"Drizztd" & Mary,
Wow - thanks for the contacts. I had given up on these lines! Below is
everything I have on the STEWART and BLAIR [BLAIZIE] out of Pike
(Indianapolis) and/or Knox (Vincennes) County(s) in Indiana. There are some
other surnames included as well. Would be grateful for any possible leads
and would love to make some connection!
Sorry I don't have more precise detail. What is below came from a
Stewart descendant's grade school project, but it was relayed directly by
family members so hopefully what is here is sound. Two things that seem to
make these lines somewhat unique is that the STEWARTs were suppose to have
come directly from Ireland (I understand that most Stewarts did not); and
the BLAIR surname change BLAIR from the French BLAIZIE coming out of
Missouri. The family member who provided this info has some wonderful
personal stories in here too.
Hoping again and thanks for the efforts! : )
