Biography

Flora Stewart was born circa 1801, the daughter of John Stewart and his second wife, Elizabeth (Brown) McLean, of Chatham Head, New Brunswick^[1]

On Feb 2, 1825, she married Samuel Tingley, the son of Josiah Tingley, Jr and Mary Wheaton, who settled in Middle Sackville in Westmorland County^{[2] [3] [4] [5] [6]}. Their children included:

1. Josiah Edmond, born circa 1825, who contracted leprosy at age 19, in 1844^[2]
2. Mary, born circa 1827, who married Daniel Stewart^{[2] [7]}
3. John, born circa 1830, who contracted leprosy at age 15, in 1844^[2]
4. David, born circa 1832^{[2] [6]}
5. Elizabeth, born circa 1834^[6], who married Thomas Russell^[8]and James Fitzgerald^{[2] [4] [9]}
6. Samuel, born October 3, 1836^{[6] [2] [4]}
7. Alice, born 1838^{[6] [2] [4] [9] [10]}
8. Ann, born January 1843^{[6] [9] [11]}, who married William McCullam^{[2] [4]}

Tragedy struck this family when two sons contracted leprosy, after spending a year with their uncle Alexander Stuart, who was believed to have contracted the disease after lumbering in Tracadie^{[2] [12] [13]}. All three died of the disease.

Flora died before the 1861 Census^[14]
