There are two different fathers cited for him depending on the tree you look at. The fathers are from two different places in Scotland. Which is correct? Any information and documentation, proof, of who his parents were and where they came from would be very much appreciated. After years of searching I can not find proof as to when he arrived in the colonies. Georgia did not exist in 1764 as a state as it was still a colony of England. Was he alone? What ship did he arrive on? Where did it sail from and when? Many Stewart GED files Start with "Andrew Stewart born in 1764 Warren, Ga". The problem with that is the 1764 date references the date mentioned by David Dobson's book "Scots in Georgia and the Deep South, 1735-1845 and not his date of birth. He may have entered the Georgia province/colony at that time. The quote from that book says "Stewart, Andrew, to leave Georgia in January 1764. (Ga.Gaz.#42)" The Georgia Gazette #42 (Ga.Gaz.#42) says: "As Mr. Andrew Stewart intends to leave this province, he desires any person to whom he is indebted to come immediately and receive payment, and any person indebted to him to settle the same."
