Wish everyone left a Will with the children's names! Sorry about the mix up. Much researching on these KY Stewarts so hopefully someone will find something to connect them all. Also, parents of your line could not have been from IN as it did not become a state until 1816. Ohio was a state in 1803. Sometimes the parents will say they were born in the state they lived the longest OR that actually became that state after it received its statehood. IE: Many will say they were born in WV in 1780's which of course was VA. Ive seen that for KY as well. If we studied the history we would have better luck in finding our ancestors. I will see if I can help in some way on your line as it may help find mine! Starr Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
