Hi Sue, The "Younger Besson" tract is mentioned in the SCM, on pages B201, 202 and G98. It was probably the beginning section of the chart you found, as it only deals with members of this family in the 17th century. There are several sons of Stephen-3 (Robert-2, David-1) that are followed down: could you give us the link from David down to your James Samuel? Do you have the name of his wife? Best regards, Mary Mary Stewart Kyritsis Kifissia, Greece > I'm looking for my gggrandfather, James Samuel STEWART b 1812 and > lived in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
