Trish and David, Books like the DeVinci Code have triggered many "theories" about the parentage of many a person that people are attempting to put certain people into their genealogy. And of course, those who enjoy these "theories" seem to be the best versed on them. Be cautious of the glib tongue and good wordsmith. Nothing replaces the good old paper trail and we often have to settle for a less than what we want in our genealogy search. How many of us with the Stuart/Stewart surname has a family myth about Mary, Queen of Scots? And how many are proven? Remember that Bonaparte had many issues and making himself a Stuart might well have been another.

Dear David: No appology needed... discussion has always been welcome on this list. And, truth be told :) many will be happy to see some discussion on other than the southern USA lineages. They may even come out of lurkdom to participate. Thanks for sparking things. Yours Aye, Lauren Stewart List Admin

Dear All: Let's be cautious of mixing proven genealogy with that which has holes in it. Don't forget Michael also claims descent from Merlin. I know folks that know Michael, who say he is a very nice man. That point I won't argue. I don't know him. One of the couples that know Michael, that I do know have said that Peter Pinsky (?) has a much stronger genealogy leading to the Stuart line. So... look to Poland. Leo.... I believe you are still subscribed to the list... care to chime in here, a bit? As with all genealogy, we should attempt to go back and view the most original documents. Let's remember that a modern day book is not a primary source.

Hi Beverly; I seen your post before Xmas and with the Holidays didn't get the time to respond. I am Larry Shannon and my 1st cousin has a 25/25 match with Robert Steven Stewart. I have exchanged some information with Steve and he sent me the information he had on Daniel Stewart which appears to be your ancestor. It looks like if we have a common ancestor he was a either a sib to Daniel or family back in Ireland. This brings me to my questions/ Do you know or know whom I could contact to find out the following; 1. When he came to the US were there other Stewarts with him? 2. How was the information that he came from Ireland documented? 3. Do we know which boat he came on? And 4. Where in Derry Ireland was he located? Any of the above would be very helpful in connecting my Stewart with him. I have ordered the additional markers which may help. My Stewart family is as follows: My Mother was Edna Stewart. I have been working with the family for over 15 years with little success. Here is what I have been able to confirm; My GG Grandfather was Isaiah McSTEWART. He also went by STEWART. I have been unable to find any of his ancestors or siblings. However, I have been able to find many of his descendents but none of us have been able to find his roots. 1.Isaiah McStewart, b 16 Nov. 1801 in Blue Springs (Now Mosheim), Greene Co., TN and married Lydia Yeakley on 4 Dec. 1832 in Greene Co., TN and Bond was provided by David McStewart. Confirmed Siblings were Susannah Stewart, b 4 Dec. 1834, Greene Co., TN, md James A. Williams John McCamish Stewart, b 4 Dec 1834, Greene Co., TN, md Milissa Rachel Johnson (My Line) Virgil Abijah Stewart, b 14 Oct. 1837. Greene, Co., TN , md 1st Mary Ann Hope, 2nd Mariah Jane Lister Druzan Stewart, b 18 Aug 1839 probably McMinn Co., TN, md John Alexander Cobble Jane R. Stewart, b 29 Mar 1841 probably McMinn Co., TN md Augustus B. Cummings James P. Stewart, b 24 Jan 1843, Greene Co., TN, md Mary E. Weir Abijah B. Stewart, b 28 Jan 1845, Greene Co., TN, md Sarah Margaret Morrision M. Joseph Stewart, b 27 Nov 1846, Greene Co., TN, md 1st Elizabeth Keefhaver, 2nd Edna D. Smith Isaiah moved to Greene Co or Lawrence Co., MO in 1865 and joined most of his children. Druzan died in 1863 in Greene Co., TN and Jane remained in Washington Co., TN Any help you might have would be much appreciated.

Hi Mike, You know I cannot find Evan Stewart in 1840. Now if you check out the Greene and Polk Co census later you will see him there. Believe me, if they were not home for that 1830 census, or no one was home at all, that census taker would have asked neighbors what race they were, most likely. I believe some of my MAY family left NC nd VA for Monroe CO IN and intermarried with some Stuart family there. Do you have any May-Stewart marriages? This Evan Stewart left Jackson CO AL area for MO with Bledsoe Holder, the Talley`s, and Looney`s. What is curious to me is that Bledsoe Holder married a 1/2 Indian woman named Elizabeth Stewart. Elizabeth had 2 known brothers , Benjamin and William. A lot of this family ended up in Grayson CO TX.

I believe that census (and I haven't looked at it for a long time) is totally blank for both Evan and Dickson. I suspect they were not home when the census taker came and/or they were in the process of moving at that time. I traced Dickson to Vigo county, IN (he had already bought land there in late 1829), and yes, he was later listed in census records as a free black. I've been told, and please check and tell me if I'm wrong, that in the 1830 Monroe co, IN census both Evan and Dickson were close neighbors to George Shook, father of the Elizabeth Shook who married my gg-grandfather William Stewart. If they w e r e close neighbors it seems like a bit of a coincidence that my William popped up in the neighbohood about the same year -- he married Elizabeth in 1831 although I can't find him in any 1830 census as a head of household (he would have been 22). At the moment, DNA is beginning to suggest that Dickson, Evan, and my William could be 3 separate biological lines, but nothing is proven yet. Any input from you or others is appreciated.

Hi Mike, Is Evan your line? I see the Evin Stewart on the 1830 Monroe CO census, above a Dikerson or Dickson Stewart. Now, either that census taker made a mistake or those 2 men are "free men of color", notice not one male or female on rhe free wshite men or free white women columns.
