Notes for Lucinda (Lucy) McKISSACK
***************************************************************************************************************************************************
This information is courtesy of: David McKissack
of Blacksburg, Va., email: turf1@vt.edu, from his
web site on FTM, March, 1999.
John McKissack's 1815 will refers to his
daughter as Lucy Stewart. A John Stewart signed receipts for her share
of John McKissack Sr's estate. There are many, many John Stewarts in Georgia
at during this time period. Circumstantial evidence indicates that Lucy
was the wife of John Stewart, however, and that this John was the son of
William and Mary Penn Stewart who moved to Georgia from Virginia.
***************************************************************************************************************************************************
Loose paper in estate of John McKissack's 1815
estate in 1823 a "Stewart Penn" signed for John Stewart's (Lucy Stewart's)
share of John McKissack's estate. We did not have time to research who
or what "Stewart Penn" might be. NOTE: Mary Penn married William Stewart.

Loose paper in 1815 estate of John McKissack —

The book Gone to Georgia
lists a John Stewart as the son of William and
Mary Penn Stewart, though there is no further informaton about John mentioned.
