Bio

EWING, HENRY LEWIS (1835-1924) Henry Lewis Ewing was born in present day Nacogdoches County, Texas on November 12, 1835. On June 15, 1861, Ewing enlisted in the Confederate Army. He was mustered into Company K of the 1st, or McCulloch's, Texas Cavalry, which was also called the 1st Mounted Rifleman. The majority of the soldiers enlisted for only one year and the regiment was disbanded at Fort Mason in April, 1862, upon the expiration of their service. Those, whose service did not expire, were organized into the 8th, or Taylor's, Texas Cavalry Battalion. Ewing, who served in Company D of this regiment, only fought with the 8th Texas Battalion for about a year before it was merged with the 3rd , or Yager's, Cavalry Battalion, in May, 1863, to form the 1st Texas Cavalry Regiment, which was also known as the 1st Texas Mounted Rifles. Ewing served in Company I under the command of Lieutenant Colonel William O. Yager and Colonel Augustus Buchel. Ewing served throughout the remainder of the war with this regiment and participated in the Battle of San Lucas Springs, Texas, along with several other skirmishes, including Caney Bayou, the Red River Campaign and Pleasant Hill. After the war, Ewing married Marzee Bradley, of Greenville, Texas, in 1866. On September 9, 1923, Ewing, now a widower, moved to Austin to live in the Confederate Men's Home, where he died on December 29, 1924.
