Hello everyone,

My name is Adam Hammonds and I am the grandson of
Ben Stuart of the Stuarts of Buate (I may have misspelled that last one)
My wife Priscilla has been researching my grandfathers line for quite
some time now.
She has discovered that this line of Stuarts is filled with artistic history.
My grandfather ,my mother Mina Stuart ,and myself are all very artistic ,but
until recently I didn't know how far back it went.
The Stuarts common ancestor was Walter Fitzallan who was the High Stewart of
Scotland. Some of his descendants took the name of Stewart others took the name
of Allan. The first artist was David Allan (1744-1796) he painted Scottish scenes,
William Allan (1782-1850) became The High Artist of Scotland at that time.
It just keeps on going through the generations. If anyone would like to see my
artwork check out my site at http://brimstone33.webjump.com . I will soon be
putting a family arts page in with the artwork of all those just mentioned.

Have a good day,
Adam Hammonds
