By coincidence my ggg grandfather William Stewart born in 1804 in Harrison County had a son named Charles A. Stewart born in 1844 who had a daughter he named Mary K. Stewart (presumably Mary Katherine). ----- Original Message ----- From: "teresa stuart" <lilliebelle3@yahoo.com> To: <STEWART-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 2:20 AM Subject: [STEWART] Will of Mary K.
