William J. / John Charles Stewart Canada, NY, IA, NE, OK, KS
I have recently been tracking down my Stewart connections and have come to a dead end.My grandmother was Mary Elizabeth Stewart (b.1898 Hebron, Thayer Co.,NE, d. 1984Johnson Co.,KS), she was the daughter of John Charles Stewart (b. 1864 IA) and Minnie Lee (b. 1867 NE). John was the son of William J. Stewart, and depending on which census you believe, was born 1828 in Canada, his parents were both from Scotland.He married a Mary Jane Kimball(b. 1837 NY) in about 1853/4 and had 7 children - Walter, Belle, Lizzie (Elizabeth who married a Geo. Dunham), William, John Charles, Ella and Bertie.The first three were born in NY from 1854 to 1856, the rest were born in Iowa from 1858 to 1871.WJS's family were in Sabula, Jackson Co IA in 1870 Census and Kiowa, Thayer Co., NE in 1880 (minus Mary Jane who had died between 1871 and 1880).John Charles' family (WJS appears to have died in the late 1890's)was in Hebron, Thayer Co., NE in 1900, moved to Haskell, Muskogee Co., OK in 1902, were there in 1910, moved to Bryan, Okmulgee Co., OK in the 1920 Census and were in Pasco, Okmulgee Co., OK in the 1930 Census.John Charles died in OK in 1937 and his wife Minnnie died in 1958 in Johnson Co., KS.John Charles and Minnie had four children, Roscoe 1892, Mary 1898, Louis Lee 1902 and Thressa in 1908.I would appreciate any information on this familly.
