I'm not related to Henry
Stewart, but I do have a connection with the
Banning family.
The Stewart/Banning connection is as follows (hope I don't confuse you all)...a William
Stewart was married to Ann
Watkins in
Delaware and came to
Warren County in the mid-1850's. Ann was a sister of Allifair "
Allie" or "Alice" and also of my ancestor William
Watkins, father of Josiah
Watkins, who settled in
Warren County in 1865. Allifair was married to William
Banning and they came to
Warren County in the mid-1850's.
According to census records William
Stewart was born about 1800.
Does anyone know the connection between Henry
Stewart and William
Stewart? Was he a younger brother?
