Notes for Frances STEWART
She was a granddaughter of Walter Stewart, who died in April, 1778, and Margaret Andrew Stewart, who died Sept. 7, 1848, in her 38th year, the pioneer ancestors of the Stewarts who came to West Sadsbury Township, Chester County, in 1719 from County Derry, Ireland. Walter Stewart, in his will dated April 29, 1778, mentions his sons Andrew, James and Alexander, deceased, his two grandchildren, Walter and William, and his daughter-in-law Martha, wife of his son deceased, Alexander, who died in September, 1804. Walter Stewart was a farmer who lived on a large farm a mile north of Atglen borough, now in part of the Kauffman farm. He was a captain of one of the companies of a battalion of Continental troops that were ordered by Congress to be raised in Pennsylvania. Few men have the record for excellence of character that was possessed by Walter Stewart.
