General Notes: Husband - Vance Stewart

---

Hickory Twp, Mercer Co, PA

He came from the Emerald Isle and settled in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, thence he removed to Middlesex, Hickory Township, Mercer County, and engaged in farming there for some time before his marriage.

He emigrated with his parents from Ireland to Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, when he was about four years old.

In 1805 he and his wife, with one child, James, crossed the mountains on a pack horse, and located on a tract of land south of the site of Hickory Corners, in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. They were the parents of thirteen children, two of whom died in infancy. Of the remaining eleven, five sons and two daughters became heads of families. The parents resided all their days on the old homestead. They were members of the United Presbyterian Church, and died in that faith.
