There was a family of Stewarts living in Martinsburg, Berkley Co. VA (now
WV) in the late 1700's and early 1800's. Lazarus Stewart appears to be the
father of several sons. Among their names are Adam, John, Robert, James &
William. Does anyone know of descendants of these. Could they be the
ancestors of my Thomas? See note below,

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.
