There was a family of Stewarts living in Martinsburg, Berkley Co., VA (now WV) in the late 1700's and early 1800's. Lazarus Stewart appears to be the father of several sons. Among their names are Adam, John, Robert, James and William. Does anyone know of the descendants of these? Could they be the ancestors of my Thomas? See note below. Looking for the parents and siblings of Thomas W(ilson?) Stewart. According to CW pension papers, Thomas W. Stewart was born ca 1827 in Berkley Co., VA. The information also gives his father as William. I first find Thomas in Henry Co., IA in the 1850 census. He married two years later, (1852) Eliza Shaner and they moved to Wapello, Louisa Co., IA. Thomas was a cabinet maker and carpenter. They had 4 children; Oliver m. Elizabeth Sullivan, William m. Phoebe Green., Charles m. Anna Graham, and Adda d. 1864. In 1872 The family moved to Boulder, CO. I can find nothing of Thomas before 1850. I hope someone can help me find my (2) great grandfather's ancestors and descendants. Thanks in advance for any help. Aneta Cantrell
Aneta, I believe this Lazarus is mentioned in Stewart Clan magazine. You may be able to view it at google books?

Rick, I appreciate your response. I have heard that several Lazarus' are mentioned in the Stewart Clan Mag. Had never had the chance to look. I am investigating it further. I did have one person copy and send me info from the book. Now to study it and see if there are any connections.
