Notes
SURNAME: For generations the surname of Samuel Stewart's wife, Lydia, ha
s been assumed to be Harrison. The Harrison family of Sussex Co., Delawa
re definitely moved to and settled in Augusta Co., Virginia. Since ther
e was an Isaiah Harrison and Samuel and Lydia named a son, Isaiah, many p
eople have assumed tha Lydia's maiden surname was Harrison. But there'
s no proof concerning this, except that she named a son, Isaiah. Researc
her: Joyce Lindstrom.
WILL: In the same year that Samuel made out his will, he passed away. O
n 11 January 1771, just three years later, Lydia made a will and as the r
ecords show she undoubtedly died almost immediately after making the will
, because the deat date and will date are shown on the record as the sam
e day. This probably isn't the case, but certainly she didn't live long a
fter she made the will. Samuel ha willed the specific property to his fou
r older sons and so in Lydia's will she willed specifically to the othe
r children, however, she did mention all the different ones in the will w
hich is as follows:
"In the name of God, Amen. I, Lydia Stewart of Rowan County in North Caro
lina, being weak of body, but of perfect mind and memory, thanks be give
n unto God, d dispose of my worldly estate as follows: I will that out o
f my estate, a list t be obtained for a certain tract of land on the sout
h side of the Yadkin River, adjoining Benjamin and James Herson's land, a
nd if such title can be obtained, to be sold and the sales thereof to b
e equally divided unto my beloved sons, David, Samuel, John, Joseph, an
d Isaiah Stewart.
Item: I give and bequeath unto my granddaughter, Lydia, the daughter o
f my son David, my bed and furniture there unto belonging.
Item: I give unto my son DAVID, my bed and furniture thereunto belonging
. Item: I give unto my son Benjamin an iron pot now in his possession.
Item: I give unto my son Joseph's daughter, Lydia, a heifer or a young c
ow.
Item: I bequeath unto my beloved sons, David, Samuel, Isaiah and John St
ewart, all the rest of my estate to be equally divided amongst them, an
d their heirs. do nominate and appoint my sons David Stewart and Samue
l Stewart executors of this, my last will and testament, Ratifying, allow
ing, and confirming this to b my Last Will and Testament and do utterly d
isannul all former wills by me made in testimony whereof I set my hand an
d seal. January 11, 1771." (Please note that Lydia Stewart made out he
r will stating she lived in Rowan County, North Carolina. Actually Surr
y Co, North Carolina was created from Rowan Co. in 1770.)
