George Steuart

M, b. circa 1673, d. January 1733
  • Last Edited: 25 Feb 2019
  • Birth*: circa 1673; Ireland
  • Marriage*: say 1702; Principal=Jean (?)
  • Death*: January 1733; Donegal Township, Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania
  • Note*: 1 December 2018; The following is summarized from the book, "Colonel George Stewart and his wife Margaret Harris: Their Ancestors and Descendants." This book can be read online by looking it up in the familysearch.org catalog.

    George Stewart ... was an early settler in upper Chester county, Pennsylvania -- as early as 1717, or earlier -- occupying a farm in what is now Donegal [then part of Conestoga] township, Lancaster county [set off from Chester in 1729]. On Oct. 16, 1719, he received a warrant for 200 acres. His farm, however, comprised 357 acres. He was a justice of the peace, an innkeeper, one of the commissioners of the new county of Lancaster, which he and James Stewart were active in having established, and was a member of the provincial assembly at the time of his death in the winter of 1732-3. His will was dated Dec. 26, 1732, and proved Jan. 30, 1733. He appointed his wife Jean and his son John executors and named his daughters Elizabeth, wife of Samuel Fulton, Frances Davies, and Mary. To his son James he gave £ 10 "and by this cut him off from being any otherwise concerned in any part of my estate."1
  • Biography*: 16 December 2018; There is evidence that Margaret was a sister to George Steuart, and to John Steuart of Donegal Township. There is speculation that their father may have been Sir. Robert Stewart of county Donegal, Ireland. See the references to Stewart Clan Magazine.; Referenced Name=Margaret Steuart2

John Steuart of Mountjoy Township

M, b. say 1710
  • Last Edited: 15 Dec 2018
  • Name Variation: John Stewart of Mountjoy Township1
  • Birth*: say 17101
  • Marriage*: say 1733; Principal=Anne Anderson1
  • Note*: May 1958; Lazarus, born about 1714, has baffled family genealogiests for a hundred years. He is almost certainly the Lazarus Stewart who, with his wife Ann, deeded land in Hanover township, Lancaster [Dauphin] county, Pennsylvania, to Daniel Ludwig of Heidelberg township, Berks county, on Oct 21, 1779 [Deeds Z:302], for Ludwig was the man who finally acquired the interest of the other six children -- John, Peter, James, David, Margaret, and Mary -- in the homestead of old Lazarus. Old Lazarus, as you remember, with the help of his brother-in-law, George Steuart, in 1729, got a warrant for some 300 acres of land below the fork of Swatara creek. He never applied for a patent. But his son Lazarus did, and a patent for 363 acres was issued Oct. 20 1743. The chidlren had married and found homes of their own, excepting Lazarus, the younger, and there he was, nominally owner of the farm.

    A strange thing happened. John Stewart of Mountjoy township, Lancaster county, induced Lazarus to sell to him -- or Lazarus talked John into buying -- 100 acres off of the 363, leaving 263 acres. The deed was made Oct. 19, 1762. John assigned his title to Joseph Berkey on Nov. 4, 1763, probably not suspecting that it was "hot." It was about this time that Lazarus's eldest brother, John Stewart, died, and John's eldest son, William, petitioned the orphans' court of Lancaster county May 4, 1762, for the right to buy his father's real estate.

    So who was this John Stewart of Mountjoy township who came into the picture? Perhaps something can be learned from a letter written Nov. 12, 1880, from Fairchance, Fayette county, Pa., by Alfred Stewart, son of Abraham and grandson of John of Mountjoy, to his nephew David Shriver Stewart, Washington, D. C.:

    "My ancestors came from the Grampian Hills of Scotland, where 'Doon pours down her floods,' " Uncle Alfred stated, with rich poetic license, for Doon river is a long way from the Grampian hills.
    "About the year 1700 he emigrated in a colony from Scotland that settled in East Jersey. He had two sons, Mathias and Lazarus. They came to Pennsylvania in 1763 and, being good judges of land, settled at, or near, the city of Little York [York county] ... Lazarus Stewart was an outlaw. He was captain of a party who called themselves 'The Regulators' or 'Paxton [Paxtang] Boys'. Their business was to keep the Tories in subjection by robbing the rich ones and giving to the whigs.

    [A bit of historical correction is called for at this point. The Paxtang Rangers were organized to protect the settlers in the upcountry after the pious government at Philadelphia declined repeatedly to do it. Merchants in the safety of ships in the harbors were smuggling gunpowder and knives to the Indians, who used them to murder and scalp the wives and children of the pioneers. The fact that the upcountry men defied marshalls sent to arrest Stewart is enough to vindicate his charater.]

    A party of Indians who were supposed to have murdered some innocent whites were taken from the jail [at Lancaster] by Stewart's Regulators and hung, some five or six. A reward was offered for Stewart, dead or alive. He often came to my grandfather's, who was obliged to notify the sheriff to clear himself from the penalty of harboring an outlaw.

    My father has told me that he rode a fine large black horse, and when riding out he always put my father on behind as a kind of protection to prevent some unprincipled persons from shooting him for the sake of the rewards."

    Uncle Alfred's reminiscences, like several others, are not corroborated by public records. But they do tend to show that John Stewart of Mountjoy township belonged to the tribe of Lazarus. As for Matthias Stewart, he was probably Matthew, son of John of Mountjoy and uncle of Alfred. The name, like Abraham, evidently got into the Stewart family through the personality of John's German wife, who raised her children to be like her people. As to the Stewarts coming in a colony to New Jersey about 1700, that may be something to make hay with....
    -------------
    from Lew Griffin: George Edson, the editor, goes on to point out that John Stewart of Mountjoy was the brother of the James Stewart who married Margaret Stewart, sister of the elder Lazarus Stewart. Capt. Lazarus Stewart, of the Paxtang Rangers, was the son of James and Margaret, and so was the nephew of John Stewart of Mountjoy.; Principal=Lazarus Stewart Jr.2,3
