James Stewart in Ireland 1641-1662?
Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to confirm that James Stewart (born @ 1611) was in Ireland during the plantation period (1641 - 1662). It has been said he was in the Donegal area and was hidden during the uprising but had to flee. James married a woman we believed is Mary - could have married her while in Ireland. James had 5 sons James @ 1630, Hugh @ 1632, Daniel 2 1636, Alenader @ 1641 and William @ 1644. I am interested in all information regarding this family. I am especially interested in information from where James possibly came from and when (Scotland we have been told) as well as transportation information for himself and his sons to America (prison ships or what). There is a possiblility they were even indentured. I know for a fact that Daniel bought land in Barnstable, MA in 1662. I would like to find the puzzle pieces before then if possible. Would also like to know what happened to Mary - doesn't seem she made it to America.
Thank you for your help,
Cyndie
