My earliest Stewart, my GGGG-grandfather, was William Stewart. He married Catherine Poisal of Martinsburg, Berkeley County, Virginia (now West Va) about 1790 or so. They had 3 children, William N., Sarah and Adam Stewart. Sarah and Adam stayed in Martinsburg, as did their mother, but William N., my GGG-grandfather, was apprenticed in 1801 at the age of about 8 in Mason county, KY. He got out of the apprenticeship in 1809 there, and the document notes that his father William was deceased. He chose John Shotwell as his guardian, and later married his daughter. Their son John Shotwell Stewart moved from Mason county KY to Lafayette county, Missouri, where my Stewarts stayed. Catherine Poisal was the daughter of Adam and Catherine Poisal. She died in 1828 at age 81 in Martinsburg. One source reported that this Stewart family “came from Scotland to the U.S. and settled in Maryland”.
