About Alexander Stuart
http://www.chuckspeed.com/balquhidder/history/Robert_Stewart_Covena...
see this page http://www.chuckspeed.com/balquhidder/history/Robert_Stewart_Covena... which casts doubt on Robert Stewart being the father of Alexander
- #####################
Alexander came to Pennsylvania as a servant boy, and he later married Mary Baily circa 1708 in Chester County, Pennsylvania. In fact, the first known reference to Alexander is in a record of the Orphans Court Proceedings of 1697 (Futhey and Cope, pp.430-431), which include this entry:
“Francis Chadsey brought a boy whose name was Alexander Stewart,
who was adjudged to serve 8 years from Sept. 14 of last year to be
taught to read and write or else to serve but 7 years.”
That Alexander’s indentured servitude was arranged in the Orphans Court indicates that he was an orphan by 1697. That is a further indication that Alexander’s parents were not Robert the Covenanter and Janette Forsyth, because Robert died in 1714 and his widow was still alive circa 1750. Indeed, in 1697 Alexander still needed to be taught to read and write. It’s quite possible that he didn’t know who his birth parents were.
