Donna, The name Hannah in connection with Stewarts always piques my interest as I have a direct ancestor with that name and no surname who married Simpson Stewart in New Hampshire and they migrated to Berlin, Vermont about 1800. They had a daughter Hannah who married a John Black in Berlin. I have a few other Hannahs, but none of their time lines are good for your Hannah. Where in New England were your Stewarts from and perhaps that would be a start? My ancestor's brother John (or Charter John as he was called) was an original proprietor of Londonderry (now Derry) New Hampshire in 1719. My ancestor Robert brought two sons from Ulster in 1718 with his brother's family and mother and settled in Andover, MA. Charter John had a large family, many who migrated to Colraine, MA and then to other places in New York state. Perhaps your Stewarts relate to them. Give us more information.

His mother was Edith (Mix) Stewart. I knew he spoke of sisters Lena and Jesse that he visited in Sacramento & areas in California and niece in the 70s and 80s before he passed away in 1988. He also spoke of a Babe & a Red. My father was a butcher mainly by trade, but he loved to tell us stories of the old days in the "old west." He loved to visit Las Vegas while on his visits out west. He had been married before and had a son before marrying my Mom, Elizabeth (Betty) Warner, and after they were married they had lived in Colorado for awhile with my brother before I was born. I have a brother Ed (Butch), and 2 sisters Elizabeth, and Edee Jo.

Hi Nora I am not saying I agree with the theory about Napoleon, just that I have heard it before. As far as MQS goes, she has many descendants and I simply offered some of the known possibilities for people to try to connect to. I am totally aware the Da Vinci Code is a novel. However, long before Dan Brown there were many who wrote of these theories, including theological work. So always keep an open mind. Truth is often stranger than fiction. As far as claiming actual descent, I absolutely agree one needs a paper trail or other strong evidence.

In 1751 he recovered Dean Castle and the forfeited Kilmarnock lands, but later sold them, as in 1758 he s his great-aunt as 15th Earl of Erroll and took the surname of HAY (see ERROLL E). .................................................. Also, it was Robert, Lord Boyd who was Mary Queen of Scots' confidant while she was locked away in the Tower for 25 years. Boyds and Stewarts have familial and other connections going back to the Senechals of Dol in Britany before the surnames existed. Our ties continue today, with the cooperative efforts between our clan organizations. Yours Aye, Lauren Stewart List Admin aka Lauren M.

Hi Dorothy, This is a long shot, but my ears perk up whenever I see the name Alexander Stewart. My Alexander came much later, but was also in Massachusetts. My Alexander Stewart was my grandfather, and my dad, Russ Stewart, was born in Holyoke in 1909. His mom was Ellen Moss. My Dad had an older brother, Jack (John?) married to Kay, and 2 sisters, Ada (married Alden Haight and lived in Connecticut, had 2 sons, one named Alden) and Dorothy/Dot who married several times. Her last married name was Milton I believe. She had at least one son, and I remember his name was David. Alexander died young from a burst appendix. Ellen married again (to a bridge keeper) and moved to Bridgeport, Conn. So Dad and his siblings grew up in Connecticut, as did their offspring. We also have a soldier named John, one generation further back...if I can only find the yellow dog-eared clipping! I sure would love to swell the ranks of 'Northern' Stewarts. Maybe this will sound familiar to someone, only it doesn't go back very far. I am checking census records as we speak. No luck so far. Love the list. Hope springs eternal! Thanks all.

Now I'm really intrigued (and a little confused) -- it would seem that the Bledsoe Holder might be connected to Hamilton Stewart, but let me know if you know exactly how. Looking at rootsweb, it appears that Bledsoe Holder married Amanda Elizabeth Stewart, whose mother was Anna Elizabeth Colbert (doesn't sound very Indian) , but whose maternal grandmother is listed as 'Unknown Mintahoyo' , so maybe Elizabeth was one q u a r t e r Indian . . . Her brother was William P. Stewart, apparently, but I haven't found out anything else about him. Let me know anything moret you know about Elizabeth. Thanks.

I've posted my Northern Stewarts several times with little or no response. My line started with Alexander in Massachusetts, presumably a prisoner of Cromwell ( He is thought to be a brother of Duncan??)Alexander and his presumably, second wife, Deborah Rediate Farrowbush, married in 1688 and lived in Marlborough,Mass. They had Daniel b.1691, who moved to Paxton, Mass where Daniel Jr. was born in 1722. They moved to Brattleboro ,Vermont where they fought in the Revolution. Jabez was born there in 1770.

Hi - not sure if you mean you are descended from both Henry and his brother, or just his brother? Anyway, go to www.genealogics.org and do a name search using the spelling of Stuart for Henry, Lord Darnley. You can click up and down the generations and you will find he only had 1 brother Charles Stuart, Earl of Lennox who was father of 1 daughter, Arabella Stuart. Just quickly here is some of what I know - take your pick Henry, Lord Darnley only had the 1 legit son, James VI & I James VI & I had 7 legit children, inc Charles I Charles I had 9 legit children, inc Charles II and James VII & II Charles II had 0 legit but 12 illegiti children James VII & II had 15 legit and 5 illegit, including James VIII of Scots James VIII Scots had 2 legit sons, inc his son Bonnie Prince Charlie Generally it is said Bonnie Prince Charlie left no children, sometimes you will see references to daughters Clementina and Charlotte and sons James and Charles. These lineages have been obscured for political reasons. It is suspected he left one legitimate son and up to about 12 illegit children - there are many books on the topics, some very old, some very new - some appear genuine, others not quite so. It is a political hot potato but I know of someone who descended from him whose family always covered the political incorrectness by saying they were descended from Mary, Queen of Scots and Lord Darnley.

In fact the Stuart line really endures to this day. After Queen Anne, the last Stuart, died childless she was succeeded by George I, the first Hanoverian. In fact George was a direct descendant of Mary the daughter of James I (of England, VI of Scotland) so George I had Stuart blood. Despite numerous family name changes since QE II is essentially a Hanoverian and therefore descended from the Stuarts. My wife and I recently went on a visit of St James's Palace in London arranged by the National Trust. We were shown round by a gentleman whose official title was Serjeant Verger of The Chapel Royal (which is part of the palace). It turned out his other job was to be the curator of the royal ecclesiastical papers, most of which he seemed to have read. He was a one man Da Vinci Code, full of stories of conspiracies and plots. The most amazing thing he said, which was just in passing and he didn't elaborate, was that "Napoleon was a Stuart of course; his real name was Stuarte; Bonaparte came from his mother side". I have tried to verify this on the web and completely I have failed to do so. In fact I have seen genealogies which show Napoleon' father and grandfather as Bonapartes. So controversial to say the least, but this man did know things, had seen the original papers, and emperors did tend to interfere with history to tell the story they wanted heard. Intriguing.

Hello. In response to messages posted about Mary Queen of Scots, her family tree is found here: http://www.marie-stuart.co.uk/trees.htm If you scroll down the page Note: The = sign marks a marriage, with the | sign showing the children of that particular marriage underneath. Mary, Queen of Scots = Henry Stewart, Lord Darnley | James VI of Scotland If anyone is interested, Margaret George has written an historical biography "Mary Queen of Scotland and the Isles" I have read it a few times and really enjoyed it.

I haven't found any May connection with my Stewarts although the name shows up often whenever I look into one of my 'migration' theories. I've found clusters of the same surnames in places like Fayette county, PA showing up as neighbors a census or two later in Monroe county, IN . . . as for Evan Stewart, I can't be sure he's the same guy that wound up in MO, but like you I couldn't find an Evan anywhere in 1840. There's just so few Evan Stewarts anywhere in the 1800s. I'm speculating that Evan had problems relating to slavery and went through a period of trying to 'escape' those problems; going out on a limb, I wonder if the Dickson Stewart next door to Evan in Monroe county, was at one point 'owned' by Evan or was an illegitimate son (not sure if Evan was old enough for that). This is wild speculation to be sure, but that's what I wind up doing with my 15-year old brick wall. My William Stewart's presence at that time and place in IN may simply be a coincidence, but knowing my family's tendency to be secretive about their origins further encourages me to take wild guesses -- your mention of the half-Indian Stewart women is a possible example of that: my father and grandfather were always sensitive to any suggestion that we might have any Indian blood, enforcing a slience on the subject, without explanation. All that may mean nothing, but it fuels my speculations . . . Mike ---- teresa stuart <lilliebelle3@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hi Mike, > You know I cannot find Evan Stewart in 1840.

Anyone on this list searching for the following Stewarts who had a Major(s), Lea(Leigh),Lacy connection? Phillip Major(s) left land in Halifax Co. to the following grandchildren in 1819. George Stewart, William Stewart, Elizabeth Stewart, Lucy Stewart, Allen Lea, William Lea Ola(Lola?) Lacy. There were Majors and Stewarts in Guilford Co, NC, which isn't very far from Halifax Co. VA. Could these be Guilford Stewarts?

Do you have an address for the curator of the royal ecclesiastical papers? So much of what some cousins and I have found and read regarding the descendants of James V of Scotland is conflicting, it would be great to find some one who has actual records.
