Notes - John Stewart, born 1682 (traditionally in Edinburgh, but perhaps in or near Carrickfergus), died 6 April 1741 in Londonderry, New Hampshire, buried in Forest Hill Cemetery near Londonderry; married 1st. Elizabeth Clark of Carrickfergus; married 2nd. Elizabeth Forsyth. John came to America in 1718 with his mother and those of his children then living. Eight children of John are known:
- Charles Stewart
- Robert Stewart, married Lydia Blair (?).
- James Stewart, married Alice Atchison (said to be the widow of his brother James), ancestor of Philip B. Stewart II (born 1922, died 24 July 1995 in Stuart, Florida), who with the help of Kenneth Robertson and James Dinwoodie discovered the significance of the Merrill Bible.
- John Stewart, married Rebecca (Costa) Patten
- Mary Stewart
- Samuel Stewart, married Alice Atchison, widow of his brother James.
- Joseph Stewart, married 1st Margaret Thompson, 2nd Hannah Hescock. In an 1818 letter to his son John, Joseph says that his family is of royal descent, belonged to the “White Rose party” (i.e., were supporters of Kings Charles I & II), and were somehow connected to “the House of Black Hall.” Interestingly enough, through the Stewarts of Ardvorlich, a line can be traced from Gartnafuaran via the Campbells of Glenorchy to Sir John Stewart of Blackhall and Ardgowan, illegitimate son of King Robert III. (See “The Blackhall Connection”}
- Margaret Stewart, married William Aiken.
