Susa/Harlow, Thanks for the quick return. Is there any other mention of Stewards (Stewarts) in Plymoth Co., Ma.? George -----Original Message----- From: Susan E.

This means that he either died or removed from the area during these two dates. Susan E.

From your first message I think you probabaly know all this already, but the people you mentioned do appear in some of the sources I have on hand. Your Elkanah, if I have these people straight and my source is correct, is the son of Daniel and Prudence (Parker) Steward. According to a Register article of 1958, "Robert Parker of Barnstable, Mass.," (see pp 197: 198-9) Elkanah was the fourth child of Daniel Steward and Prudence Parker (marriage, MD 34:117, "Barnstable Mass, Vital Records"), and was born in Hardwick, Worcester, MA 12 Aug., 1737 and married Lydia Cobb 7 July, 1761. The younger children were born in Rochester, Plymouth, MA. Daniel was the son of James Steward and Sarah Waite, and that James is the son of a Daniel, who, as far as I can tell, is the first of the line to be documented and is not, in the little I can find, thought to be connected to the James of the Fortune. But I'm not sure I have the right people or understand what the line really is. The Register article gives the date of birth of this Elkanah's father, Daniel, as 7 June, 1707. This is not the date you have, and in the Rochester VR (286) there is "Daniel, ch. Jams (Stuard), July 22, 1697." Actually one date seems to me a very little early and the other a very little late as the first child of the Daniel in the Register article is b. 1727. In any case, I don't understand, and I hope someone can clear up my confusion on this. There's also a James Steward who is mentioned in R. A. Lovell's _Sandwich: A Cape Cod Town_. He was a schoolmaster in 1686 (p. 109) and that's about all there is on him, but I think he's the same James who shows up in the Friends Meeting records. I have no idea how he fits in, if at all, and unfortunately I don't have the magnificent Sandwich VR anymore. I'm sorry I'm short of time now and haven't had time to look for more or try to sort out what I have found, but to answer the question you asked, yes, there are Stewards in the records and they appear to be the ones in whom you're interested.
