General Notes: Husband - Lazarus Stewart

---

He was a native of the north of Ireland, and came to America in 1729, the same year locating on a tract of land "situate on Swahatawro creek," in what was then Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. This tract of three hundred acres was directed to be surveyed for him by the Proprietaries on the 6th of March, 1739. With the aid of two Redemptioners, whose passages were paid by him, he built within that and the two years following a house and barn, cleared twenty odd acres of arable land and planted an orchard.
After his death, his farm was a long time in dispute, owing to the fact that the warrant never having been issued, his son Lazarus took out a warrant for the same land. After the death of the first Lazarus' wife a suit was brought by William Stewart, eldest son of John Stewart, for the recovery of his share in his grandfather's estate. A distribution was made in 1785, from the record of which in the Orphans' Court proceedings we have the foundation of the genealogy herewith given. There is no information as to the name or the date of death of the first Lazarus Stewart's wife. They may have had other children.
