Luther Rawson Marsh/Jeannie E. Stewart

Since I first sent the email in 2011 about the Alvan Stewart family, I've been able to find more information on Alvan Stewart's children.  Jane "Jeannie" is the oldest daughter of Alvan Stewart and Keziah Holt Stewart.  It's through her influential father, that Jeannie meets her future husband Luther Rawson Marsh.

Luther Rawson Marsh met the Stewart family while they were living in Utica.  This was the point in Alvan's life where the the anti-slavery movement had become his passion and generated his writings on the subject. Both Alvan and Luther were lawyers by profession and used their contacts to promote the anti-slavery movement.

Our cousin Jeannie Stewart Marsh had a poem written about her by Mrs. Fanny Osgood:

Jeannie Marsh of Cherry Valley,
In whose name muses rally,
Of all the nine, none so divine,
As Jeannie Marsh of Cherry Valley.
A sylvan nymph of queenly grace,
A goddess she in form and feature,
The sweet expression of the place,
A dimple in the smile of nature.

In 1845, the Alvan Stewart family and the Marsh family move to New York City.  The two families live together on 15th street.  Jeannie Stewart and Luther Marsh have no children.  Our cousin Jeannie passes away in 1887 and her husband Luther then moves to Orange County,NY.  The Stewart and Marsh families are all buried in the Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn,NY.  While looking through the cemetery records, I located Jeannie's brother Alvan Stewart Jr who died in 1856.  The Stewart Clan Magazine provided information that Alvan Stewart Jr. has two sons, Alvan III and Douglas.
I haven't been bale to locate either son.
