I cannot tell for sure where Andrew Stewart was born, however, the Andrew Stewart who was born in Scotland does not have a date or place of death, while our Andrew Stewart in "Georgia" does not have a date or place of birth. Putting the two together makes since for now. Many Stewart GED files Start with "Andrew Stewart born in 1764 Warren, Ga". The problem with that is the 1764 date references the date mentioned by David Dobson's book "Scots in Georgia and the Deep South, 1735-1845 and not his date of birth. The quote from that book says "Stewart, Andrew, to leave Georgia in January 1764. (Ga.Gaz.#42)" The Georgia Gazette #42 (Ga.Gaz.#42) says: "As Mr. Andrew Stewart intends to leave this province, he desires any person to whom he is indebted to come immediately and receive payment, and any person indebted to him to settle the same." If Andrew was born in 1760 or 1764 how could he collect for or pay debts in 1764? He would be no older that 4 years old. His father, another Andrew Stewart could deal with debts. You must see by the paragraphs above that Andrew has to have been born before 1764. I believe at this point that there were two Andrew Stewarts (father and son)in Georgia. Ergo, Andrew Stewart born 23 Aug 1719 (father) and Andrew Stewart born 9 Jun 1760, both Renfrewshire, Scotland have been added to my GED file.. My investigation continues. Any help would be appreciated Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
