« on: Tuesday 23 April 19 20:04 BST (UK) »
Thanks Skooch.
I am reasearching Robert Stewart, he is my 9th great-grandfather. I believe Robert was taken at Worcester and transported to
Boston on the John and Sarah, 1652.
I would like to know his origins. Any information woud be greatly appreciated.
Robert Stewart was on the John and Sarah, with Austin Stewart, Charles Stewart, Neile Stewart,
and William Stewart. I would be I would be interested in information on any of these men, as
they could possibly be related. Information on one could possibly lead to the origins of another.
There is no record of Robert Stewart of Norwalk, Conn. before 1660, entrys on wikitree, @https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Stuart-1883
and Geni @https://www.geni.com/people/Robert-Stewart/6000000001141513033, State: he was born 1625, and his parents are
Francis Stewart, Lord Stewart and Bothwell and Isabel Seton. From DNA of which I am no expert, those parents are not possible.
Others say he was born 1630. I have yet to find a record with his age. have found his death cert.

I have just received a DNA report, which, combined with my paper trail, indicates that I descend from Robert Stewart of
Milford/Norwalk. I think it is very possible that he came over on the John and Mary in 1651/1652. However, my Y-DNA
supposedly indicates that I descend from Sir John Stewart of Bonkyll (s781.org). If this is true, our Robert could not be
the son of Francis and Isobel. Of course this is tentative and difficult to prove, but as more data comes in, we may get a
clearer picture. If only Robert Stewart had uploaded his family tree!
