About Andrew Stewart, 1st Baron Castle Stuart

He did not marry his mother as was previously shown in Geni.

Biographical notes

In 1594 he took part in the Raid of Leith and, in 1597, became Warden of the West Marches. In 1608 he gave a dinner on board his ship for all the Hebridean chiefs, except Macleod and Macnell who mistrusted him, then kidnapped them and made them the King's prisoners.

In 1611 because of pecuniary embarrassment, he sold and resigned the Lordship of Ochiltree to his nearest heir male in Scotland and emigrated to Ireland. On 7 November 1619, as Baron Castle Stuart, he was created an Irish peer. He died in January 1628.

Hanover Twp, SECOND, Andrew b1698 to Paxtang Twp., Lancaster Co.in the 1730's, THIRD, Archibald b1695 to Chester Co., PA then moved to Paxtang Twp, Lancaster Co. by 1735. Two other siblings of Archibald settled in Augusta Co., Virginia and many lines of this family remained in Virginia for generations.

Before Andrew Stewart Baron of CastleStewart, they came from the Stewarts of Ochiltree, Scotland. The family line from Ochiltree to Donegal, Ireland/Ulster, from Andrew Stewart to George Stewart is given in citations in the Stewart family trees. Their fourth cousins, also coming from Andrew Stewart, Master of Ochiltree, Scotland, emigrated as well to Paxtang/S. Hanover/Drumore Townships, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, two in 1735 and the other siblings before 1730. They were Samuel and Lazarus Stewart from Dromore, County Down, Ireland/Ulster(Drumore was "named after Dromore (Irish: Droim Mór), County Down, Ireland, with which it has been twinned since 1996." from Wkipedia: Drumore). Samuel was one of the early settlers of Drumore Township, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and later he moved up to Paxtang/S. Hanover, Harrisburg. Lazarus settled in S. Hanover Township, Lancaster, PA very near the present-day Harrisburg, capital of Pennsylvania. Lazarus started the Old Hanover Presbyterian Church and was in the historic Paxtang Presbyterian Church by 1729 when they obtained their first pastor. Right in the middle between Old Hanover, Paxtang churches and Drumore Church was the earliest church and considered the "mother" church located in Donegal Township, Lancaster, PA. That was where George Stewart of the Stewart family settled after he immigrated from Donegal, Ireland/Ulster in the 1720's.
