stated about them in articles and trees published conventionally and online is totally undocumented and often, in my view, woefully incorrect.
