Wife of Charles Stewart (b. ca. 1725 -1730 Spotsylvania County, VA, d. November 15, 1807 Wake County, NC) of Cumberland (Harnett) County, NC and Wake County, NC.

According to family tradition, she was called "Johanna" and allegedly born in Wales. A Wake County, NC deed dated 1805 lists her simply as Hannah Stewart [Wake County, North Carolina Deed Book U, pp. 278-280].

Hannah Kirk was likely born in Virginia, in light of the recent genetic findings for her husband Charles Stewart. Y-DNA genetic testing now indicates that Charles Stewart (ca. 1725/1730 - 1807) originated from Spotsylvania County, VA, rather than Scotland. He was NOT the son of Rev. James Stewart and his wife Elizabeth Campbell of Wester Clunie, Perthshire, Scotland, as has been alleged by numerous researchers for many years.

Charles Stewart's likely parents were Charles Steward (b. ca. 1690-1700 King George County, VA, d. before June 5, 1750 Spotsylvania County, VA) and his wife Mary Proctor (b. ca. 1700 VA, d. after March 11, 1773 Spotsylvania County, VA) of Spotsylvania County, VA. Both Y-DNA and autosomal DNA support this conclusion.

Charles Steward (ca. 1690s - 1750; md. Mary Proctor) of Spotsylvania County, VA was the son of Charles Steward (b. [possibly February 25, 1656/57 Westbury-on-Severn, Gloucestershire, England], d. between June 19 - August 6, 1725 King George County, VA) and his wife Grace ____ (b. ca. 1672 VA, d. after April 1, 1726 King George County, VA) of King George County, VA.

While it still remains to be conclusively proven, Charles Steward (d. 1725, md. Grace ___) of King George County, VA may be identical with a Charles Steward who was transported by Timothy Stamp from Bristol, England to Lancaster County, VA on September 7, 1668 and indentured to William Ball on July 14, 1669 in Lancaster County, VA. It is also possible that he may have been the Charles Stewart who was born/christened February 25, 1656/57, son of Thomas Steward and his wife Joane of Westbury-on-Severn Parish, Gloucestershire, England.

Charles Stewart acquired considerable land on Neill's Creek in Cumberland (now Harnett) County, NC beginning as early as the 1760s. His lands were west/southwest of present day Angier in Harnett County. He later acquired land at Kennebec in southern Wake County just north of Angier, NC in 1800. Charles Stewart executed two deeds to his son James Stuart/Stewart in 1805.

The probable children of Charles Stewart and his wife Hannah Kirk, based on genetic, documentary, and circumstantial evidence, were: John Stewart (ca. 1750/1755 - 1844; md. Martha Blalock); Elizabeth Stewart (ca. 1750/1755 - after 1826; md. Reuben Clements); Charles Stewart (ca. 1750s - ca. 1843; md. Elizabeth Clements); Joseph Stewart (ca. 1760/1765 - 1820; md. Elizabeth Matthews); George Stewart (ca. 1760/1765 - 1831; md. Rebecca Utley); and James Stuart/Stewart (1775 - 1867; md. Mary Cutts).

Both Charles Stewart and his wife Hannah (Kirk) Stewart died at Kennebec, Wake County, NC. Charles Stewart died on November 15, 1807, and his wife Hannah died on January 1, 1823. Their death dates are derived from the family record of their son James Stuart/Stewart (1775 - 1867, md. Mary Cutts) of Kennebec, Wake County, NC. The family record was copied by LDS researcher Frances Baker of Salt Lake City, UT in the early 20th century. The whereabouts of this original family record today are unknown.

There is no grave marker for Charles Stewart and his wife Hannah Kirk. They are said to be buried in a field at Kennebec, Wake County, NC on the grounds of the Fuquay-Angier airfield. The alleged location of their graves was once marked by tree on the site, which is now gone.
