STEWART FAMILY
The birth dates of this Stewart's children, coincide with the arrival of the Scottish slaves, shipped to the American colonies by the British, after the first Jacobite Rebellion.
The Stewart family probably originated near present-day Dinwiddie County since there were at least a dozen members of the family in that general area by 1730. No evidence has yet been located to indicate whether or not they were all related. There were several Stewart to Stewart marriages. William ("Sonkey") Stewart married Nancy, the daughter of Dr. Thomas Stewart of Dinwiddie County, about 1770, Doctor Stewart's brother James married Priscilla Stewart in Mecklenburg County in 1791, and a Thomas Stewart married the daughter of Peter Stewart before 1801 when he named her in his Chesterfield County will.
Dinwiddie was formed in 1752 from Prince George County which was formed in 1702 from Charles City County. All three are burned-record counties. However, the register of Bristol Parish from 1720-1789 contains records for Dinwiddie and Prince George counties, and the Prince George County court order books for the years 1710-1714 and 1737-1740 as well as wills and inventories for the years 1713-1728 have survived. These contain a number of references to mixed-race members of the Stewart family, but they also contain over thirty references to free, mixed-race people whose full names are not provided. One mixed-race child was called "a Moll. Boy named Wm" in 1725 when William Eaton petitioned the churchwardens of Bristol Parish to bind the child to him. He may have been identical to the "Mulatto Boy" William Stewart who was bound to Eaton by the churchwardens of Bristol Parish in 1739 [Chamberlayne, Bristol Parish Register, 24; Prince George County Orders 1737-40, 241].
