    1. [STEWART] MARRIAGE LOOK UP
    2. Hi , Looking for detailed marriage info on a Richalnd CO,OH marriage of John Y Stewart and Cahtherine M Marvin 9 March 1881. Any help would be thankful for it. Looking to find off marriage record any witness names,parents names anything to help .If anyone has or can get it looked up would be thankful! Scott Stewart Eugene,OR From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Articles Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2011 11:47:54 -0700 Hi, I tried searching for Catherine Marvin and John Y Stewart but could not find anything on them on the Richland CO genweb. I have this article and it appears that John Y Stewart was not married until he came back to Richland and married Catherine. In 1880 Census he is single, the marriage index you found lines up exactly on the time frame he returned from Montana for a reunion (see attached). He died in Montana she remarried and returned to Richland(have all the records I need on that) I found records in Montana on them there too. What I am hoping for is to figure out a way to get the marriage record on the the one you found and will it show the parents name of John Y Stewart? I have Catherine parents as Silas and Judith(Kemp)Marvin. Found some on them. But my goal is to connect John to my Stewarts and so far the article I have is the only clue to this and was hoping this marriage record will connect a long lost brother? Any idea how to get this? Thanks for your help! Scott Stewart Eugene,OR

So my grandfather and Leroy were 1st cousins. Did he actually use the 't' and not a 'd'? I'm trying to figure out where the 'd' in my family and the 't' in the other families breaks off.

Author: Hellendrung Surnames: Devereux, Abbott, Hartshorn Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.stewart/6335.2.1.1.1.3/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello, Sarah Devereux is the daughter of John Devereux and Susanna Hartshorn and the granddaughter of John Devereux below. See all the information below. Nancy The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England, 1620-1633 JOHN DEVEREUX ORIGIN: Unknown MIGRATION: 1630 FIRST RESIDENCE: Salem REMOVES: Marblehead 1637 OCCUPATION: Fisherman and fish processor. Devereux was sued on two counts by William Keene of Marblehead at the January Term 1641/2 regarding the mackerel to be divided between Devereux and Edward Clark [ EQC 1:31]. At the March Term, 1651, John Devereux sued Mr. Valentine Hill for expenses amounting to more than £178 incurred on a fishing voyage to Munhegan in Maine [ EQC 1:214]. A long and difficult case, the depositions of many men were entered in the file, providing a rich and varied description of fishing practices in this early period, from paying for the bread Goody Knight baked for the fishermen to the meeting at Mr. Hill's house in Boston where Hill "importuned him [Devereux] to go to Munhigon with his men" [ EQC 1:214-17; 221; 232; 325; 2:338]. The case was appealed to the Court of Assistants [ EQC 1:233]. We learn more about his fishing business from a June Term, 1661, case in which the Nicholsons sued John over fish delivered in 1660 [ EQC 2:290-1]. Wife Ann deli! vered receipts "with her own hands" and deposed to that effect [ EQC 2:291]. When John Bartol of Marblehead died, he owed John Devereux £2 9s. in fish [ EQC 3:257, June Term, 1665]. Major William Hathorn left a fish rack in the hands of John Devereux in the fall of 1666 [ EQC 3:378]. At the November Term, 1672, John Devereux, aged about fifty-five, deposed that he had built John Codner's stage about twenty years ago [ EQC 5:110]. EDUCATION: Supposedly signed his name to several court documents, but made his mark to documents after June 1680 and to his will. OFFICES: Essex grand jury, 27 September 1660, 25 June 1661 (apparently failed to show up and was fined), 26 November 1678, 24 June 1679 [ EQC 2:250, 281, 300, 7:106, 195]. Petit jury, 24 November 1663, June 1672, 26 November 1672 [ EQC 3:102, 5:76, 107, 126]. Coroner's jury, November Term 1665, that met at his house to view the bodies of two men shipwrecked from the ketch Phenix, and March Term 1669, on the body of Marie the little daughter of Mr. Christopher Lattimore who drowned in a well [ EQC 3:296, 4:211]. Selectman of Marblehead in 1667, 1668, 1671 [ EQC 4:251; 276, 378]. Sworn constable of Marblehead, November 1657 [ EQC 2:59]. ESTATE: He was granted half an acre for a Salem houselot 8 November 1637 [ STR 1:59] and received ten acres there [ STR 1:25], but was rated as an inhabitant at Marblehead that same year [ STR 1:63]. He was granted half an acre of marsh on 25 December 1637, with a household of two [ STR 1:102]. On 1 July 1659 John Devereux of Marblehead, "fisherman," purchased from Charles Gott of Wenham, attorney for Mr. Hugh Peters, sometime pastor of the church at Salem, three hundred and fifty acres of neck or meadow in Marblehead [ ELR 1:63]. He was stinted two cows in his access to the commons, 10 April 1671 [ EQC 5:279]. On 22 July 1678, John "Deverix of Marblehead Senr. with the free consent of Ann his wife" sold to Vinson Stilson Jr. a quarter acre in Marblehead [ ELR 6:10]. On 5 November 1692, John and Ann Devereux sold one and a quarter acre of land and "rock" in Marblehead to John Waldron Sr. of Marblehead, anchorsmith [ ELR 9:105]. John had one-eighth part of a windmill at Marblehead that was in controversy at the June Term, 1680 [ EQC 7:384-5] In his will, dated 4 September 1693 and proved 20 May 1695, John Devereux of Marblehead, yeoman, bequeathed to son Robert Devereux 300 acres with my now dwelling house and barn; to "my son Robert's son Joseph" when he is 21 twenty acres out of my son Robert's land lying next to Marblehead common, entailed; to the "three sons of my son Humphry Deverix deceased," John, Humphrey and Ralph Devereux, one-third part of my land when they are 21, entailed; Elizabeth Devereux "mother of these three sons Jhon Humphry and Ralph" shall have nothing to do with the house or land or ever live on them at any time; to "my son Humphry's two daughters Elizabeth and Ann," £5 each; to "my son John deceased his three daughters Sarah, Susanah and Ann" £40 or 12 acres each when they are of age; to "my daughter Hannah Swett" £20 to her and her children that "she had by Knott"; to "my daughter Ann Nichols" and her children £20; to "my grandchild John Boason the house his mother now lives in", with! appurtenances, his mother to hold it during her life, entailed; to "my daughter Bethia Bartlet" and her children £20 and the land her house stands on, entailed; to "my daughter Em Peach" and her children £60 or 20 acres of land; to my "dear and loving wife Ann Devereux," executrix with life estate in lands and household goods at her dispose; land in Dunstable to be sold to pay debts [ EPR Case #7614]. The inventory of "John Deverix Senr." of Marblehead was brought to court 25 March 1712 and consisted of only "a thirty acre grant" valued at £25 [ EPR 310:419-20]. A just claim by Elizabeth Barker of Deptford, England, daughter of Rev. Hugh Peters of Salem, prevented the passing of most of the estate as expressed in John's will, and his "only surviving son Robert" attempted to settle things as best he could as administrator cum testamento annexo [ EPR Case #7614]. In the light of Barker's successful claim, Robert Devereux called together his brothers-in-law, sisters and their heirs to consider what was to be done to support their mother "in her old age." In March 1703/4 at the Marblehead house of Dr. Jackson, Robert Devereux met with "Joseph and Hannah Swett his wife, Anne Nichols, Bethia Bartlet, the said Hanah, Anna & Bethiah being three of the daughters of John Devouraux of Marblehead deceased, William Peach who married with Emm Devouraux one of the daughters as aforesaid and Joseph Abbet who married with Sarah Devouraux, granddaughter to said John Devouraux deceased," and discussed the tragedy of their loss [ ELR 18:174]. BIRTH: Between 1614 and 1621 (deposed aged fifty years March 1669 [ EQC 4:114]; but still aged fifty years November 1670 [ EQC 4:313]; aged about fifty-five years November 1672 [ EQC 5:110]; aged about sixty years 29 March 1675 [ EQC 6:19]; aged about sixty-four years probably in June 1679 [undated, EQC 7:200]; aged about sixty on 19 September 1681 [ EQC 8:180]; aged about seventy years June 1684 [ EQC 9:241]). DEATH: Marblehead between 24 December 1694 (deposition [ ELR 11:131]) and 20 May 1695 (probate of will). MARRIAGE: Almost certainly by 1645, and certainly by 3 September 1657 [ EQC 2:74], Ann _____; born about 1621 (deposed aged about forty-three for June 1664 court [ EQC 3:158]; deposed aged forty-six in June 1667 [ EQC 3:414]; aged fifty-four on 29 March 1675 [ EQC 6:19]; aged about sixty years June, 1684 [ EQC 9:241]); died on or shortly after 26 April 1708 (she is described as "not being dead above three months" on 26 July 1708 [ EPR Case #7614]). (Mary Walton Ferris collected nine different clues that indicate that Ann was closely related, perhaps sister, to Margaret, wife of John Bennett [ Dawes-Gates 2:293-94].) CHILDREN: i HANNAH, b. say 1645; m. (1) Peter Greenfield (his probate 29 November 1672 administratrix widow Hannah [ EPR Case #11718]); m. (2) Richard Knott (administration on Knott's estate granted to widow Hannah and her father, Mr. John Devereux, December Term, 1683 [ EQC 9:151]); m. (3) after December 1683 Joseph Swett [ EQC 9:151]. ii ANN, b. about 1647 (deposed about age 20 years, June Term, 1667 [ EQC 3:414]); m. (1) by June 1668 Walter Boston (fornication charges were brought against the couple [ EQC 4:40]); m. (2) between November 1674 (when she was Boston's widow) and June 1683 Robert Nichols [ EQC 9:84]. iii BETHIAH, b. about 1650 (deposed 29 March 1680 aged about thirty years [ EQC 7:335]); m. by March 1680 John Bartlett [ EQC 7:335]. iv JOHN, b. about 1653 (deposed aged about thirty years June 1683 [ EQC 9:52]); he is described in a petition to retail liquor as "born in the town of Marblehead" [ EQC 48:15]; m. as her first husband Susanna Hartshorn, daughter of Thomas Hartshorn [evidence not seen, but so stated in Dawes-Gates 2:295, NEHGR 74:120]. v ROBERT, b. say 1652; m. Hannah Blaney, daughter of John Blaney [evidence not seen, but so stated in Dawes-Gates 2:295, NEHGR 74:118 , Essex Ant 9:32]. vi HUMPHREY, b. about 1655 (deposed aged about 18 at November Term, 1673 [ EQC 5:247], about age 19 at March Term, 1675 [ EQC 6:19], and aged about 24 on 10 April 1682 [ EQC 8:357]); m. by June 1681 Elizabeth _____ (when midwife Wibrow Gatchell deposed that Elizabeth was struck by a cow while milking which brought on the early birth of her child and fornication charges were dropped against the couple [ EQC 8:145]), named in Humphrey's will [ EQC 49:41] and much disliked by her father-in-law, as demonstrated in his will). vii EMME, b. about 1657 (d. Marblehead June 1737, aged 80); m. William Peach. ASSOCIATIONS: In depositions at the March Term, 1675, John and Ann described lodging Christopher Codner and his master, Joseph Emmons, cordwainer, at their house [ EQC 6:19]. They were well enough acquainted that Ann could depose at the June Term, 1679, that Christopher was "twenty-one years old the latter end of September last past" [ EQC 7:225]. Her knowledge of Christopher's age probably came from the fact that John Devereux and Christopher Lattimore were feoffees in trust for Christopher and Joane, children of the late Christopher Codner of Marblehead [ ELR 2:31]. Young Christopher acknowledged that he had received full possession of his house and land in Marblehead from John "Deverix Sr." and Richard Knott, at his majority 15 August 1679 [ ELR 6:127]. The Devereuxs were well acquainted with John Bennett, and testified in June 1684 that "Bennett built the house and lived in it and died there and was buried from there. Mary, mother of Jone Boobeer, had enjoyed the house twenty-seven years. Also that Jone, wife of Joseph Boobeer is the reputed daughter of Christopher Codner which he had by Mary, daughter of John Bennett" [ EQC 9:241]. John and Ann deposed that Mary, wife of Christopher Codner, lived many years with Richard Downing as his wife and had many children by him...[ EQC 9:265, June Term, 1685]. COMMENTS: John Devereux "undertook to pay" the fines of Marmaduke Barton and Robert Allen who, at that same term of court, were convicted of receiving stolen silver and sentenced to be whipped on lecture day and Allen was ordered to serve his master, Mr. Williams, for an extra month. The connection that the two young offenders had to John Devereux is not immediately apparent [ EQC 1:35]. Throughout his life, John Devereux was in and out of court regarding suits for debts related to his business [ EQC 1:42, 45, 320, 348, 409, 2:306, 4:414, 7:419]. In the estate inventories of many of his customers and suppliers, he appeared with debts or credits [ EQC 1:106-7, 5:211, 6:308]. He was a debtor to the estate of George Pollard in September 1646 and the estate was, in turn, indebted to him for "diet for two years and a quarter," £17 12s. [ EQC 1:106; 107]. At November Term 1655 John sued Samuel Yew "For killing his cow by the falling of a tree in the commons" [ EQC 1:409]. Capt. James Smith had a writ served on John Devereux for slander, 29 September 1670 [ EQC 4:324]. Devereux took the stand in many cases over the years, often giving his age. John Devereux and Sarah Allen were witnesses when John Peach Sr. was fined 20s. for "giving Trustrum Dolliver opprobrious provoking words urging to a breach of the peace" [ EQC 1:49]. At July Term, 1645, John was a witness in the case against his neighbors Walter Price, William Browne and Samuel Archer for selling wine without a license [ EQC 1:83]. He was again a witness at the February Term, 1645/6, when John Bartall was charged with working on the Sabbath [ EQC 1:93]. John, aged fifty, deposed regarding the will of Susannah Pitts of Marblehead, November Term, 1670 [ EQC 4:313]. John Devereux testified to the death of Mary Downing "last winter" at the June Term, 1684 [ EQC 9:241]. He appraised the estates of several of his neighbors [ EQC 2:259, 5:56] and once served as an administrator [ EQC 3:136]. John was appointed and discharged as one of two feofees in trust for the Codner children [ EQC 3! :295, November Term, 1665]. Devereux contributed to the effort to build the new prison at Salem in late 1669 and was paid £4 5s. for felling 17 trees and dragging them to the water's edge [ EQC 4:213]. In March 1669 John, aged fifty years, deposed that he was asked to witness an offer of bedding by Richard Rowland to Mr. Moses Maverick in April 1667, and that Maverick refused it [ EQC 4:114]. Despite his good works, he was a boisterous and sometimes violent neighbor. At the December Term, 1643, Devereux was fined a modest 40s. for striking Henry Stacy "in his own house" [ EQC 1:58]. John Devereux and nine other men, including the contentious William Keene, were fined for drinking wine, "etc." at the January Term, 1644/5 [ EQC 1:77]. John Devereux was sued for debt by Thomas Gray of Marblehead over merchantable and refuse fish at the July Term, 1647 [ EQC 1:116]. The resolution of the case must not have been acceptable, for at the March Term, 1647/8, John Devereux of Marblehead was fined for fighting with Thomas Gray, "Also for breaking his face," as described by the witnesses, "Walsingum" Chilson and John Spark [ EQC 1:135]. At the November Term, 1651, John sued Peter Pitford of Marblehead for defamation, claiming that Pitford often threatened him "whereby he went in fear of him" [ EQC 1:243]. Perhaps he had reason to worry, for Pitford lived contentiously and! was presented for striking Joseph Rogers "several blows with his fist" some years later [ EQC 1:324]. John Devereux's wife Ann was a good match in many ways. At the July Term, 1644, we presume it was Ann Devereux who was called "Goody," indicating her husband's modest social standing. In this case, both John and Ann deposed regarding Alice Peach, wife of John Peach, Jr., defaming John Bartoll and his wife Alice, and Ann called John Peach a "wittall" [ EQC 1:62]. She witnessed the 3 September 1657 agreement between Mr. William Paine of Ipswich, merchant, and William Beale of Marblehead, miller. When the arrangement went sour, "Anne Devorex" was called to depose about it at the June Term, 1658 [ EQC 2:74]. Ann, aged about forty-three years, deposed that she weighed the pork for Andrew Rowland [ EQC 3:158, June Term, 1664]. Trespassing through the Downings' lot on their way to John Devereux's house, William Beale's wife, Frances Gilligan and Mary Parnel came to blows with Margaret Bennet over using the land as a highway. Devereux's servant, Robert Newman, aged about 17, deposed in this case and Bethiah and Ann Devereux witnessed Margaret Bennett's letter of attorney [ EQC 3:414; 443]. Devereux had many servants over the years, but not all stayed out of the courts. Devereux "his man Thomas" was a witness in the December 1642 case against William Keene, Devereux's old nemesis, but the charges were dropped since the house that was "suffering disorder" was not Keene's [ EQC 1:48]. John Slade and John Ford deposed as workers for Mr. Devereux's farm [ EQC 4:285, September Term, 1670]. Devereux servants John Hobbs and "one Francis" stole turkeys from Richard Downing in 1683 [ EQC 9:146]. Sons John and Humphrey were not above reproach, and were sentenced to be fined or whipped for being part of a group of boys that met at night and committed petty theft [ EQC 4:274 June Term, 1670]. In another extensive case, Christopher Nicholson is charged with pulling down the fence that John Devereux had erected near some rocks by the water. With the fence gone, a great deal of petty thievery went on, and some of Devereux's servants and hired hands were obliged to watch constantly, much to their inconvenience. While John was gone, Ann went to the selectmen for permission to erect another fence. This almost accomplished by servant Robert Paty, Christopher Nicholson came and pulled it down again. The outcome of this June Term 1662 case was in Devereux's favor [ EQC 2:407-9, 431]. John prevailed in a suit against Mr. Moses Maverick, John Peach, Sr. and Jr., and Richard Rowland for failing to set up a fence as agreed, but it was repeatedly appealed and he ultimately lost. This troublesome boundary cost him a lost horse and a bull mired and killed, as well as his corn threatened by animals so that he had to keep watch even at night [ EQC 4:190, 251, 285, 289]. John's ! trouble with fences lasted for decades [ EQC 7:5-6, June Term, 1678; EQC 7:324, November Term, 1679]. John sued John Codner "for removing a landmark" and won in the May Term, 1670 [ EQC 4:251]. At the June Term, 1679, John Devereux Sr., aged about sixty-four years, testified that about thirty-four years ago he cut hay in Kittell Cove marsh and was forbidden by Rev. Blinman of Cape Ann, but they afterwards agreed [ EQC 7:201]. John Devereux, aged about sixty years, deposed that having been many years inhabitant of Marblehead, and still resident there, and having no interest in the property then under controversy, that the land had been owned by Marblehead men for the past thirty-four years [ EQC 8:180]. "The Testimony of John Devereux of Marblehead aged about eighty years, testifieth & saith that about the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred & thirty I came over from old England to New England & the place of my abode and residence has been at Salem & Marblehead ever since & when I came hither here was an old Squaw called old Squaw Sachem, the Squaw of the deceased sachem which had three reputed sons, viz: John, James and George, who were the reputed sachems & owners of all the lands in these parts as Salem, Marblehead, Lynn and as far as Mystic & in those days the land where Salem town now stands & the lands adjacent were called Nahumkege by the Indians & English then inhabiting in these parts," 24 December 1694 [ ELR 11:131].

Author: SueTretter Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.stewart/7653.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: It's been a long time since you posted your original request for information about the ancestors of Alvin F Stewart, et al. Perhaps all your questions have been answered -- if so, I hope you'll share because I still have lots of questions about these ancestors we share. Below is a copy of a note written by Sue Gray in 2005: "Alexander, Margaret, and their six children emigrated from SCOTLAND to Ballymena, Antrim, Ireland where they stayed shortly befoe sailing together to New London. On the voyage, Margaret Dixon Stewart delivered their 7th child, Samuel. They were admitted to the First Congregational Church of New London on 26 Jun 1720 and later settled at Voluntown, COnn. where he was a farmer. ... On 25 Sep 1740, his son James deeded land in Voluntown to him which he in turn deeded 2 days later to his son Thomas ... His wife died in 1732 at New London where he married second a widow, Mrs Janet Rogers on 15 Nov 1732. He died at Voluntown between 1740-2, and was survived by his second wife." Sue mentioned The Stewart Kin and Hal G Ferguson of Rexburg, ID, as her source. And Hal G Ferguson seems to credit Edward L Woodyard of Armonk, NY, as his source. Sorry I can't be of more help but if you have other questions, perhaps there are some actual documented facts I could provide. Best wishes.

Author: nancydenton54 Surnames: Stewart Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.stewart/6415.3.1.3.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Do you know how your grandfather, Leroy Stewart, descended? There were six brothers who came from Scotland in 1771, two of these brothers settled in Hampshire County or what is now Mineral County. A John Stewart descended from a Jeremiah Stewart and he lived near his Uncle Thomas Stewart in Short Gap or what is now known as Ft. Ashby for 35-40 years from about 1800 until his death in 1835. I would suggest that you research there as possibly LeRoy S. descended from Thomas. Eventually after John Stewart died his son, John Gilpin Stewart, moved to WA County, MD. In the mid 1850's the Stewart left and moved to Iowa. This John Stewart had 2-3 other sons so perhaps LeRoy descended from them. I would also research Thomas as I know nothing of his descendants. Good luck, Nancy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

As it is possible that Margaret remarried again after Alexander joined the army but before 1916 when he was married Any input on this would be appreciated Regards William Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

My line that I am looking for starts with Herbert William Stewart Jr (1924-1971), I can trace it back to his father Herbert William Stewart Sr (Feb 1894-Feb 1965), his father was Barnette Clarance Stewart (Aug 1857-Nov 1933), his father was John Stewart (1828-1908) and then my line gets blurred and crossed at who John Stewarts parents were. I have listed as Archibald Stewart (1792-1851) as his father and Agnes Nancy Anderson (1800-1882) as his mother. I was messaged that my Archibald and Agnes Nancy are the wrong parents for John Stewart but they are the only ones that kept popping up for me and all the information matched perfectly. If anyone could help that would be awesome. I try and check this at least twice a month so if I don't comment back right away I will eventually. Again thank you to anyone that can help.
