STEWART families in Donegal
« on: Saturday 28 July 07 10:38 UTC (UK) »
I should welcome communicating with anyone who is also researching the STEWART families who came to Ireland in the early 1600s during the Plantation and went west to lands in Donegal. In particular, the Stewarts who went to Ards near Dunfanaghy, to Horn Head in the same area, and to Ramelton.

I was in Ramelton Genealogy Centre a week ago and they are hosting an exhibition on the history of Ramelton which includes reference to the Stewart family who were prominent in the growth of the town and area.
I have also visited Kilmacrennan Presbyterian Church which is near Milford. From memory  there are gravestones in the name of Stewart in the attached graveyard.

I am not investigating the Stewart family myself so I did not take too much notice - hope this is some help

Thank you, Jnws, for your information about the exhibition in Ramelton. I know the place well and was there in April, but alas I am now far from that pleasant area. However, I take note of your point and may well reach people there I know if not away on holiday! Your other point about the Presbyterian church is a useful reminder, as I tend to think of the Stewarts of Donegal as in the Church of Ireland. Thanks again. Alex

Yes, I have seen it, John. Thanks for noting it: I will have another careful look at the Stewarts mentioned.
