I give and bequeath unto every and each of my children hereafter named. Viz. to my son John Stewart and allso to my son Samuel Stewart the sum of five Shillings Sterling money..." However, Stewart Clan Magazine, Vol. 28, No. 8, Feb. 1951, says: https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/records/item/412788-redirect Samuel Stewart of Colerain, Massachusetts Samuel Stewart (Charles, John, Robert, Walter¹) was born about 1737 in Londonderry, New Hampshire, A:15, and moved with his father's family to Colerain, in the present Franklin county, Massachusetts, about 1749. He was a soldier from Colerain in the French & Indian war. He married about 1759 Rebecca ______ who was born May 28, 1758. He was living in Colerain when Rev. John Cuthbertson. a Presbyterian preacher from Pennsylvania, made a tour of the Scotch-Irish settlements in eastern New York and western Massachusetts in 1766. Cuthbertson in his diary mentioned visiting Charles Stewart in Colerain and baptising on the Sabbath, May 18, 1766, Jonathan and Solomon, sons of Joseph Stewart, David, son of Nathaniel Carswell; Sarah and Jonathan, daughter and son of William Stewart, and Martha, Benjamin and Cynthia, children of Samuel Stewart, E: 63. Early in the Revolutionary war Samuel went with a company of soldiers from Colerain under Capt. Hugh McClellan on the alarm of Apr. 19, 1775, and was under arms ten days. He removed in that year, or early in 1776, to Westfield [now Hartford), Charlotte (now Washington] county, New York, where he bought 262 acres of land (lot 38 in the provincial patent of 26,000 acres to Willian Cockcroft and associates, entered Mar. 8, 1760) and built a cabin on it, A:5. Samuel and John Stewart and George Patterson were soldiers in the New York Continental line which in an additional corps joined Maj. Brown's detachment of Green Mountain Boys and went with Gen. Arnold's troops to the attack on Quebec in 1776. Samuel served at various times in short tours, and his son Oliver served at one time in the same company. When the British general Burgoyne came down from Canada in 1777 to occupy the Hudson river valley one of his supply wagons broke a wheel not far from Samuel Stewart's home and was left by the roadside until a substitute wheel could be brought back. Stewart, when no one was looking, rolled a barrel of meat off the wagon and hid it in the brush. He went home and brought a yoke of oxen and dragged the barrel home on a sled made of a crotch of a tree. Samuel's father, Charles of Colerain, died in the spring of 1777, naming in his will (dated Aвг 1. 1776) his sons William John and Samuel and daughters Jennet Bell, Elizabeth Clark, Mary Peck, Margaret Anderson, Rebecca Stewart and Lydia McKown." Samuel was bequeathed five shillings, for which he signed a receipt to the executor, William Stewart, his oldest brother, who lived in Bernardston Gore (annexed to Colerain). Lydia, Samuel's sister, had married on Feb. 23, 1775, Joseph McKown of Colerain, a captain in the fighting against the Indians. Capt. McKown died in 1791, leaving a widow and an only child, Hannah, 15 years old, living in Colerain. In his will, dated in 1787, McKown said: "Item: 1 give to my nep provided he live with my wife until he is stears old....

But he died very soon after from quinsy, and for a year or two the property was vacant. Peter McIntyre, a brother, came on the same vessel to Canada, and took up the farm now known as the McLaren homestead, now occupied by Mr John B McLaren, a mile south of the town. In the same vessel came another family of McIntyres, from Perthshire - Gregor, Duncan and John and several sisters, as well as their mother, the father having died in the old land. They were not relatives of John and Peter, but were friends and had been neighbours in the old land. They first went to Beckwith, where they had acquaintances; but did not care for that section of country, and came on, following the other McIntyres into Renfrew. Even here they were not thoroughly satisfied; and determined before locating permanently to invesitage Wester Ontario. John, of the one family, and Gregor of the other, started off on a pilgrimage westward on foot making their forty miles a day.

Alan's father is unknown. It is claimed that Alan's ancestors, being Senechals of Dol, were descended from a younger earlier branch of the Counts of Dol. This claim is plausible but not proven.

| 56 | "Alexander Stewart, known to many as ``Sandy,´´ was born in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland on December 7th, 1805.[i] He grew up the son of Dr. Alexander Stewart and Mary McLachlan, who married May 21st, 1805.[ii] Along with Sandy, the Stewarts had seven other children. There were four boys and four girls. The four boys accompanied their parents to the States in 1817. They set sail around September 1st, 1817. Supposedly, the Stewart family landed in New York, but there has been no evidence found to prove this. The Stewarts arrived in Carmi, Illinois on Christmas day in 1818. The family established Burnt Prairie, Illinois, where they built a farm. Dr. Stewart began studying medicine, which greatly interested him. His doctorate was in fact, in some other field, but there was no mention of what that was. His wife Mary also studied medicine. So she could accompany her husband as his nurse.[iii] Sandy and his brothers worked the farm. In 1820, another brother, James was welcomed to the Stewart family. He was the first white child born in the Burnt Prairie area. Two years later, another brother, William, was welcomed to the family. William later went on to become a Captain in the Civil War.[iv] In 1824, Sandy´s parents sent for their four daughters back in Comrie, Scotland. Their voyage took three weeks. When they arrived in New York, their escort took their money and left them at the pier. An older gentleman, who carried a cane, encountered the girls huddled together and crying on the pier. After discovering who they were, he took the girls in and found them temporary homes. This man was Dr. Ferguson, an old classmate of Dr. Alexander Stewart´s. After two years of trying to reach Dr. Stewart, someone from Burnt Prairie was taking a trip to New York and thought that the least he could do, after all Dr. Stewart had done for him, was look for his daughters. The man went to the same pier and found the same old man, Dr. Ferguson, and was taken to the girls.[v] During all this time, Sandy was learning the blacksmith trade. At this time, he also married. Sandy married Sarah Miller on January 27th, 1826. It was then, in 1827, that they left home and settled in Albion, Illinois.[vi] After his mother´s death in 1862, Sandy´s father, Dr. Stewart, with his failing eyesight, came to live with his son. Dr. Stewart died May 5th, 1865 from injuries received from a fall he took off his porch.[vii] Sandy Stewart and his wife Sarah had 15 children, having only six live to maturity. Sarah died April 20th, 1853, shortly after the birth of their youngest child. Sandy then married Emma Senseman (Sensaman) on April 23rd, 1856.[viii] Sandy remained a blacksmith for 16 years, until his health began to give way. He then focused his attention on being a merchant.[ix] According to the Edwards County Centennial Celebration, compiled by Walter Colyer in 1918, Sandy Stewart established a pork packing house in Albion in 1843 with a capacity of 3,000 head for the season.[x] Together, he and Emma led very busy lives, running their business and raising the children.[xi] Sandy Stewart died April 19th, 1884 at the age of 79 and was buried in Albion´s first and largest cemetery, simply named Albion Cemetery. His wife, Emma, died on February 5th, 1897 at the age of 72 and was also buried in Albion Cemetery." (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Stewart-42878) Prominent among the pioneer business men of Albion who are yet living, is Alexander Stewart, who was born December 7th, 1805, in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. His father, also Alexander by name, was a physician. His mother's maiden name was Mary McLaughlin. They came to America in 1818, reaching Carmi, White county, Christmas day of that year. They first located in Burnt Prairie. In the family were nine children David, James, Henry, John and Alexander, being the sons; and Jesse, Christina, Martha and Mary, the daughters. To them was born William in this country. Part of the family remained in Scotland with their grandfather until 1824, when they too came thither. The family took up their residence in Albion in 1827, where Alexander Stewart, Sr., died May 5th, 1865, aged 87 years. During the last eight years of his life he was blind. The subject of this sketch, whose portrait is shown above, followed farming until he reached his majority, when he commenced blacksmithing, which he prosecuted vigorously for sixteen years, when, his health giving way, he entered upon his career as a merchant. In this vocation he, by energy and straightforwardness, compelled success. He was married to Sarah Miller, daughter of James Miller, a farmer of White county, January 19th, 1825. She died April 20th, 1853. He was married to his present wife, Emma A. Senseman, April 23, 1856. She is the daughter of John H. and Elizabeth Senseman, natives of North Carolina, whence they came here, via New York. Mr. Stewart has led an active, busy life. He is a man of superior business qualifications, of unquestioned integrity of character, and has won the esteem of all associates.

| 57 | "Alexander Stewart, was apprenticed to Alexander Baird, Merchant in Edinburgh, on 3 August 1698 and settled in Stirling. He married Katherine Drummond (who survived him and was his executor in 1724) and died in January 1724 having had issue" (Gordon MacGregor, Red Book of Scotland) Alexander's wife, Katherine Drummond, is mentioned in the following reference from the MacGregor Collection: "Catherine Drummond and [her son] Robert Stewart, she was mother to R Stewart an idiot and alimented him 1721 - 1751. In that year he succeeded Buchannan to Ardvorlich. (Norison’s Decisions No.46, p412, Vol.1 ) He died unmarried in 1760 - Dundurn Tombstone." Stewarts of the South says incorrectly that "[David's] brother Alexander married Stewart the heiress of Craigtown of the family of Annat. (sic) Craigtown is in Down [Doune] parish now Earl of Murray's Estate. By the Heiress he had one son and some daughters. The son was a lunatic, but had the income of the estate [of Craigton] during his life, his sisters claimed the estate but were rejected." Stewarts of the South has confused the spouses of this Alexander Stewart with that of his uncle, Alexander Stewart in Lurgavowie. The "lunatic" referred to above is Alexander's son, Robert Stewart, 6th of Ardvorlich. In 1748, Alexander Stewart, younger in Ardvorlich, was named as a cautioner in the testament dative of Donald McLaren of Easter Ardveich, chief of Clan McLaren. As Alexander's older brother, Robert Stewart, 5th of Ardvorlich, was still alive in 1748, this raises the question of why Alexander was named cautioner, and not his older brother. As Robert Stewart, 5th of Ardvorlich, died in 1751, it would appear that he was already in declining health by 1748 and that Alexander was acting in his stead as de facto head of the family. When Robert Stewart, 5th of Ardvorlich, died in 1751, the estate passed to Alexander's son, Robert, who became 6th of Ardvorlich. This would indicate that Alexander died sometime between 1748-1751. Otherwise, if he was still alive in 1751, then he would have inherited Ardvorlich before his son. | Stewart, Alexander in Ardvorlich (I14394)

| 58 | "Alexander Stewart, was executor and creditor to his brother, James Stewart of Ardvorlich, in 1698. He married firstly, to Mary, eldest daughter of Alexander Stewart of Annat (c/m 15 December 1683) in consideration of which his father granted them an annualrent of 2000 merks to be uplifted from the lands of Ardvorlich and Ballemeanoch."

| 59 | "Alexander" is a theoretical construct who is suggested as the possible ancestor of 4 Line - The Stewarts in Inverlochlarig Mor, shown below. There is no known documentary evidence for his existence. As the Inverlochlarig Stewarts descend from the Glenogle Stewarts at a point that is probably junior to that of the Caleb Stewarts and probably senior to that of the Auchtow Stewarts then the most logical place for them to descend would be here. However, it must be considered that the reliability of the ranking of the cadet lines as presented in Stewarts of the South probably decreases with the later lines. Thus it cannot be counted on that 4 Line is necessarily junior to 3 Line and senior to 5 Line, only that the author of Stewarts of the South believed that to be so. See the notes on this line below for more information. | Stewart, Alexander? of Glenogle 4-Line (I14708)

When quite a small boy he moved with his parents to near Franklin, Tennessee, where he was reared and educated.The following obituary was published by the press at the time of his demise “Sometime in the (1850’s) he (Matthew Fontaine deGraffenried Jr) moved to Kentucky with his brother, Tignal Duncan deGraffenried, and his sister Mary Ann deGraffenried Pritchett and her husband. They all engaged actively in the manufacture of pig iron, operating the Mammoth Furnace in Lyon County. They were thus engaged when the Civil War broke out. Being a staunch Southerner, Matthew Fontaine deGraffenried Jr abandoned his business and volunteered his services to the cause which he believed to be right. He was a member of the Twentieth Tennessee Regiment and held the rank of captain. He remained a Confederate soldier until the close of the war. He and his family lost heavily in consequence of the war, being extensive slave-holders, besides having a considerable amount of iron seized by the Government at the Metal Landing above Eddyville. After the close of the war he returned with his brother and sister and took charge of their large land estate, which they disposed of to the Grand Rivers Company. They took stock with that Company to their hurt.” “He was an Episcopalian, and held prominent positions in his church while in touch with it. Being located near Bethlehem Baptist Church, he and his wife gave friendly aid to it. Their children were both members of that church. As a father he was tender, as a husband affectionate, and as a man kind-hearted. While surrounded with plenty, he could, as the writer has cause to remember, give kindly encouragement to those who were poor and in trouble.” Captain Matthew Fontaine deGraffenried (Jr) was twice married, first to Miss Flora Stith in 1860, who lived but a short while, leaving no child. He then married in April,1873, to Miss Henrietta Williams, who survived him." https://vongraffenried.wordpress.com/metcalf-degraffenried-matthew-fontaine-de-graffenried-sr-1797/ ---------------- "CSA (Confederate States of America), Captain, Company H, 20th Tennessee Infantry Served with the 20th Tennessee Infantry CSA.

| 76 | "Charles Duncan (1812/3-1886), a planter who married a daughter of U. S. Senator John Black." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Stewart_(Mississippi_politician)) Charles Duncan Stewart, born about 1813, was the son of Colonel Duncan Stewart and Penelope Jones. He is descended from King Robert II. He and his brother James Alexander Stewart ran several successful plantations near Morganza, in Pointe Coupee Parish along the Mississippi River. During the Civil War Charles Duncan Stewart, along with a group of likeminded gentlemen, was accused of burning his neighbor's cotton crop and sued for damages. He swore he did not want to see the day that slavery ended, and he got his wish. Shortly after the war he went blind. He and his wife Julia donated the land and the bricks for Saint Stephens Episcopal Church. His three daughters died in infancy. His son, John Black Stewart, attended the University of Virginia, graduating in 1878. He then moved to New York and married Elizabeth Luzby. They made several extensive trips to Europe. John Black Stewart returned to New York City and worked as a stock broker for Charles D. Barney & Co. (later Morgan Stanley Smith Barney). (FindAGrave) | Stewart, Charles Duncan (Planter) (I15008)

| 78 | "Charter" John Stewart had several sons, including (unsurprisingly) a son named John, who was born in Ulster in 1711 and came with his father to New Hampshire in 1718-19. This son John married Rebecca (Costa) Patten, born in Edinburgh, Scotland, widow of Robert Patten who died on the Atlantic passage and was buried at sea. John moved from Londonderry, N.H., to Windham, N.H., and was a soldier in the French and Indian War, dying in service to the Crown on 29 March 1761. I don't know John's rank -- he served under Col. John Goffe and Capt. Alexander Todd in the British invasion of New France/Canada, and it is quite possible he had the rank of Lieutenant. Among the children of John Stewart of Windham and Rebecca (Costa) (Patten) Stewart was their eldest, a son named John, born in Windham on 22 Sept. 1743 -- for convenience, we'll call him John Stewart III. He married his cousin Rebecca Stewart, daughter of my own ancestor Charles Stewart of Colrain, Massachusetts. (Rebecca's sister Margaret is my great-great-great-great-great-grandmother.) The fifth child of John Stewart III and Rebecca was Agnes Stewart, born in Windham, N.H., on 4 Aug. 1771. Agnes married in 1793 to Dr. Daniel Allen of Colrain, Mass. This is as far as Severance's old Stewart Genealogy traces this line. Severance (p.69) says only that Agnes and Daniel "went West. The old people say that they had a large family of children but no trace of them can now be found." (Jared Olar) | Stewart, John (I21358)
