Alexander, John's father, removed his family to America in 1758 before the Revolution. Also tradition has it that his oldest son John came to America before his father, around 1745, and was a clerk of the court of Lancaster Cty., PA. John was said to have changed the spelling of his surname Stuart for the better English Stewart. They resided in PA until about 1768 when they moved to York Dist., SC with the exception of John who stayed and raised his family in PA.

Alexander Stewart may have had several daughters and it is possible that there were more sons than are listed.
