General Notes: Husband - William Stewart

---

He was born in County Dublin, Ireland, and there grew to manhood. He married, with their daughter Martha, they left their native country for America, landing at Baltimore, Maryland. Coming overland to Pittsburgh through the Allegheny mountains with a four-horse team, they made a settlement in Westmoreland County, near Perrysville, where Mr: Stewart was engaged in farming for five years. Then he crossed the Conemaugh river into Indiana County, locating in Blacklick township, where he bought the Porter Turner farm, a tract of seventy-two acres on which stood a stone house and frame barn. There he settled down to farming and stock raising, and prospered so that he was able to buy another small tract, from the Lucas family. He had a fulling and carding mill on his farm, running them by water power except when the water was scarce, when he was obliged to use horse power, having a treadwheel. He continued to follow farming and milling all through his active life, and in his declining years was cared for by his son Robert.
He was a member and elder of the United Presbyterian Church of Jacksonville, and active in all the work of that congregation. In political opinion he was a Democrat.
