!BIRTH:
J.T. Stewart lists birthdate as 1690
On 9-2-1704 Dr. John Stewart made a will with James Simpson,Samuel Knowles & Roger Corbett as witnesses. In his will, proved in court, in Sussex Co., DE on 1-13-1705, he listed as one of his children, David.
BIOGRAPHY: Researcher Joyce Lindstrom: David was born about 1692 in Hempstead Nassau, NY. He was underage in 1704 when his father made out his will. He died in 1718 as he left an inventory dated 25 Feb 1718/9 in Sussex Co., Del. According to his inventory, he had no cradle and only enough utensils for him t eat with. His inventory is that of a bachelor. David was a carpenter. He owned land, but I don't know what happened to his share of land he received fro his father unless he sold it to his brothers.
BIOGRAPHY: From the database of Mary Stewart Hicks: David Stewart was born in New York City about 1680 or shortly thereafter. He was the son of Dr. John Stewart and Elizabeth Alberti. Elizabeth was the daughter of Jan (John) Albert and Elizabeth Scudder. It is not known how long he and his parents lived in Ne York. We do know that he and his Father, Dr. John Stewart, still lived in New York in 1686 when his father was a witness to a land transaction between Adam Wright & William Buckler. This transaction was also witnessed by John Townsend & John Newman. John Townsend & Adam Wright were of the Townsend & Wright families that were also related to the Stewarts. Sometime before 1697 the family had moved to Monmouth Co., New Jersey, in the town of Shrewsbury. Shortly after the family arrived in Monmouth Co., his father (Dr. John Stewart) became the High Sheriff of the County. David was probably married (circa 1710) while he lived in New Jersey but the name of his wife is not know. Sometime after 1702, he and his father and their families moved to Sussex Co., Delaware, to the town of Lowe.
David's profession is generally thought to be a carpenter and he and his wife lived in Lowe, Delaware until his early death in 1719. It is generally presume that his wife had died sometime before his death in 1719. He probably did not leave a Will because his estate was administered on February 25, 1718 by his brother John and no mention is made of a wife. John asked the court to grant him letters of administration on David's estate, which the court granted. The names of David's children are not shown in the records extant. A valuation of his estate was made on May 10, 1719 by John Hall & William Darter, a neighbor o his mother and stepfather, Thomas Davock. This valuation and inventory was presented to the Court on May 11, 1719, and included 100 acres of land valued a 20 pounds, two-year old mare valued at 1 pount-25 shillings, saddle & bridle valued at 5 pounds and a sword valued at 2 shillings-sixpence. The estate totaled 38 pounds. It is supposed that none of his children were adults when he died and they were probably raised by his brother John or their mother's family He was probably buried in Sussex Co., Delaware.
