James Ewing and his sister Eleanor came to what was Bedford County, Tennessee from Virginia in the early 1800s. They settled on a tract of land of about one thousand acres and constructed a log house where they lived at the time of the arrival of their nephew James V. Ewing in the mid 1820s. The farm was productive enough to warrant the introduction of slaves by 1822. James Ewing died in 1826 and their nephew helped Eleanor run the farm until her death in 1831.
James V. Ewing was born on February 14, 1805, in Wythe County, Virginia. He was in his late teens when he arrived in Tennessee. He married in 1830 and built the original two-story section of the present house. He was involved in Marshall County government, serving as trustee from 1838 to 1846 and as chairman of the County Court in 1847, 1849 54, and 1856. He was a prominent local farmer and traded land, including town lots, when the city of Lewisburg was being formed. The main house was altered to its present configuration probably in the 1870s.
