Andrew Stewart; married Esther Wallace. They settled Gortegal, County Tyrone, Ireland. ....2. Robert Stewart; settled at Killymoon, County Tyrone, Ireland. ....3. William; probably lived most of his adult life in Ayrshire; a Chalmers family appears to be descended from this son. I have a Captain Andrew Stewart marrying Sarah Stewart at Gortigal and James Stewart and Barbara Lindesay at Ballymenagh and two sisters. They were probably related to Lord Ochiltree as reported in Stewart Clan Magazine Volume 37 Number 3. No particulars are available, except that Capt. Andrew Stewart had an elder brother James, who purchased Cookstown; a sister Barbara, who married Rev. Richard Darroch, rector of Derrytown; and a sister Grizel, who married -------- Richardson of Clogher, County Tyrone. Capt. Andrew had at least one son--Hugh-whocame into possession of Gortigal. Hugh married Margaret Morris and had two sons-James, who became rector of Cheynor, of whom nothing more is said, and John, who was born in 1681 and succeeded as proprietor of Gortigal. John married Mary Kennedy, They were parents of Rev. Hugh Stewart, born in 1711, who became rector of Termon, County Tyrone. Rev. Hugh married Sarah Hamilton, and had three sons--John, Andrew and Henry. John, who was born in 1757, was created a baronet of Athenry in 1803. Andrew, his brother, was an official of the East India company, and Henry, the other son of Rev. Hugh, was rector of Loughgilly, County Armagh. So it means that none of these later generations, from Rev. Hugh on down, was among our early immigrants. Farther back, in Capt. Andrew Stewart's day, there may have been an olfshoot which proliferated into a bevy of emigrants. James Stewart, said to have been an elder brother of Capt. Andrew-and therefore born about 1610-purchased Cookstown and adjacent lands in County Tyrone from Cook (or Cooke). He settled at Ballymenagh. The name of his wife was not given, =C: 45. He died in 1669. He had a son William and five daughters --Janew, ho married Thomas Goodlott of Derrygallie; ---,who married Rev. John Cheevers of Manor Roe; , who married James Richardson of Clogher, her cousin; Sarah, who married -----Barkley of Magherafelt, County Derry Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
