If information you sent me is not posted below, please email it to me again. The e-mail addresses below were posted in order to help descendants of members of Longtown Presbyterian Church contact one another, and will be removed upon request.

STEWART http://www.geocities.com/stewartancestry/

  1. If the Stewart tradition that they were friends and neighbors of the White family before they left Ireland is true, they came from near Broughshane, County Antrim, Ireland (according to a 1968 book about the White family). Broughshane is in the Valley of the Braid, the region of Northern Ireland which is most Scottish in speech and custom.
  2. A descendant still owns some of the Stewarts' 150 acres Royal Land Grant, which is located in Chester County on Stover Creek just north of the Fairfield County line (about a mile west of Hebron Chruch)
  3. Many Stewart descendants still live in Chester County, eg. Larry Stewart is well known and works for State Farm automobile insurance in Chester. Mack Stewart also sells insurance in Chester.

WALKER

Stewart: I think I remember reading names of a Walker family on tombstones or on a Revolutionary War monument at Old Catholic Presbyterian Chuch, which is in Chester County a few miles north of the Fairfield County line about 8 miles west of Great Falls, SC. Joseph Sullivan [email protected] might be a descendant of Walkers on the Earl of Donegal ship list - John WALKER, Elizabeth WALKER, Andrew, Thomas, Jane, and Mary. His notes have listed "James" instead of "John", but his wife was Elizabeth WYLIE, and later in this country, their dau Jane married a William McMillan. They came from Antrim County Ireland.

From http://www.albion.com/netiquette/book/0963702513p61.html - NEVER TYPE YOUR NOTES IN ALL CAPS, LIKE THIS. It's rude -- like shouting constantly. And, like constant shouting, it makes people stop listening. All caps may be used, IN MODERATION, for emphasis.
