4. JOHN, was b orn with ELIZABETH, October 20, 1707 according to
my notes, but by the Essex I nstitute Historical Collections he was
born in 1709, withno record of Elizabet h until her marriage. The
marriage intentions of John Stewart and Hannah Baile y were published
Nov. 10, 1732. She was born June 30, 1709, the daughter of Ca pt.
Jonathan. Bailey and his second wife, Sarah (Jewett.) On Feb. 16, 1735
Jo hn boys land in Rowley of his father, Ebenezer        Stuart. In
1737 he makes a deed to his brother Richard, in which both their names
are spelt with u, he styling himself John Stuart, Jr. He is then of
Rowley and mentions his father , Ebenezer. In a deed in 1744 he is a
husbandman, of Newbury, selling land in Rowley to his brother Richard,
again mentioning his father Ebenezer.
A death record in Rowley of "the wife of John Stewart, 16 Oct., 1752,"
is very likely of his wife, as in Newbury is a marriage record of
"John Steward and Mary Some rby, of Rowley, Dec. 12, 1753." John would
then be 44 or 46 years old. I get n o record of his death.
In the Newbury marriages after his removal to that plac e are these,
that may or may not be of his children:--Richard Stewart and Mary
Stickney, July 14, 1748, that are probably the parties making the
deed in 17 53, supposed by Mr. Haskins to be Ebenezer's Richard and
Mary Fisk; Moses Lull and Judith Steward, of Newbury, April 11, 1754;
Samuel Burrell and Sarah Stew ard, Dec. 23, 1754; James Smith and
Elizabeth Stewart, Dec. 15, 1757.
