General Notes: Husband - Galbraith Stewart

---

He was born in America, of Irish descent, and early evinced the economical and industrious traits of his people. He learned the blacksmith's trade, and secured a large tract of land, lying north of the present site of West Middletown, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and after his marriage erected a shop and the first cabin of what afterward became West Middletown. It was situated on the north side of the road, which was much traveled by emigrants for Ohio County, Virginia, this being for some time the only building in the neighborhood. Plenty of custom came to the pioneer smithy, and when her household duties were done Mrs. Stewart would work the bellows, while her husband mended a chain or forged a bolt for the broken wagon of some traveler. As time passed on the place became a stopping point for westward bound emigrants, and Mr. Stewart erected a more commodious building for the accommodation of travelers. The fire in the blacksmith shop died out as the labors of the tavern-keeper and his wife increased. Prosperity came to them, Mr. Stewart erected several other buildings, and the nucleus of West Middletown was formed. [CBRWC, 969]

He was named Galbraith in honor of his maternal grandmother, Rebecca Galbraith.

Eleven children were born to his marriage union, ten of whom reached maturity: three sons and seven daughters.

He was of Scotch ancestry, and came from Carlisle to West Middletown before 1789.
