I send this every so often in case there is a new Stewart that recognizes a name. Thanks. There was a family of Stewarts living in Martinsburg, Berkley Co., VA (now WV) in the late 1700's and early 1800's. Lazarus Stewart appears to be the father of several sons. Among their names are Adam, John, Robert, James and William. Does anyone know of the descendants of these? Could they be the ancestors of my Thomas? See note below. Looking for the parents and siblings of Thomas W(ilson?) Stewart. According to CW pension papers, Thomas W. Stewart was born ca 1827 in Berkley Co., VA. The information also gives his father as William. I first find Thomas in Henry Co., IA in the 1850 census when he was 23 yrs old. He married two years later, (1852) Eliza Shaner and they moved to Wapello, Louisa Co., IA. Thomas wa a cabinet maker and carpenter. They had 4 children; Oliver m. Elizabeth Sullivan, William m. Phoebe Green., Charles m. Anna Graham, and Adda d. 1864. In 1872 The family moved to Boulder, CO. I can find nothing of Thomas before 1850. I hope someone can help me find my (2) great grandfather's ancestors and descendants. Thanks in advance for any help. Aneta Cantrell
