Stewart/Dixon Family of Ballymena
   
Posted by: nlywhite on August 02, 2010 at 09:17 PM

I'm seeking information concerning the Stewart Family of Antrim.  I'm related to Alexander Stewart b.1680, Ballymena (son of Robert Stewart and Jannett Rogers). Alexander married Margaret Dixon b. 1677, Ballymena (daughter of Robert Dixson b. 1630, Scotland and Priscilla Kennedy b. 1634, Antrim).

 

The children of Alexander and Margaret are:

Alexander b. 1700, Ballymena

John b. 1702, Ballymena

Margaret b. 1704, Ballymena

William A b. 1706, Ballymena

Thomas b. 1710, Ballymena

James b. 1715, Ballymena

Samuel b. 1719, Aboard ship in Atlantic.

 

The family emigrated sometime in 1719 and settled in New London/Haddam CT. I've found mention that Margaret's brothers also traveled with the Stewarts to America.  Would appreciate any information concerning either the Stewart or Dixon family.

 

Thank you
