Author: RandyStewart15 Surnames: Stewart, Steward, first name McAlonie Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.stewart/54.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: No, I don't have any idea. I had some one from New Jersey email me one time about this and I gave him the same answer. McAlonie was born near Culleoka, Maury Co. Tenn in 1868 to William and Elizabeth Gibson Steward. The family in the 1870's belonged to the Church of Christ. Father was born in Mississippi in 1823, mother in Ky in 1829. I don't at this time have any indications of a recent immigration to America that is solid. The first names of the siblings in the bible record of McAlonie indicate a Scottish-Irish background but nothing has come up yet. About McAlonie's grandfathers one was born in Virginia, his John Gibson probably in Bedford Co Va, his William Steward, b. ca. 1785, has been noted by children to have been born in Va, North Carolina, and overseas, (Nancy Stewart Henson, 1870 Giles or Maury Co. Tn census. If you come up with a better idea, let me know. Randy Stewart Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
