Does anyone have information on Duncan and Ann Stewart who lived in Rowley MA 1659-1729?

Question

Duncan Stewart captured at the Battle of Dunbar 1651, came to the colonies same year. Was indentured to George Hadley. Married Ann Winchurst in 1654. There is some question of Ann's maiden name, I have seen Winchurst, Winehurst and Winchester. I am a descendent through their son Samuel.
