Genealogy and biography of the descendants of Walter Stewart of Scotland: and of John Stewart, who came to America in 1718, and settled in Londonderry, N.H.

About the Book

One late writer once said: "Those who seem completely indifferent to their origins and call any interest in such matters a stupid weakness, are acting contrary to a strong principle of nature and assume that they have a pedigree that they are not proud of." The desire to learn more about my Stewart ancestors, their ancestry, and descendants led to this work. I heard many legends, among which was the story of our royal origins and that the heirs of the Stuarts in America were waiting for a huge fortune for water. Attempts have been made to trace the line in Scotland and Ireland but without definite results. All the evidence that we have been able to collect regarding traditional "royal blood" has been presented to the reader, and I leave him to form his own opinion, as I did... This category is about Memoirists who write about a range of events, or about a specific event, that took place during their lives, sometimes in the form of a diary. These events may have been momentous in history, or may have merely been recordings of everyday happenings in their lives, which gain interest as time passes. Sometimes memoirs describe a complete life. Memoirs include those of: Anna Green Winslow, Thomas Hill Green, Brooke Herford, Thomas Thomson, Thomas Minor, Samuel Hopkins Emery, William Wyon, and James Jackson Jr MD.
