Their son Levi is found in the 1860 census for Indiana. In Decatur, Adams County:
Levi Ewing 42 carpenter born in Ohio
Caroline Ewing 24 housewife born in Ohio
Sarelle (?) Ewing 8 born in Ohio
William Ewing 1 born in OhioDecatur is where Dillon Ewing Shoemaker was born. Lydia may have been this Levi's second wife.
Or, possibly, this is our Levi:
