"Next to Last" - Week 48 of the 52 Ancestors Challenge

ALAXIS STEWARD, my 4th Great-Grandfather, was the son of John and Abigail "Nabby" (Whitcomb) Steward, the "next to last" child born unto them in Canaan, Maine. His name can be seen in many records with numerous spellings, from Alaxus, to Alexis, Alaxses, Alexis, etc.

From the Canaan, Maine town records [Bk 1776-1883, pg 19: on Family Search], "Alaxus" can be seen near the bottom of list, born December 4th 1812.

The same list of children can be seen in the July 1924 Stewart Clan Magazine [link: Vol. 3, No. 1, pg 99] 

He married CHARLOTTE (HARNDEN) REED, the daughter of John and Lydia (Hersey) Harnden, and widow of Orrin Reed [Harnden also written as Harding, Harden, etc], at her home in Milburn. Intents were filed on 22 Jan 1835, and they were married on 10 March 1835 [see Skowhegan VR for early Milburn records, incl Book OR-1, pages 18 for intents and pg 31 for marriage].

​He is seen here in the 1840 Skowhegan, Somerset, Maine census, listed near his father John Steward. Some of the numbers likely belong to the Reed children of former widow Charlotte, as only Lydia and Thomas would have been born by 1840.

​They had the following known children, as seen in the Skowhegan census records, 1850-1870:
i. Lydia H. Steward, b.ca. 1836; d. 24 Apr 1904
ii. Thomas Steward, b. ca 1838; d. 22 Oct 1897 [bur Sunset Cem, North Anson: Find a Grave entry]
iii. Phineas P. Steward, b. 17 Mar 1841; d. 11 Dec 1911 [bur Wadena, MN: Find a Grave]
iv. Deborah B Steward, b. 3 Nov 1842; d. 6 Jan 1908; Marr William H White [bur Southside Cem, Skow]
v. Lucius Steward, b. 26 Aug 1844; d. 7 Nov 1900 ["Luceus" on grave: Find a Grave]

They lived in Skowhegan through the 1870 census, and then Alaxis and Charlotte, with sons Phineas and Lucius, went west and settled in Minnesota. Their story can be found here, in an earlier blog entry:
