Scope and content
Letter from Dr. Harry C. Trimble to Fr. David Kelleher OFM Cap. requesting information on the Stewart family, the former owners of the Ards Estate. He writes:
'Several of my ancestors came to the United States from County Donegal more than a century ago. The maiden name of our great-grandmother was Jane Elizabeth Stewart. She was born about 1790 and was marked to William Wilkinson in County Donegal. … It has been suggested that our great-grandmother was related to the Stewarts of Ards'.
