I am posting my New York City Stewart family again with the hope that with new listers a name will ring a bell. Lewis Stewart b. @ 1800 NYC... shoemaker d. 1854 Married Hannah Mead(e) @1826 NYC. d. 1873 ( I know her mother's name is Bridget) Children : Elizabeth Matilda Stewart b.@1829 m. Harry Bidet Charles Lewis Stewart b. @1832 Theodore Stewart b. @ 1837 d. 1887 Caroline Virginia Stewart b. @1840 m. Thomas Waite Edward Stewart b. @1841 James M. Stewart b. 1847 d. 1916 Franklin Stewart b. 1850 d. 1892 (lived in Hudson River State Asylum at time of his death) One of the men above is my great great grandfather. My brick wall is WHO. Theodore Stewart owned 2 saloons/cafes named STEWART'S in NYC in the Wall Street district. ( Warren Street and another on John St). He apparently never married, however, he raised my great grandfather, Theodore Lewis Stewart b@1864 d. 1940. Theodore (the elder) left the bulk of his estate to my great grandfather. I know that Theodore L's mother was Josephine Cushing and was a dressmaker. In the 1880 census, Josephine is living with her mother in NYC while her son Theodore is living with "Uncle???" Theodore and Aunt Caroline Waite and her husband, Thomas Waite. I was able to discover most of this information from an obituary of my great grandfather which led to finding the family in a plot in Green Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn ( has all burials on line!!!) With the names in the plot, I was able to trace back to Lewis.
