General Notes: Husband - Robert Stewart

---

During his younger years he taught twenty terms of school in Butler County, Pennsylvania, to which he came in boyhood, with his parents. Later, he engaged in farming on Muddy Creek, and in 1849 he bought the farm on which his son, Robert Walker, later resided. It contained 107 acres and was a wild tract of land at that time, covered with forests, and deer were plentiful. Being better educated than many of his neighbors, he was often offered local offices, and consented to serve as school director and township auditor, but when made a justice of the peace he declined the honor. He was a strong Whig in his political views. Both he and wife were active in the early religious movements in the township and he was one of the founders of the Middlesex Presbyterian Church, becoming a ruling elder in the same.
