JOAN EWING, Ft. Dodge, IA; 10/90; has this Robert as child of Robert and Mary
    Makemie.  Dr. T.C. does not give a wife's name but does give a child Maria who
    married Mr. Ewing.  THIS Robert was in Western PA; the other was in Cumberland
    Co. Confusion is because Dr. T.C. gave the wife of the other Robert as Miss
    Gallion ????; Joan's cemetary records give death as 16 MAY 1844 at 72 years 10
