Hi Ron Barnett: In reply to your Stewart Lines. I might be able to help on "Bald Jimmy" I have a James Stewart born a guess between 1718-1823 in Bright County Down, Ireland, or Scotland. James can to American some time after 1748 as his son William was born in Bright County. The family from William who had 11 children, is well documented. If you are interested I can send you my Study on my line. Please use [ seamore2@cox.net ] to reply. Gloria Padach Laguna Beach, CA -----Original Message----- From: Ron Barnett Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2014 3:42 PM To: stewart@rootsweb.com Subject: [STEWART] Response to roll call I have two lines, Stewart on the maternal side and Stuart on the paternal side. The maternal line goes back to "Bald Jimmy" Stewart, born 1718 (Ireland?) and died 1783 in Caswell North Carolina. The paternal side goes back at least to John Stuart/Stewart (both spellings can be found in the records), born 18 Jan 1757 in Amelia Co Virginia and died about 1840 in Davidson North Carolina. -- Ron Barnett Life is about art.

I am searching for the parents and siblings of George Stewart, born between 1775 and 1784. I have little to document his place of birth, and what I do have is inconsistent. On later census records, two of his children are listed with a father born in Virginia; one is listed with a father born in Ireland. Notes and stories passed down through the family state that George "came from Scotland." George married DELPHIA PIERCE on August 26, 1808, in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. George and Delphia lived in Virginia for several years (likely Spotsylvania Co). They then moved to Kentucky. By the stated birthplaces for their children, it appears this move occurred sometime between 1817 and 1819. Family stories hold that George and Delphia first lived in Fayette County. I have yet to document them in that county. George and Delphia eventually moved to Mercer County, Kentucky, locating a few miles north of Perryville. They appear in Mercer County for the first time on the 1820 census and the 1820 tax rolls. George and Delphia remained in Mercer County for the rest of their lives. George died in 1823 or 1824. Delphia died in 1864. George and Delphia were the parents of eight known children: Elizabeth Stewart: b. 1810; d. 1849; married William May Thomas Jefferson Stewart: b. 1812; d. 1870; married Elizabeth Blackgrave George Stewart: b. 1815-1820; d. 1844; married Talitha Potts Lucinda Stewart: b. 1815; d. 1875; married Vincent L. Blacketer Mary Ann Stewart: b. 1817; d. 1910; married William Powell James Allen Stewart: b. 1819; d. 1896; married Emeline Hargrove and Nancy J. McGinnis Jane Stewart: b. 1820; d. 1845; married Tyra Gibson Sarah Ellen Stewart: b. 1822; d. 1916; married Richard H. Guthrie George and Delphia are my 4-gr grandparents. I descend from their son George. I would dearly love to find George’s parents or siblings, but right now am at a brick wall. Would love to chat with anyone who is researching this family. Thanks, Julie

There is one sibling in my early Stewart family who is lost. Mary Jane Stewart, daughter of William and Mary Ann (Haney), b. ca 1834 in Oriskany, NY, married 7 Dec 1853 George A. Hamilton, b. July 1822 in Scotland, in Sandwich, Dekalb, IL. On the 1850 census she was living at home with her parents in Whitestown, NY, aged 16, b. NY, attending school (p. 59). On the census of 1855 living with parents, married; George Hamilton was there too. In 1860 she was living with her parents, with her husband and young son George, in New York Mills. Found living in Ward 13, Chicago, IL in 1870: HAMILTON, Geo A., 45, boots & shoes ret[ailer], $7000, $1000, b. Scotland, parents foreign, citizen ", Mary S., 36, keeping house, b. NY ", George A., 11, at home, b. NY, father foreign born McKNIGHT, Geo, 30, fire ins agt, b. NY ", Clara, 25, boarding, b. NY ", Sanford, 1, boarding, b. IL BURNS, Kate, 18, domestic serv, b. Canada, parents foreign born By 1877-78 George Hamilton was living in Chicago, with a second wife Agnes, b. Aug 1845 in Scotland. This was confirmed in 1900 when she and George said they had been married only 26 years. With them was his son George by his first wife, age 21. Does anyone have any connection to a George Hamilton married to a Stewart, or a George Hamilton, b. ca 1859, with these parents? Many thanks, Mary in Greece

I have two lines, Stewart on the maternal side and Stuart on the paternal side. The maternal line goes back to "Bald Jimmy" Stewart, born 1718 (Ireland?) and died 1783 in Caswell North Carolina.

I am searching for the death date and burial place of Jane Leach Stewart b. 1799 or 1800 in TN, probably Carroll County, She is the daughter of William Leach b. 1761 in Rowan County, NC. Jane married John Stewart, son of James Potts Stewart b. 1770 NC, and Margaret Witherspoon, b. 1774, probably NC. James Potts Stewart moved to TN and then on to Lawrence County, IL. William Leach died in Carroll County, TN. After Jane's husband died, she left Carroll County and went to Craighead County, AR, with her children and her husband's niece Francis L. Stewart, daughter of James Alexander Stewart and his first wife, Francis Barker. They are seen in the 1860 census of Craighead County, AR. Jane had four sons. Three of them were killed in the Civil War. The fourth was captured in Helena and imprisoned at Camp Douglas for much of the war. This was Abner Potts Stewart. He survived and is my great grandfather. After the war, Abner went to MO and lived in Kelso, Scott County, MO, where he is seen in the 1870 census; however, his mother is not with him. His sister, Margaret Elizabeth Stewart had married John Wesley Barker and moved to Newton County, AR, but there is no evidence that Jane went with them though Margaret Elizabeth's family has Jane's Bible. Abner Potts Stewart married Lydia Ann Wilkerson of Sharp and perhaps of Lawrence County, AR. I have search these counties for Jane, but no luck. While she is probably buried in what is now an unmarked grave, this roll call was another opportunity to look for Jane, my great great grandmother. Thank you, Linda Wilson --

I am looking for Francis L. Stewart b. Dec. 3, 1843. She was the child of James Alexander Stewart b. Nov. 9, 1820, and his first wife, Francis Barker. They lived in Carroll County, TN. Francis had a brother, Thomas H. Stewart, b. 1842. James Alexander Stewart remarried after his wife died. He married Mary Calhoun Keaton. Francis left TN and moved to Craighead County, AR, with her aunt, Jane Leach Stewart, where they are seen in the 1860 census. Jane's husband, John Stewart, died in Carroll County, and she left with her children to go to AR. Thomas also ended up in AR, and I have located some of his family. However, I have not been able to locate Francis after 1860, nor her aunt Jane Leach Stewart. I have quite a bit of other info on this family. Any help or guidance would be wonderful. Jane Stewart is my great great grandmother. Linda Wilson --

Author: theodoms05 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.stewart/9960.1.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: So I found a problem. The James Stewart whose parents are Absolum Stewart and Tabitha Clay is not the same James Stewart married to Edith/Eda Skidmore as some of the research others have done suggests. His parents were not Absolum and Tabitha. That James Stewart was born in 1804-1868 and I found a tombstone for him here: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=26144134. This could be some of the confusion on the dates of birth for James you are finding as some has confused the two Jameses and have mixed the history. But you mention James being married to a Nancy above, married in 1843. Do you know Nancy's maiden name? That may help narrow down the search. And let me see if I can recap of what you are 100% certain of. James' parents were Absolum and Tabitha Clay Stewart. James was born in Virginia. James was married to a Nancy ? in 1843. If we can back up to what we know for certain that will help backtrack us to find the correct James Stewart and we can fill in the gaps from there.

>>> I have subscribed to this list for around 10 years trying to trace my 4 great grandfather William Stewart back beyond his birth in Virginia in 1766 in I believe Westmoreland County. In the Bible of one of his sons it says his parents were William and Susan. The Y DNA of one of his direct descendants, my mother's first cousin, is online with no close matches yet. William is reported to have had a brother who died at York Town and one who was killed at Cassidy's station in Mason County Kentucky in the 1780's or 90's in an affidavit filed by a minister in an application for a pension for caring for him in his old age by one of his daughters to the House of Representatives in the 1880's based on William's service as an Indian scout along the Ohio in the 1780's and 90's. William married Malinda Price in 1796 in Kentucky. She was from Maryland and was the daughter of Christopher Price and Mary Hatfield and was born a twin to her brother Thomas in1775. William and Malinda lived! in Harrison County, Kentucky where they had 12 children, 9 of whom survived until adulthood. They had Mary in1797, James in 1800 who died as a child, Charles in1802 who was handicapped, WILLIAM in 1804 (my ggg grandfather), John Price in 1806, Malinda in 1808, Zerina in 1810, Thomas in 1813 followed by Perry and Sally who died as toddlers, Susan in 1819, and Robert H in 1822. As far as possible I have traced each descendant for one or two generations. All except Charles left descendants. Thomas was the last to die in Missouri in1899. Malinda married Martin Light and died with her husband in 1842 in Ohio leaving 4 children. Their father William died in 1853 in Van Buren County, Iowa at the age of 87. Great to see some action on the list! Karen Sent from my iPad

In response to the call for Stewart queries, I have two Stewart ancestors. 1. Farthest back, ancestor George McDonald was born in Scotland in the 1700's and came to the US. He married a Stewart woman who was the daughter of Joseph Stewart, South Carolina. We have a copy of the will in which George and his wife receive and inheritance from Joseph. In some on-line trees, George is erroneously called George Washington McDonald. That was not him, it was his son. Also, the un-named Stewart woman has been assigned the name of Sarah in some family trees based on naming conventions of the day, but there really is no record of her name. George and his wife had sons George Washington McDonald [my g-g-grandfather], Stewart McDonald, and daughters Sarah, Bettie, Fanny, Nancy and Mary. 2. My other Stewart, also documented as Stuart, was named Mary, but was nicknamed Polly. She was born about 1792 in North Carolina. We have no record of her parents. She married Andrew Russell in South Carolina - we have a copy of her marriage license. With Andrew Russell, she had twelve children. Her sixth child, a son, is my g-g-grandfather Andrew M. Russell, an Alabama farmer who died in the Civil War, Alabama 28th Infantry. Hope this can help another Stewart researcher or two!

I believe that religious affiliation of our colonial ancestors from Ulster, was greatly influenced by "availability" of choice. My earliest Stewarts, Joseph and Mary, were members of a Methodist group in Newberry, SC. I don't remember mention of Methodist churches of Ulster, 1750 -1800.

I started posting on rootsweb back shortly after they began. I am on a number of lists.. Steuart has been one of my more disappointing ones, because of the spelling. BUT...this has been the spelling for my great grandmother, Kathleen Steuart, who was born in PA in about 1852 to John Steuart (immigrated from Scotland..don’t know where) to Mary Johnson in PA. They had a houseful of children and by 1860 the census has them in IL where he was a coal miner. I knew my Granny Kate as she died in 1947, and she had just left Indianapolis and New Castle, IN after a Thanksgiving trip there as her daughter, Helen (Helen Kennedy French) and son (Dr. Walter Urban Kennedy..my grandfather) and her youngest son John Steuart (from CA) were all there. I was living with my grandparents and Granny Kate and I were great buddies..all 4 foot 9 inches of her (and her still red hair..now colored I have a feeling). She went back to Winchester, IL to her own home, and two weeks later, fell in the back yard and laid there for several hours in a cold rain. She died of pneumonia a few days later. Granny Kate told me stories of riding horseback across the fields when she was a kid in IL; she watched Lincoln’s funeral train return to Springfield on a cold, rainy day, and her description has never left me. She told about going into Cuba with Clara Barton (my mother talked about Granny Kate’s wild imagination), and now I have the proof she did. She was a member of the Illinois Red Cross and a member of the Provisional Red Cross of Cuba and she DID help Clara Barton set up hospitals in Cuba during the Spanish American War and then she helped establish an ‘industrial orphanage’ for about 1400 hundred kids in Matanzas Province in Cuba. I knew she traveled all over the world; her 1910 census showed carnival promoter..hmmm.. Well, a cousin, who found me on this list, told me the ‘rest of the story’. The ‘Carnival Promoter’ turned out to be the lead person in setting up trade expositions for American manufactured goods in different places around the world. Explains how my father was given a black diamond by her, which she brought back from from South Africa. He had it in a ring; I was 17 when he died, and I designed it in a necklace which I usually wear. She survived three husbands; her first one was a S.?. Lawrence and they had one child. I have heard stories but no proof of who he was. She married my great grandfather (Urban Bernard Kennedy) in about 1874 and had three children, my grandfather Walter, his sister Helen (I called her Aunt Nellie as did everyone else)who married Jesse French, and my uncle John Preston Kennedy, who along with my grandfather was in WWI. Uncle John died in 1949 in CA. BUT..the mystery is still Steuart and even on her gravestone it is STEUART... Donna Nichols

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: theodoms05 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.stewart/9960.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Absolum Stewart was born in 1770 in Augusta, VA to William "Ralph" Stewart (17 DEC 1747 in Augusta, VA -18 NOV 1835 in Logan, KY) and Mary Elliott. His death is about 1829. Absolum married Susanna(h) Smith (ABT 1770) on 20 JUL 1793 and had 5 children: Robert (1794), Andrew (1795), William (1796), Elizabeth (1797), and Charles (1798). Absolum married Tabitha Clay (ABT 1778) on 26 May 1798 and had 2 children: Nancy (1799), Rebecca (1800), Eleanor (1801), Elizabeth (1802), Emily (1803), James (30 SEP 1804), Melinda (1805), Mary (1807), Johnson (1808), Harvey (1813), Cynthia (1814), Mitchell (1818), Hiram T Stewart (ABT 1821/1823 - AFT 1896). Was James married to an Edith Skidmore about 1820 in Kentucky? And was his death 10 AUG 1855 in Ohio? If so, this is the correct James listed above for Absolum and Tabitha Clay. I hope this helps get you on the right track. While I did not find birth records for this information, so my information is not verified 100%, they were located in several others family trees. It will hopefully get you pointed in the correct direction to begin looking at census records, birth certificates, and death certificates, etc. to verify and get more exact dates. Additionally William Ralph's parents were James and Ann Lafferty but I have no information found on them. My research and info comes from www.familysearch.org Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Dear Stewart Researchers: There are HUNDREDS of people subscribed to this list. However, it seems that since the gateway from the Stewart message board has opened, you subscribers to the list RARELY post. I see more spam sent to my Admin address to check and see if it is valid, than email with Stewart genealogy. It is likely that you have missed the opportunity to connect with a cousin also researching your line, because you have not posted. Consider -- when was the last time you posted? You can actually search the archiver for your address (don't forget to also check your old email addresses!) and the Stewart list to see all of your posts. You can find the last time you posted and easily narrow it down by inserting a year until you find the year you last posted... 2013... 2012, etc. I last posted in September of 2013. Look here for the search engine. This can be used for ALL the lists at Rootsweb. http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/search Have you learned something new about your line? Have you discovered you were barking up the wrong tree? Have you more to share? More to learn? Still frustrated with the same old brick wall? Need encouragement to check again where you have already looked, or come to the point you are not sure where to pick up the trail? Have you ventured to Facebook and joined the groups there? Well, they are great for sharing and chatting for all sorts of things. However, for your genealogy, Facebook is not a genealogical archive sort of place. Your queries posted there are good in the moment. They will not be found by cousins looking for information years from now... let alone months or weeks from now. Rootsweb messages are archived "forever." Benson Wills began this list June 1996. Jim Penterman was the list admin after Benson and Jim turned over the list to me on September 21, 2002. I have been the Admin for over 11 years now... and I am not even a Stewart! Ok... I am a Boyd and we are cousins going waaaaaay back. Still and all, I administer this list and read every single message to ensure that you have a good experience. Admins do a lot of duties behind the scenes that subscribers never hear of and have no awareness. Please reward my efforts by making good use of the list! I look to the list mail every single day. (Well, unless I am out of town, my connection down, etc. However, other than that... yes... EVERY day!) We have nearly 18 years worth of posts! Have you searched the archives to see if any are connected to YOUR research? Have you browsed to see the history of the Stewarts in the archives? Are you aware that quite regularly there were 1,000 or more subscribers to this list? Please sound off. Check in. Post a query. Respond to a query. Right here. Right on the list. Don't wait for others to begin. Do it. Yes, you. Now. You just might get a juicy clue of where to go next. I am challenging EACH of you to post. Pledge to yourself to come out of lurkdom and be active. As I have called for a "roll call" -- please be sure to change the subject and make it personal to your query. JUICY subject lines catch more attention. Include the name, date, location in the subject. Put one family/generation in each post. IF you need to do a "data dump" with generations and tons of people --- reply to your own message with the burning questions -- one generation/family at a time. If you find that you are inundated with mail --- don't unsubscribe! Change to the digest version. Email me if you need assistance. The Stewart-admin@rootsweb.com email goes to two of my addresses -- expect to hear either from the one showing as having sent this message or my other Admin address of ListsMonster@gmail.com be sure to put them on your accept list! The all time largest number of posts to this list was 416 in August 2005. The low was 13 in January 2013. In closing I will share one of the list messages from one of the long time and very active members. Teresa. She has contributed an extreme amount of Stewart information and help on this list. She's taking a rest from it, but her words... are still priceless! _____________________________________ *From:* teresa stuart *Subject:* slow lists lately????????? *Date:* Fri, 12 Aug 2005 16:36:42 -0700 (PDT) Hi all, Looks like the lists have been slow for a while now.

In the 1966 book "The James Stewart Family" by Florence S. Dickerson wrote a fair amount about Absolum Stewart, son of Capt. Ralph and Mary Elliot Stewart. She stated he was born about 1770, was the 2nd child of Capt. Ralph and Mary Elliot Stewart. Absolum married 1st. Susannah Smith 2nd. Tabithia Clay Their 11 child was James born 1804. Dickerson states that James married 1st Jemina Goode in 1821, 2nd Eda Skidmore on Feb. 2, 1832. James and Eda had a son James born 1840. Stanley C. Browning's "Tracking the Pioneers", a history and genealogy of Capt. Ralph Stewart and his descendants, (available at http://www.lulu.com/shop) gives James as born about 1799 in Virginia, that he married Amanda Crank, and died Feb. 2, 1872 in Trigg County Kentucky. Browning states the it was erroneously reported that this James married Jemima Goode. He does not list any children to the union of James and Amanda Crank Stewart. -----Original Message----- From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, February 27, 2014 2:09 PM To: STEWART@rootsweb.com Subject: [STEWART] absolum stewart/1770 This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
