Donna, The name Hannah in connection with Stewarts always piques my interest as I have a direct ancestor with that name and no surname who married Simpson Stewart in New Hampshire and they migrated to Berlin, Vermont about 1800. They had a daughter Hannah who married a John Black in Berlin. I have a few other Hannahs, but none of their time lines are good for your Hannah. Where in New England were your Stewarts from and perhaps that would be a start? My ancestor's brother John (or Charter John as he was called) was an original proprietor of Londonderry (now Derry) New Hampshire in 1719. My ancestor Robert brought two sons from Ulster in 1718 with his brother's family and mother and settled in Andover, MA. Charter John had a large family, many who migrated to Colraine, MA and then to other places in New York state. Perhaps your Stewarts relate to them. Give us more information.

HIs father Charles STEWART died on 22 February 1750 and his grandfather Daniel STEWART died in 1703. Would love any more info or tips on how to research this line, particularly any insight into what their lives were like. Thanks, I love this list~ Donna Deiss <snipped>And, truth be told :) many will be happy to see some discussion on other than the southern USA lineages. They may even come out of lurkdom to participate.--Lauren <snipped>Amen! Any clues of how to get the 'lurkers' out of hiding? I really cannot believe that there are no researchers that do not claim lines to either the south or to Canada. But where are they?--Nora

Hello: Thanks for responding. I loved getting all the extra info in your e-mail too. My John MEADER m. Hannah STEWART 30 October 1736 in Nantucket or Franklin County Maine. Their son Frances MEADER was born in Nantucket 3-11-1744, served in the infantry in the Revolutionary War and lived to be 95. He married Mary HOLLEY and the Meaders lived for generations in Franklin County, Maine -- Industry, Maine. I really want to find who first emigrated and from where and as much as I can about what their lives were like. Thanks for your response.
