========================================

Ebenezer Stewart (1791-1832)

Ebenezer Stewart was converted in early life and laboured as a local preacher until joining the itinerancy in 1812. His active ministry was spent in the Midlands and he had a particular interest in working with children. Stewart fell ill a month before he died on January 24 1832. His obituary makes reference to his numerous family.
