His followers were alled Jacobites. They defended his claim to the throne in the Battle f Culloden in April 1745. He has no legitimate heirs, however, it is laimed that ..... blah, blah, blah... children's names. This is a family story that has come down from every generation and we ere told it would always be denied. I am looking to prove/disprove t once and for all. Please advise the best place/method to research wrong side of the sheet" births to Royals. _______________________________ Subject: 19th Century Stewart: Alexander Walter Stewart, married to ary, Alexandria, Virginia, USA As far back as I can trace is to Alexander Walter Stewart, born 1810, arried to Mary (possibly Smith) 1830, Alexandria, Virginia, USA. lexander was a farmer. Alexander had 3 brothers: James (farmer) married Jane Smith obert (factor) married Mary Boyd homas (clerk) married Alice Winkler, widow of Henry Winkler and three sisters: Mary married James Boyd anet married Edwin Smith argaret married Robert Boyd Alexander and Mary had 8 children: Alexander eorge ary ames ane anet ichael obert Family legend is that Alexander's ancestors were farmers in Northern reland or in lowland Scotland. However, I haven't found information o substantiate either theory. I have not been able to figure out ary's maiden name yet. There is not much to go on with the US Census at that time. My nformation comes from an old family bible, dated 1862. ________________________________ ******************************** LEASE PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION to the address fields when you are sending or eplying to list mail. --------------------------------- lease visit Clan Stewart in America's web site: http://www.clansstewart.org ----------------------------------- ooking for Scottish games in your area?
