The two (Alex was older by two years) immigrated to the US in 1872 when Duncan was 17 years old. Based on their account, the house was built at least as early as 1853, possibly before that time frame.

That is very interesting how the home used to be in Canada. Was it built in 1860 there or earlier do you know? Thanks for any information. brad1973https://www.blogger.com/profile/15484964422574687676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6395927118139603178.post-41645080853171975882015-04-22T00:18:06.833-07:002015-04-22T00:18:06.833-07:00Alexander Stewart was my Great Grand Fathers broth...Alexander Stewart was my Great Grand Fathers brother. They grew up in this house when it was in Argyle Nova Scotia, 1860 to 1879, then the boys migrated to United States to seek their fortunes. Alex went to Colorado to mine for gold in Leadville, sold his gold mine stake and moved to Escondido in mid 1880's. Alexander had the house in Nova Scotia dismantled after his parents died and had it shipped to California and reconstructed in 1890.

That a lot of violations. We're heading back to CA late next month, I need to see where we are in relation to Escondido. Would love to see some of the places you posted about.<br /><br />Been awhile since I've rounded from Traveling Suitcase, but trying visit today.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141251905909903805noreply@blogger.com
