General Notes: Husband - Samuel Stewart

---

He was born in the County Down, Ireland, and brought to Pennsylvania in the emigration of his father's family in 1735, and on arriving at age settled as a farmer in Hanover township, Lancaster County, about 1750. His warrant for one hundred acres of land was dated May 17, 1754, and assessed for the King's use, 1759. From the date of this settlement therein, in 1750, until 1764, this region was subject to Indian raids, from which the inhabitants suffered fearfully, and continued until the massacre in Lancaster of the Conestoga Indians, who were the aiders and abettors of these attacks. The historic meeting in Hanover township, June 14, 1774, as the earliest recorded movement toward independence, found faithful and active participants in the Scotch-Irish. Samuel Stewart entered as a private in Col. Timothy Green's battalion, June, 1776, in Capt. Rogers' company, destined for the camp in the Jerseys. On the erection and organization of the county of Dauphin he was on the first grand jury, composed of prominent citizens. He was a member of the old Hanover Church, eleven miles east of Harrisburg, the records of which show that on November 2, 1788, he and his wife were admitted to the Lord's Table.

He was a large man, weighing two hundred and thirty pounds, six feet in height, blue eyes and fair complexion.
