Kim are you on the Stewart list? You might want to post it there as well.
You never know who is searching for that Stewart.

Subject: [BALTGEN-L] Need some help
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Hi everyone,
I am in need of some serious help with my family research.
Maybe someone could guide me me in the right direction or maybe do a look-up
or two for me or maybe someone is connected to my family. Here is my
problem.

My third great grandfather's name was Thomas N. Stewart, born August 15,
1849
in Massachusetts and was reared in Baltimore, Maryland. He died December 29,
1911 in the National Military Home in Montgomery Co., Jefferson Twp., Ohio.
Before entering the National Military Home in Ohio he was in the Soldiers
and
Sailors Home in Erie, Pa. He served in the U.S. Navy from April 12, 1861 -
July
8, 1872. He Enlisted three times total and was discharged all three times.
He
married Mary Ellen Wyant (might also be spelled Weyant) in Westmoreland Co.,
Bridgeport, Pa. in Nov. 25, 1875. Thomas and Mary Stewart had two children
Ida
J. Stewart , b. June 21, 1876 and Simon Henry Stewart born March 3, 1879 in
Fayette Co., Connellsville, PA. He had a sister named;
Lizzie Stewart also called Lida Stewart (I am not sure if Lizzie is a
nickname or not) from the 1910 - 1930 Baltimore City census she was born
1860 in
Maryland.

Census year 1910 Baltimore City, Supervisor's Dist. No. 170, Enumeration
Dit.
No. 3 A. 11th Ward. Address 1302 Linden Ave. I found Thomas's sister as Lida
Stuart age 50, W F , as a Boarder, living with a Augustus M. Cottem and his
wife Lucy B. and their daughter and son in law Wm. Sterling and a Dollie
Johnston.

Than 1920 Census Baltimore City, Sup. Dist. 3rd, Enum. Dist. 229/ 11 B, Ward
of 14th. Address 1532 Linden Ave. found Lida Stewart age 60, W F as a
Boarder, living with a Mary G. Porter and a sister Ellin and others lived
there
as
well.

Than in the 1930 census Baltimore City, I found Lizzie Stewart age 70, W
Female as a Lodger, living at 231 Lavale Street, with Miss Mary G. Porter
and
her
sister Frances E. and other Lodgers.

Lizzie Stewart did not have any occupation in any of these census. How did
she ever support herself?

Does anyone know anything about Baltimore City? The reason I gave the
address in the census where I found Lida or Lizzie Stewart is because maybe
someone
would know something about the area she was living in.
Was there any orphan homes in the area?

In a copied letter i have Thomas N. Stewart recieved a postal from his
sister
in Baltimore in the summer of 1906 saying that he had to come home that his
cousin was very sick and Thomas mentions that he hasn't seen his sister in
35
years. He was in the Soldiers and Sailors Home in Erie, Pa. at the time.

I am looking for any information about my family. I am looking for the
parents names of Thomas and Lizzie Stewart. I am looking for the death date
and
any
information on Lizzie Stewart.

Maybe someone out there can help or has information.
I am running out of leads on my family.

Thanks in advance,
Kim
