Biography

[edit]

Ewer, a London grocer, came from a Hertfordshire family who settled at Watford since the time of Henry VIII.[1] In March 1741 he was chosen to represent the Broad St. ward on the Court of Aldermen, standing as a radical and anti-Walpole candidate.[2] He was returned to Parliament for Shaftesbury on the interest of his nephew, Anthony Ashley Cooper, 4th Earl of Shaftesbury.[1]
