Frank Ewart married Elizabeth Ewart, his cousin, they had four daughters, and a son, Robert Kells Ewart."

The name was given to those who worked as swineherds, and it may have been given to those who were thought to look like pigs. It is notable that a pig in the Middle Ages was not necessarily considered unclean, and the nickname, therefore, made no reference to tidiness.
