Hello All other Stewart researchers, I send this out every once in a while
hoping someone new will be on the list and recognise these names.
Looking for the parents and siblings of Thomas W(ilson?) Stewart. According
to CW pension papers, Thomas W. Stewart was born ca 1827 in Berkely Co., VA
(now WV). 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, Eliza Shaner and they moved to Wapello,
Louisa Co., IA. Thomas was a cabinet maker and Carpenter. They had 4
children; Oliver Thomas b. 1853 m. Elizabeth Sullivan, William Francis b.
1856 m. Phoebe Green, Charles Shaner b. 1859 m. Anna Graham, and Adda M. (?)
Female (?) b. 1862 d. 1864. In 1872 Thomas and his family moved to Boulder,
CO. I can find nothing of Thomas before 1850. In Henry Co. New London
Twp., living next to Thomas in that 1850 census was a J.J. or I.I. Stewart,
a Methodist minister and his family, from NJ. Is this coincidence or are
they related? In Louisa Co., at the same time as my Thomas, in the Morning
Sun community, was a John C. Stewart. This John was b. 1814 in
Williamsport, Washington Co., MD, but spent his youth in Berkley Co. VA.
His father was William Stewart and mother was Rebecca Crumbly. Could this
John be an older brother of my Thomas? I am hoping that someone can help me
find my (2) great grandfathers ancestors and descendants.
Thanks in advance for any help.
