I am a patrilineal descendant of Rose and James STEWART (~1740-1829). They sailed from Belfast aboard the Earl of Donegal on October 2, 1767 and settled on a 150 acre royal land grant where Stover Creek intersects the Chester/Fairfield County line. Many of their descendants have lived in both counties. They were Presbyterians. None of their descendants owned slaves. A few are mulattoes. The most reliable way for you to determine whether or not you belong to this family is to order a Y-DNA37 test from www.FTDNA.com at 713-868-1438 Monday - Friday, 9A-6PM EST, 8A-5PM CST. This Stewart family descends from the High Stewards of Scotland, possibly via the first Duke of Albany. See http://www.hostmybb.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?p=2659&mforum=stewart#2659 .
