General Notes: Husband - Col. George Stewart
In 1776 he was serving in the Revolutionary War as major in the First Pennsylvania Battalion, James Crawford, colonel. Later he was lieutenant-colonel in the same until after 1780, when he was appointed colonel and continued to serve as such to the close of the war. He was in command of his regiment at the battle of Yorktown and other engagements. After the close of the war it appears he first moved to Washington or Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania (where children of first wife seem to have remained), but finally settled in Brooke County, Virginia, where he owned, lived, and died on a farm close to the Beaver County, Pennsylvania, line, in what later became Hancock County, West Virginia. This farm was later owned and occupied by R. G. Stewart (a grandson) and by "the Stewart brothers" (great-great-grandsons of the fifth generation), by descent through Samuel Stewart.
