Once again trying to find a connection. My Stewarts: Jannette Forsyth Stewart b. 1655 Scotland emigrated with her two sons John b. 1682 and my line--Robert b. 1684 Edinburgh, Scotland d. unk prob. Amherst, New Hampshire, his son: John b. 1714 prob. in Ulster d. Jan 1796 Amherst, NH married Keturah Holt 1741 in Andover, MA They had six children, one being: Simpson b.5 Feb 1748/49 Amherst, NH d.14 Jun 1841 Berlin,VT married Hannah abt.1772 prob in Amherst, NH Hannah is my brick wall. I would like to share with anyone who might be researching this line from Robert 1684 or his brother John b. 1682. Perhaps we can find who Hannah was. I have no other information except the tombstone that gives her first name and her death date estimated from a vital statistic document from Montpelier, Vt. that gives her age at death. We have some false clues of her surname being either Rollins or Delano. Neither have turned up any Hannahs in the right time frame. Hannah and Simpson had eleven children, born in Amherst and Jaffrey, NH. Their names being: John, Simpson, jr., Hannah, Ephraim Holt who died young, William, a second Ephraim Holt, Elizabeth or Betsy, Luther,Sarah, Mary and Terzah, who might've been born in Berlin, VT. Any clues would be appreciated. Nora Stewart Yahl in St. Louis, MO

Surnames: Stewart Reed Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AmJBAIB/7355 Message Board Post: I am seeking any info about the family of Catharine Reed and John William Stewart, married abt. 1851 in Illinois. She was born abt. 1831 and d. 1918 in Illinois. I do not know if they had any children. She is mentioned in 1908 obituary of her brother Henry (my husband's 2x gr grandfather) as residing in Wellington, Illinois. I've had no luck searching census records, etc. Her parents were John and Catherine Landis Reed. Would appreciate any assistance and would share info on her siblings, parents, etc.

Karen, Am extremely7 interested in following up with you on the relationship of Malissa Stewart Hawkins to John Steewart of Dooly Co., GA. I firmly believe she is the seventh of his apparent thirteen children. We have only identified the last six positively and have nothing on the first six. I believe that I had just confirmed the identity of child eight when we were corresponding. This would be Malissa's sister and she had a daughter Malissa. This family moved to Barbour Co., AL, then Lincoln and Union Parishes, LA along with the three other siblings and their families (James, Saran Ann, and Eli [my grandfather and Walter "Dub" Stewart's gggrandfather]). Incidentally, we now have very near positive proof of our connection to John Stewart, Sr. (about 1740 - 1818), Darlindton, SC. Three of us, each from a separate son (John, Jr., Charles, and Elias) have had DNA tests that match 25/25. Am currently on the road in Orlando, FL. Will be back in touch when I get home. Incidentally, Dub, have been correspondiong with Donna Sutton on her Stewart line. Np conclusions yet, but a numberr of coincidental events mae the exploration very interesting.

Thursday, Fenruary 1, 1940 The Halifax Chronicle, Halifax, N.S. HOWARD F. GREENWOOD A native of Halifax, Howard F. Greenwood, 92, first white settler in what is now Lethbridge, Alberta, died in Hospital at Edmonton Tuesday according to word received here yesterday. Born in Halifax of a pioneer family whose predecessors were among the first white settlers in North America. Mr. Greenwood, former accountant for the Hudson Bay Company at Montreal and Winnipeg, came to southern Alberta in 1883 by ox-cart. Mrs. Greenwood, daughter of the late Col. Fraser Stewart, one of the first chief factors of the fur company's Winnipeg post, and her husband, lived in the first home built in Lethbridge, which was known then as Coalbank.

The were hosts to Lord Lansdowne, former governor-general of Canada, and Lady Lansdowne, during a visit of their excellencies to Lethbridge late in the 1890's.

This line appears to be similar to the one that James Stewart of the Woodlands is working on. His line goes back to a John Stewart born abt. 1740 of Darlington, SC and before that Dobbs County, NC. A grandson of his John Stewart named John died in Dooly County, GA in 1840 and a son of this John named Eli born April 1838 in Dooly County, GA. and lived in and married Jane Warren in 1858 and entered the war for the Confederacy in Barbour County, AL before moving to Webster County, MS in the early to mid 1870's and then to Jackson Parish, LA by 1879 . There was also a Shadrack Stewart son of John Stewart, Jr., 1776, of Dobbs County, NC. This Shadrack was a grandson of the older John Stewart born abt. 1740 that lived in Dobbs County, NC and died in Darlington County SC in 1818
