The Stewarts of Appin were descendants of Alexander, the 4th High Steward of Scotland. There most likely were other Alexanders within the Appin Clan but the 4th High Steward is the one you hear most about. The original Alexander inquiry in the 1st post...it seems that Alexander was most likely born in Appin Scotland and died in Marlboro Massachusetts. His parents are named by many to be Alexander and Helen Campbell but I have them having only a single child, Duncan. The Alexander who married Hannah Templar seems to be the son of a Daniel Stewart but Daniel wasn't a common Stewart name in Scotland. So I think over the years there has been a mixing of information here among Alexander Stewart, Helen Campbell, their parents and birthplaces. I am only finding family trees with their information and nothing from reliable sources such as birth records, marriage records, etc. that would indicate who is who. Susan do you have any definitive information on Alexander from records other than family trees that we can begin research from? If we can pinpoint that down, it would be helpful as the only things I find are from unreliable sources and one set says Alexander given the years y! ou state was born in Ireland or Scotland and moved to Mass and another set saying he was born in Mass and died there...both sets married to Hannah Templar but all sorts of options for various parents.
