The Stewart Register and Genealogy Area

    The Stewart name was passed, like all surnames, through the male line from the time of Walter the third High Steward of Scotland, who adopted the Stewart name, the 't' probably reflecting the Scot's dialect.

    Not all Stewarts are from this line since, as with many surnames, those who were stewards in later centuries also took up the name, as also did a number of tinker families.

    The Stewarts became a very broad section of the nobility of Scotland due to the patronage of the Stewart Kings, who came after David II. Hence the story of prominent Stewarts involves the history of the nation, a large body of heraldry and a basis for those with the Stewart name to link their own family history to.

    For over a century, The Stewart Society has provided a forum for preserving Stewart information through financial, material and intellectual contributions. In this section, we are collecting the basic trunk and branches of the descendants of Walter, first High Steward, their heraldry and titles, where relevant, and items of genealogicial research extending the tree in specific directions.

    The Society is not staffed to do Genealogical Research but would like to help connect people through these pages, where appropriate.

    This is a  farm by farm census collected by David Stewart of Garth.

 

Private Research

    We also received from Laura Ackermann a document about descent from Dr John STEWART born 1625 (either in Scotland or in Newtown, Long Island USA) d. prob Dec 1704

    "Do you have means to search for Stewarts that were in America in 1625 (below Dr. John Stewart) ??? I would like to trace him further back to when either he or his family came from Scotland and family ties as far back as possible"

    If you know about this then contact Laura Ackermann,
