George S. STEUART
I also have a marriage of 1758. ( I took the Steuart book).This could also be Stewart. There's alot of spellings on this name. The obelisk to Captain Thomas Harris has "Some of the Family of Col. George Stewart". Listed below are: Capt. John Stewart; his wife Margaret Harris; Robert Steuart, Mary Steuart. The old Stuart farm was at Marietta, PA. Captain in the PA. Flying Camp during the Revolutionary War. Moved to Deer Creek, Maryland. Lived at Doyle's Mill after returning toTuscarora.

In 1797 he moved West, first to Nine Mile Run, Allegheny Co, PA (probably with his youngest sister Sutia and her husband), then onto Butler Co, PA., where in 1803, a Robert Stewart was taxed for 170 acres in Middlesex Township, Butler, PA. Between 1810 and 1812, he moved to Meyers' Run (or Turtle Creek), Allegheny, PA (about 12 miles out of Pittsburg), the family remained for only a short time before finally moving to Allegheny Township (afterwards City) on the northern side of the Allegheny river, opposite Pitturgh. 29 Sep 1814, he bought a lot on the NW corner of Federal and Diamond streets.

Her home was with her mother and her brother John at the old homestead. Died of Typhoid. Was reportedly engaged when she died. Died 8 days after her brother John, who also died of Typhoid.
Tombstone says 1790. Book says died between 13 Aug 1787 and 2 Oct 1790. IGI saysabt 1787. IGI has Stewart.
The birth date in her father's family records in illegible. It was changed at least once. The original may have been 1778, or 1776. It was changed to 1777. Thomas Harris's copy says 1776, John Harris Stewart ( a most careful genealogist) has 1777 and this is used. Appearance: medium height and weight. Religion: Presbyterian, at her death belonged to the First Church, Allegheny. Lived at Doyle's Mill with her family before her marriage. Saw George Washingtin at Shippensburg in 1794 when he was on his way to the western part of PA to suppress the Whiskey Insurrection. This must have been Oct. 11, 1794, when General Washington dined at the Branch Hotel in a place which was then owned by Capt. William Rippey, an uncle of the man she afterwards married. Died at her nephew's (John Harris Stewart) home. Buried besides her husband. Her tombstone had "Our mother - Satiah Murry- Died Sep. 2, 1857, in the 80th year of her age. This mortal must put on immortality." She outlived all of her brothers and sisters, the last whom died 21 years before. She outlived all of her children, most of who died of consumption.
