Surnames: BROWN STEWART Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QBC.2ACI/2079.1.2.1.1.1.2.1.1.2 Message Board Post: Does anyone know why Evan Stewart Brown was given the name Stewart? I'm curious because my gggrandfather was Stewart BROWN. From what I found, he was born in PA (possibly southwestern PA) abt 1801. He married in Fairfield Co, OH, 1829, then was in IN by 1830. I've always wondered if his given name came from a BROWN that married a STEWART. So what's the history of the Stewart name in your line?
