He served as a Colonel of the "Spy Battalion" during the Black Hawk War. In 1830, he was elected to serve in the state House of Representatives as Speaker. He had previously been the clerk of the House. From 1832 to 1834, he was a State Senator, serving as President pro tempore of the State Senate in 1832. In 1833, he was also named acting Lieutenant Governor of Illinois and served as Governor of Illinois for fourteen days in 1834. As of 2009, this was the shortest gubernatorial term in Illinois history. Upon the death of Elias Kane in 1835, Ewing was appointed by Joseph Duncan to serve out the rest of Kane's term in the U.S. Senate. His re-election campaign was unsuccessful and he returned to the Illinois State House, becoming Speaker of the House again. He died in Springfield, Illinois, and although some claim he is buried in Oak Ridge Cemetery, the cemetery itself has no record of this.
- William Lee Davidson Ewing, född 31 augusti 1795 i Paris, Kentucky, död 25 mars 1846 i Springfield, Illinois, var en amerikansk demokratisk politiker. Han var den 5:e guvernören i Illinois från 17 november till 3 december 1834 och ledamot av USA:s senat 1835-1837. Ewing studerade juridik och inledde sin karriär som advokat i Shawneetown. Han tjänstgjorde som överste i Black Hawk-kriget. Han var 1830 ledamot av Illinois House of Representatives, underhuset i delstatens lagstiftande församling. Han var ledamot av delstatens senat 1832-1834. Guvernör John Reynolds avgick 1834 för att tillträda som ledamot av USA:s representanthus. Viceguvernören i Illinois, Zadoc Casey, avgick samtidigt och tillträdde således inte guvernörsämbetet. Ewing fick vara guvernör de sista dagarna av Reynolds mandatperiod innan Joseph Duncan inledde sin mandatperiod. Senator Elias Kane avled 1835 och guvernör Duncan utnämnde Ewing till senaten till slutet av Kanes mandatperiod.
