Notities over Ewin Barker Davis

At the time of his birth his mother named him after Ewen Johnson but she didn't know how Ewen Johnson's name was spelled.

Raft Swamp Baptist Church was the first church that Ewin went to. It had a water pump in front. The school he attended was across the street.

When Ewin was 3-4 years old he was walking around the farm and picked up a stick and started hitting bees on their hives. He stirred them up and went running to the house.

'Uncle' Rawl Bullock had a foot-powered workshop and built all kinds of furniture. It was next door to the farm in Raft Swamp.

They had a mule that was killed in his stall in the barn by lightning, though the strike did not set the barn on fire.

Ewin attended 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades at Raft Swamp School. He started 4th grade there and then moved to Hickory Grove in September after all the crops were in. They moved all the household furnishings and crops in 2 horse wagons, one of them borrowed from a neighbor. They loaded up the wagons each evening and then left very early in the morning with each load. It took all day to make a round trip. The family lived at Gordon's for 1 year and while building the house near Luther's. They cut pine logs on the property and hauled them to the sawmill where they were cut into framing lumber.

Ewin finished 4th and 5th grades in Bladenboro and then moved to their new home and went to Tar-Heel. For 6th and 7th grade he went to Smith's school. 8th grade was at Bladenboro, 9th grade was at Tar-Heel. 10th was at St. Paul's, where they had moved because his mother's father was ill, and 11th at Bladenboro. At that time there were only 11 grades.

Around 1978 Ewin retired and moved back to North Carolina. He purchased the old Marshall Singletary farm, where he had once played as a child. The farm was located on the corner of Marsh and Center Roads and next door to his sister, Margaret Hester. He moved his Mother's house trailer from Margaret's property, and parked it in the yard of his new property. He and Marie lived in the trailer while renovating the old farmhouse, however the house was destroyed by fire; believed to have started in the old electrical wiring, and Ewin and Marie then built a new house on the property.
