Anyone on the list part of Duncan Stewart line? This is my mothers line which goes back through her grandfather Nathaniel Leroy Stewart Jr. who was born in Maine. The following is what was written in SCM article. James A. Stewart Lakewood, CA From the STEWART CLAN NEWSLETTER December, 1923, Vol. II No. 6. Duncan Stewart appears first in Ipswich, Mass., where he married early in 1654, Anne Winehurst. Both were in the service of George Hadley (Essex court files 2:130). After "Working their Time" they moved to Newbury in 1659 and for 30 years occupied a farm on that part of the Dummer estate now a portion of the Caldwell farm in "Byfield Parish" near the Rowley line. They removed to Rowley between 1688 and 1691. No evidence has been found that he or his sons engaged in shipbuilding or ever owned a ship yard as stated in Gage's History of Rowley. His name is on the Newbury tax-list of August, 1688 and in the Rowley list of 1691 when he was assessed 2 lb. He deposed in 1698 that he was about 75 years old.
