Don -- I was very glad to see your post re these Stewarts. Although I don't regognize the names, they were apparently in the neighborhood at the same time as my 'brick wall' Stewarts. I would guess that this line of Stewarts is either related to James Stewart Jr, who moved across the river into Clark county, Indiana, or connected in some way to the mysterious William Stewart who died at the battle of Blue Licks. Another possibility is a connection to Robert 'Blackhawk' Stewart. There aren't t o o many other possibilities because Harrod's Creek was a relatively short-lived settlement, but many of the families there settled nearby, a lot of them in Clark county, IN, and a number in what is now the Louisville, KY area. In any case, I know you might not care about the above details, but it's a great footnote (clue?) for my research. Thank you so much. By the way, if anyone on this message board has further details on this Willis Stewart line, please post and/or send me an e-mail. Thanks again.
