Comments
“Y-DNA genetic testing now indicates that Charles Stewart (ca. 1725/30-1807) originated from Spotsylvania County, VA, rather than Scotland. He was NOT the son of Rev. James Stewart and his wife Elizabeth Campbell of Wester Clunie, Perthshire, Scotland, as has been alleged by numerous researchers for many years.”
“Charles Stewart's likely parents were Charles Steward (ca. 1690s-1750) and his wife Mary Proctor (ca. 1700-after 1773) of Spotsylvania County, VA. Both Y-DNA and autosomal DNA support this conclusion.”

As stated in previous postings, Charles Stewart (md. Hannah Kirk) of Harnett and Wake Counties, NC had no connection to this particular family in Scotland and Northern Ireland. This is a longstanding and popular genealogical theory which has no basis in fact. DNA testing has confirmed beyond virtually any doubt that Charles Stewart (md. Hannah Kirk) was the likely son of Charles Steward (d. 1750) and his wife Mary Proctor of Spotsylvania County, Virginia. In 2011, I co-sponsored a 67 marker y-chromosome DNA test for a known, proven descendant of this Virginia couple, and the gentleman was an almost perfect match with various descendants of Charles Stewart (md. Hannah Kirk) who have already been genetically tested. Charles Stewart (md. Hannah Kirk) originated in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, not Scotland. His probable father Charles Steward (md. Mary Proctor) died in 1750 in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, and his probable grandfather Charles Steward (md. Grace) died in 1725 in King George County, Virginia.
