STEWART CLAN MAGAZINE
May 1950 Issue Vol. 27-28
SAMUEL STEWART (John), born abt. 1688 probably on Long Island; resided at Lewes Town, county seat & important shipping point at that time on Delaware bay On May 29, 1711, Samuel Stewart of Lewes Town, son & heir of Dr. John Stewart, late of Shrewsbury, Monmouth Co., N.J. sold some of his late father's land in Monmouth Co. to John Pearce, yeoman, of Freehold township in the same Co. Samue got a warrant Mar 14, 1714-5 from the land office in Philadelphia (at the same time Thomas Davock got a warrant) for 200 acres of land in Sussex Co. This land was located on the east side of Hessing Branch, one of the branches of Mispillion Creek, near the Sussex-Kent county line.
Samuel was named in the will of his stepfather, Thomas Davock, Jan. 27, 1718. H and Thomas Groves witnessed 7 Feb. 1726-7 a deed by William Stewart & wife Mary to John Hall, land in a fork of Pemberton's branch. Samuel Stewart, yeoman, bought Nov. 1, 1729 of Zachariah Gofforth & wife Elizabeth of Kent county 224 acres of land on Cypress branch, one of the branches of the Broad kill. Samuel Stewart sold this farm Feb. 3, 1729-30 to Robert Craven prior to moving.
I have no idea when Samuel I died. On Nov. 6, 1780 his 210 acre tract on Herring branch in Cedar Creek hundred was sold by JOHN STEWART OF KENT COUNTY William Polk of Sussex County. JOHN STATED IN THIS DEED THAT THE TRACT WAS SURVEYED FOR SAMUEL ON JAN. 17, 1717-1718 UNDER A WARRANT DATED MAR. 15, 1714-5 AND THAT JOHN WAS NOW THE ONLY SURVIVING HEIR OF SAMUEL." The above information indicates the Samuel Stewart, son of Dr. John Stewart, MOVED TO KENT COUNTY, DELAWARE after he sold his land in Sussex Co., Delaware. Please note that the last piece of property he purchased in Sussex Co., Delaware was located on the Sussex-Kent Co. Border. This would be a logical conclusion that Samuel Stewart moved to Kent Co., Delaware where he probably died. Researcher: Joyce Lindstrom.
