One interesting thing to note, I believe this John Stewart may have been a part of the Phoenix privateering venture led by Carter Braxton. I hope this profile gets corrected. Thanks!
John Jaural Stewart (1734-1784)
Both profiles are using the same sources, birth and death dates as well as same spouse.
John and I share the same yDNA, according to family research.
You have forwarded the merge of this John with Stewart-11354 but I'm seeing some discrepancies yet unanswered. For one, there is no mention of a son Joseph Stewart in the Last Will & Testament included in this Bio. Another is the very different places and dates of death. And finally, this Bio mentions the Mother's name as Mary Penn but the person attached as his mother is Mary Bowman. Can we do a little clarifying with Sources before we assume these 2 to be one and the same? Once a merge is done it is nearly impossible to go back if further research proves them to have been 2 different people, and John Stewart is such a common name...
Mother has already been merged as exact matches were clear duplicates. Father's set to merge but some minor discrepancies to be resolved. But these 2 John's seem to be completely different people. It appears maybe one should be split off from the merged parents? Or should the Fathers be separated and one son go with each? Do we need a G2G discussion on this?
