"Finley Stewart, Our Immigrant Progenitor and Some of His Progeny". by Mark Stewart and Virgil Spencer, 1992. Exact birth date has been recorded as January 2, 1741 in Baptism records in Killyleagh Presbyterian Church, County Down, Ireland.

Records from the internet (US and Int'l Marriage Records, 1560-1900) show that they were married in North Carolina: Name: Prudence Shaw Gender: female Birth Place: Ir Birth Year: 1742 Spouse Name: Finley Stewart Spouse Birth Place: Ir Spouse Birth Year: 1730 Marriage State: of NC

On Prudence's tombstone, a double stone with her husband, it is written, "Prudence Stewart, consort of Finley Stewart, d. 28 February 1821, 80 years and 2 months." This would make 1741 the accurate birth year, as opposed to the alternate records which say 1742.
