Biography

John Ewer was baptized in Strood, Kent, England on 14 January 1627/28. He was the son of Thomas Ewer and Sarah Learned.[1]

He married Mary Wallen, most likely not long before May 1652, when his widow Mary Ewer presented his estate inventory in the probate proceedings after his death. The estate was small, and they had no children, suggesting they had been married only a short time before his death.[2]
