General Notes: Husband - Matthias Stewart

---

In 1720 two brothers, Matthias and Lazarus Stewart, came from the Grampian Hills of Scotland with their parents and a colony of Scots, settling in eastern New Jersey. Matthias and Lazarus Stewart in 1762 settled in Pennsylvania, where the town of Little York is now located. They built a flouring mill, and Matthias became very prosperous, owning considerable land which by his will all went to his widow, who was a Miss Snyder, of German parentage.

He and his wife had four sons and three daughters. They were all educated in German schools. All settled in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, except John, who settled on the Muskingum, in Ohio, and Barbara, who married and remained at York, Pennsylvania.
