General Notes: Husband - William Stewart


He came to Juniata County, Pennsylvania, in October, 1752, with his parents, Archibald and Margaret Stewart, from Newry, Ireland, and in September, 1753, came up the Juniata and settled on what later was known as the "Bark Tavern Tract," in Perry County. He was driven off by the Indians, as were the other settlers, and went down to the other side of the mountains, near Carlisle. In 1761 he came up the Juniata River, above his early settlement, to one mile above what later became Thompsontown, and on November 17th, in that year, purchased of Henry Cooper a tract of three hundred acres of land, which was warranted to Jas. Chambers, September 8, 1755, and conveyed to Cooper July 15, 1761. In September, 1763, he warranted forty-three acres adjoining. He returned to near Carlisle in the second exodus of the settlers, and in 1765 married, and Elizabeth, his wife, in an affidavit made in 1810, says that in the spring of 1766 they went to the settlement on Little Juniata Creek, now Centre township, Perry County, and in the autumn of 1766 they came to the settlement above Delaware Run, where he lived until his death. On August 13, 1768, he purchased an improvement on the opposite side of the river from his settlement, of William Willcox. This tract was then in Milford township, and in 1791 came to Fermanagh. A part of the land on this side, called "Barley-field and Hop-yard," was sold November 24, 1775, to William Brown and David Walker.

He served in the Fourth Class of Cumberland County Militia in 1778.
