Jack, I think we have corresponded in the past. I think that you have more than one family here. The Robert Stewart that you have b. 1684 in Ireland is my ancestor. John who married Keturah Holt is his son and so is Samuel who married Sarah Tarbell. Yes, they did live in Andover, MA. This Robert is often confused with others. George Edison has him marrying Lydia Blair and having two more sons. This is not so. The Robert that married Lydia was the nephew of Robert b. 1684, and son of Charter John Stewart of Londonderry, NH. Robert b. 1684 is the s/o Robert Stewart b. 1655 and Jeanette Forsythe b. 1655. All of this family are reported to have been born in Scotland. Jeanette(Janette, Jeannette) and Robert had four known children: John b. 1682 + Elizabeth Clark and 2nd Elizabeth Forsythe. He is known as Charter John, one of the proprietors of Londonderry, NH Robert b. 1684 + unknown and had two sons; John and Samuel as noted above Julianne b. 1686 no further information known Samuel b. 1688 did not come to America and somewhere I read that he never married. Robert b. 1655 died in Scotland but they all lived in Ulster from about 1680 or so and his widow Jeanette and two sons and their families came to Boston Aug. 1718 from Colraine, North Ireland. John went to Nutfield which later became Londonderry, NH and Robert lived in Andover, MA. Assuming that he settled while on the road to Dracut or Londonderry. He lived there many years and then moved to Amherst, NH. Both of his sons married women from Essex county, MA . They later moved to what is Amherst, NH. John b. 1682 d. 1741 in Londonderry, married twice and his widow and mother went to Colrain, MA after his death. Many of his children lived there too and some migrated into New York State. Robert b. 1684 had many grandchildren and many stayed in NH, others migrated to VT and NY. My ancestor Simpson went to Berlin, VT and died there. His grandson Charles May Stewart moved about a lot, but settled in northern Iowa, spending some time in the Anoka, MN area. Although I have a great deal of information on Charter John's descendants, none of the names and places of the people in your list seem familiar...and I cannot see a connection to Charter John, therefore can assume that they have different ancestry. There were many Stewarts in all parts of Massachusetts during the late 1600's and early 1700's. So it would be easy to confuse them. What is your paper trail on your direct line? Hope this helps to sort some of it out.
