Hello,
I've traced one of my lines to Thomas Stewart of Hancock County VA (now WVA). He is said to have been born in 1752. He was married, I don't know to who, and had at least 7 children (Joshua, William, Rachel, Catherine, Alexander, Margaret and Hannah). I also know that he and his family moved a bit, as some of their children were born in Beaver Co. PA.
These Stewarts eventually settled in OH. Thomas is said to be a Revolutionary War soldier, and that he was the first White settler in the Portage/Summit Co. area. He was, unfortunately, a squatter but resolved this by marrying his son Joshua into the legal land owners family, the Walkers. Shortly after coming to OH in the 1798-1802 timeframe, he disappears from census records, presumably either dying or returning to PA or VA.
If anyone has any solid information, it would be greatly appreciated.
Steve
