Hello list, An email colleague recently sent me the extracts given below about this man. Those who might be related to him may already know of this resource, but it's interesting Stewart reading anyhow. Mary in Greece STUART, Alexander Hugh Holmes, a Representative from Virginia; born in Staunton, Va., April 2, 1807; attended Staunton Academy and the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Va.; was graduated from the University of Virginia at Charlottesville in 1828; studied law; was admitted to the bar in 1828 and commenced practice in Staunton; member of the State house of delegates 1836-1839; elected as a Whig to the Twenty-seventh Congress (March 4, 1841-March 3, 1843); unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1842 to the Twenty-eighth Congress; served as Secretary of the Interior in the Cabinet of President Fillmore from September 16, 1850, to March 6, 1853; member of the State senate 1857-1861; member of the State secession convention in 1861; delegate to the National Convention of Conservatives at Philadelphia in 1866; presented credentials as a Member-elect to the Thirty-ninth Congress in 1865 but was not admitted; chairman of the committee of nine, which was instrumental in restoring Virginia to the Union in 1870; member of the State house of delegates from 1874 to 1877; rector of the University of Virginia from 1874 to 1882; president of the Virginia Historical Society; resumed the practice of law; died in Staunton, Va., February 13, 1891; interment in Thornrose Cemetery. From Virginia Historical Soc. Richmond: MSS1 St 9102 e 16: The Stuart Family by Alex H H Stuart [slightly edited] =================================================== Girard Briscoe and Margaret Baber [grandparents of the writer] lived on the former's estate Cloverdale two or three miles west of Winchester; among their children were Elizabeth Briscoe b 14 Aug 1772 m. Judge Hugh Holmes [of the Ballykelly fam. - son of Joseph Holmes of Winchester]; and Eleanor Briscoe b 2 Sept 1768 m Judge Archibald Stuart ; Archibald and Eleanor had among other children Alex Hugh Holmes Stuart [writer of this memoir] b 2 April 1807 m 1 Aug 1833 Frances Cornelia Baldwin eldest dau of Judge Briscoe G Baldwin and his wife Martha Steel Brown; A H H Stuart's fifth child was Mary Stuart b Staunton 6 Feb 1844 m 19 Dec 1866 Dr Hunter Holmes McGuire. "Nothing is known with any degree of certainty as to ....the family in Ireland where they resided near Londonderry. The tradition is that they migrated from Scotland to Ireland in the reign of James I. This is strengthened by the fact that older members of the family spelled their name Stewart as the Scotch family generally spelled it. Archibald Stuart, my great grandfather was the first of the family who came to Virginia. I have reason to believe he was a man of some consideration in his own country. His will which is filed in the office of the County Court of Augusta appears to have been written with his own hand and the writing and style shows that he had more education than was usual at that early day. He is represented to have been an earnest Presbyterian and in his will, he makes his family Bible the subject of a special bequest to his eldest son Thomas Stuart. "Archibald Stuart was married in Ireland to Janet Brown who was a sister of the Rev John Brown, and eminent Presbyterian minister, who at a later date, migrated to Virginia where he left numerous descendants, some of whom became distinguished. John Brown married a daughter of John Preston. While Archibald Stuart lived in Ireland two of his children viz. Eleanor and Thomas were born. "About 1725 or later when the spirit of persecution was strong in Ireland, Archibald Stuart took an active part in some insurrectionary movement and was compelled to fly from his country leaving his wife and children behind him. With some difficulty, he made his escape to America and took refuge in the western part of Pennsylvania where he remained in concealment for nearly seven years. Amnesty having then been proclaimed, he sent for his family to come over and join him in his new home. They accordingly came to Pennsylvania and remained with him for some years. But when the upper portion of the valley of Virginia was opened for settlement, he took his family and many of his countrymen, known as "Scotch Irish", and removed to Augusta County. I have not been able to fix with accuracy the date of his removal to Augusta, but I am satisfied from strong circumstantial evidence it was in 1737 or 1738. His sons, Alexander and Benjamin, were born in Pennsylvania after his wife joined him there. It is believed he came to Virginia under Gov. Spotswood's offer of toleration. Archibald Stuart settled near Waynesborough and acquired large landed estates which in his lifetime and by his will, he divided among his four children, Eleanor, who inter-married with Edward Hall, Thomas, who was a prominent man, Alexander who also became a leading man and Benjamin, who was a man of great benevolence and universally esteemed but held no public position. "After Archibald Stuart had settled in Augusta, two of his brothers followed him from Ireland and from them are descended the Stuarts of Greenbrier, some of the Stuarts of Rockbridge, some who settled in South Carolina, and from the best information I can obtain, Hon John L Stuart, of Illinois, and Rev Samuel D Stuart are descended from one of these brothers. The family likeness between these gentlemen and members of my family indicate close consanguinity...... "Thomas Stuart married Elizabeth Moore......Alexander Stuart, son of Archibald and his wife Janet, was born in Pennsylvania in 1734 and came to Virginia with his father when about three or four years old. He grew up to be a man of large stature and imposing appearance and possessed uncommon intellect and energy of character. At different periods of his life he lived in Augusta, Rockbridge, Monroe, Tazewell and Giles Counties. He was born on 27th August 1734. He married Mary Patterson 19th November 1754. [lists of their children by Mary and 2nd wife Mrs Anna Reid whose maiden name was Miller]. Alexander Stuart was a gallant soldier of the Revolutionary War. He was second in command of the Augusta Regiment of which Col Samuel McDowell was colonel. At the battle of Guilford Court House, Col McDowell being sick, the command of the regiment devolved on Maj. Alexander Stuart, who greatly distinguished himself by his courage and good conduct. He had two horses killed under him during the fight, and was himself badly wounded and was left on the field, where he was made prisoner. [much more detail on descendants]."

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Stewart, Martin Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AmJBAIB/4577.3 Message Board Post: Incidentally, I don't believe Will and Texana (Martin) were ever divorced. While Will is buried in the Freeman Cemetery, just east of Conroe, Montgomery County, Texas, and Texana is buried in Conroe Memorial Cemetery, Conroe, Montgomery County, Texas, her tombstone lists her as Texana Stewart, and she is buried next to other Stewarts. In the 1930 Montgomery County Census, Will and Texana are listed together, enumerated 4/24, but Will is also listed with their son, Frank, enumerated 6/22. They probably had a rocky marriage, but it doesn't look like they were actually divorced. They've been listed together in all the other census years since their marriage. I show that Will used to work for Delta Land & Timber Company as a logging contractor. Owned cattle, hogs, and 240 acres of land. A story that my great uncle (Will's nephew) told me, was that one day, when Will and Papa (James Robert) were young adults, they got into a fight, and Will cut Papa's throat from ear to ear. Papa pulled a gun on Will and told him they weren't going to do things that way, and walked away, keeping the gun on Will until he was out of sight. It seems like the Stewarts were a colorful bunch of people. I'd love to hear more stories of our Stewart ancestors if anyone has any!

It includes all the kids except for Rosie, who was probably already married when the photo was taken. Will was about 14 or so in it. The unknown little girl is also in it, but she is not listed in the 1900 census, so I'm assuming she must have died prior to then. If you would like a scanned image of the photo, please let me know. Also, if anyone has any information on the identity of the littlest girl, I would appreciate it. Martha Jenkins' parents were: John W. Jenkins b.

I was not the one to find all the information myself, though, so keep that in mind. James Finley and Martha Jenkins I am sure of, as I have death certificates to back up the information, and I have been to James' and Will's graves (both, incidentally, were buried away from the rest of the family. The stories passed down to me were that they were both mean drunks, so perhaps they had fallen out of favor with the family). I hope this information helps!

I have a William Stewart born 1794 in Tarbolton, Ayrshire, Scotland. He married Agnes Brown on January 29, 1819. There appears to have been a Marriage Bann on January 15, 1819 in Craigie, Aryshire, Scotland. The birth date and birth place for Agnes may have been October 6, 1799 in Craigie, Aryshire, Scotland. William died on April 10, 1874 in Little Harbour, Pictou County, Nova Scotia. Agnes died after 1881. My husband descends from a son of this couple, William Brown Stewart, born January 16, 1824 in Tarbolton, Ayrshire, Scotland. William Brown married Janet (Jennet) Simpson, d/o Andrew Simpson and Janet Archibald. Janet (Jennet) was born about 1826. They were married on November 11, 1867 in Merigomish, Pictou County, Nova Scotia. Might anyone be able to assist in the mystery of uncovering the parents of William Stewart (born 1794)? There exists a possibility that his father may have been Thomas Stewart and his mother Agnes Rodger as per Stewart births in Tarbolton at http://fp.ayrshireroots.plus.com/Genealogy/Surnames/Stewart/Stewart%20B%20&%20M%20Ayrshire%204.htm#Tarbolton but I have no idea.

The rest of the family, David, Janet, Helen, George & Isabella were mostly born in Dundee, then Edinburgh, & moved to Northumberland & Durham by 1861, plus other parts of the world. The only thing is they were born under the surname of Turnbull, and between 1850 & 1860, most changed 'back' to Stewart, or added Stewart/Stuart to their surname or second name. However, William and John I have no idea about. Family legend said John was a ship's captain who in a fit of temper, threw a man overboard, and then fearing the authorities, he fled (to Porto Rico/USA?no idea where really?) leaving behind a wife & family with no idea either. This would be possibly in the 1850s. The dates don't coincide with yours, but the names William & John do! I don't know if they remained as Turnbull, or also changed to Stewart, or a hyphenated version of both.

Teresa, I can send you another copy of that chart if you like. Edson worked it out that he might have been the son of John Stewart of New Hanover Co. (D35) or Henry Stewart from Amwell, NJ (D175-176), or of the man who was first on the Youghogheny River, PA at Stewarts Crossing (D176). He also had reasoned that Matthew's brother John stayed in PA, and was possibly John Stewart of Mountjoy. No proof on any of this, though.

I was told that John had wanted to sail to New Zealand with another family member, possibly his brother, but maybe his son.
