Alexander Canada Stewart was born on a ship coming from Scotland to Canada. Sometimes he used PA as his birthplace but he was born at sea. He homesteaded in Dotsero, CO and his grave is on the mountain side off I-70 in Dotsero. There is also a small cemetery on the side of I-70 that has their son John Washington Stewart, and a few other relatives. Alexander died of heart failure in 1886 in his bed. Alexander married Cynthia Ann Sollars on 23 May 1841. Cynthia was born 1822 in Ross County, Ohio to Azariah and Mary (Waggoner) Sollars. Cynthia died in 1896 in Council Grove, Kansas. Alexander and Cynthia had six children: 1. John Washington 5/8/1842 Eugene, IN - 4/29/1916 Dotsero, CO 2. James Armour 2/12/1844 Eugene, IN - 10/16/1916 Alta Vista, KS 3.

"Grandpa and Grandma (Alexander & Cynthia) were at Mama's (John Washington & Delsie Belle Stewart) house in the evening and Mama asked them to stay for supper. She was having new potatoes and peas creamed together, also corn bread. Grandpa was very fond of all of it. Grandpa said I'd sure like to stay but I've got to write to the girls, Fanny and Evaline. He says you'd better let us take Audra (Alexander & Cynthia's first grandchild) home with us, but Mama said no. So they went home. They lived across the Grand (Colorado) river. When they got home Grandpa got his writing material and started to write. An old fellow they both knew rode up and got off his horse and Grandpa stepped out and they sat down to talk. By the time they got through talking it was too late to write. Grandma was washing dishes so Grandpa said he was tired and was going to bed. Grandma finished the dishes and went in to go to bed. Grandpa wasn't asleep so they lay and talked a while. Grandpa gave a little cough and Grandma asked him something and he didn't answer. Grandma asked him again and he still didn't answer. She got up and lit a lamp and Grandpa was dead. So as there was no doctor within 50 miles or law of any kind, all they could do was bury him. He was the first person to be buried in Dotsero. There were 35 graves after he was buried. Men drowned, some froze to death, many blown up while they were building the railroad. Grandpa must have been awful tall because his grave is extra long. My assumption is Alexander & Cynthia came to Dotsero, CO years after their oldest son John Washington had homestead because the evening of his death he wanted to write letters back home to two of his daughter. Their cabin was somewhere across the Colorado River from John Washington' original. All I have of theirs in a old cooper dinner bell that belonged to Marry Waggoner, who gave it to her daughter Cynthia, gave it to Belle Martin Stewart (1st) generation daughter in law, who gave it Doris Stewart (2rd) generation daughter in law who then gave it to me Doris Stewart granddaughter in the 1970s'.
