Note: Email from Mona Herrin I did change the date that I had James Hill McEwen dying-I am of the
opinion that he prob. did die in 1844 in Randolph Co., GA. I wrote
this in my notes:
:The death date and interment that Jim Holman has in his book is
different that what I have. His date is 26 May 1844 in Randolph
Co., Ga. and his interment is in Randolph Co., Ga.
________
R.T. McCuing appears to be the son of Martha and James Hill McEwen.
R.T. McEwen married Artemissa Rutherford. The birthdate for Robert T.
is only a few years off what we have had. Martha was listed as 58 years
old here which places her birthdate as 1792 which is what we had. This is
proof that she was still alive in 1850. James M. is Martha and James
youngest child. He was 21 here which is only a year off what we had. It
is possible Martha died in Randolph.

From "An American Saga, The Story of the Snead Family of Accomac
County, Virginia, and of Kentucky" edited by William E. Stokes, Jr., from
materials collected by William Scott Snead. "Like every family of ancient
lineage, the name of Snead has many variants. Thus Snead, Sneyde or Sneed
are all correct spellings, though the pronunciation is the same and all stem
from a common ancestor. The name probably came from the Anglo-Saxon
work Snad or Snead which originally referred to a specific section of land
with defined limits but no one enclosed by a fence or wall. In Staffordshire
county, the hamlet of Sneyde had been built on family lands as early as
Henry II's reign (1216-1272).
Surnames were practically unheard of in England in the Tenth Century,
half the people not having them until the 1300s. Snead became generally
accepted at the beginning of the Twelfth Century at the latest." Their coat
of arms is as described in the previous answer to your message. It has a
motto, Nec Opprimere--Nec opprimi (I will not oppress, nor will I endure
oppression).
