Her will, made in 1801, states that she is of the 'town of Alexandria in the District of Columbia '; and refers to an indenture made by William Ramsay 8 Jan 1785; from which she has derived 16 pounds yearly as rent. (I have not examined the indenture-and probably should). She wills the rent money to James Montgomery Stewert, a son of Betty Stewert, daughter of the said William Ramsay.

Photocopy in possession Regina Barry. Stewart Megowan tells much of his life story in this application. Confirmation appears in several county histories and court records.

BIOGRAPHY: Capt. Stewart W. Megowan served in the U.S. Army during the War of 1812 and applied for a pension based on his services. He commanded a company of volunteers from Lexington, KY in Aug 1812, and another company, called the "Lexington Rifles" in 1812. The company suffered through a bitter winter in the North Western frontier, often without provisions. Stewart Megowan and his volunteers proceeded to Canada under the leadership of General Harrison, fighting in the battle of the Thames on Oct 5, 1813, where Tecumseh was slain. Captain Megowan was also present when Proctor's troops surrendered. Later in the war, he joined General Andrew Jacksons' army for the battle of New Orleans, 8 Jan 1815. When he arrived in New Orleans before this battle he and a riverboat captain called Twiggs beat the town for volunteers. Gen. Jackson put Twiggs & Megowan in charge of the custom house in New Orleans, and on the evening before the battle, General Jackson gave them leave to raise as many volunteers as possible to join the army. A group of five Dutch sailors who did not speak English volunteered to join his company, and were present at the victory. After the death of his second wife, he lived with his brother Thomas Megowan, and suffered very poor health; which he attributed to his exposure and hardships during the war.

NOTES:

RESEARCH: Oral tradition has given his father Philip Weigart and mother Christina Gradlil. Early records in Lexington KY suggest Geroge Weigart, hatmaker, was a resident there. A Philip Weigart appears in a census record; but family naming patterns suggest 'George' as a more likely candidate. Further research needed here.
