Hi Dorothy, This is a long shot, but my ears perk up whenever I see the name Alexander Stewart. My Alexander came much later, but was also in Massachusetts. My Alexander Stewart was my grandfather, and my dad, Russ Stewart, was born in Holyoke in 1909. His mom was Ellen Moss. My Dad had an older brother, Jack (John?) married to Kay, and 2 sisters, Ada (married Alden Haight and lived in Connecticut, had 2 sons, one named Alden) and Dorothy/Dot who married several times. Her last married name was Milton I believe. She had at least one son, and I remember his name was David. Alexander died young from a burst appendix. Ellen married again (to a bridge keeper) and moved to Bridgeport, Conn. So Dad and his siblings grew up in Connecticut, as did their offspring. We also have a soldier named John, one generation further back...if I can only find the yellow dog-eared clipping! I sure would love to swell the ranks of 'Northern' Stewarts. Maybe this will sound familiar to someone, only it doesn't go back very far. I am checking census records as we speak. No luck so far. Love the list. Hope springs eternal! Thanks all.
