     Peggy (?) was born circa 1772 at Tahiti.1 She was the daughter of Tippaoo (?). She married George Stewart in 1789 at Tahiti.1 She died in 1791 at Tahiti.1
     From 1789, her married name became Stewart.1 Upon the capture and imprisonment of her husband (George Stewart) aboard the HMS Pandora, she brought their daughter to Captain Edwards, imploring the Captain to let them see Stewart. When he refused, she and her family and friends demonstrated by cutting themselves with knives and mourning. Finally, she was allowed to see him, and became so distressed that the crew had to pull her away and remove her forcibly from the ship. After his departure, she lived only a few months, and died of her grief.1

     Maria Charlotte De La Ascencion Stewart was born in 1790 at Tahiti.1 She was the daughter of George Stewart and Peggy (?).1 She married, firstly, George Washington Eayrs before 1806 at Tahiti.1 She married, secondly, Secundino Olivera on 19 October 1817 at Santa Barbara, California, U.S.A..1 She married, thirdly, George Rice circa 1834.1 She died on 30 September 1871 at Santa Barbara, California, U.S.A..1
     From before 1806, her married name became Eayrs.1 From 19 October 1817, her married name became Olivera.1 From circa 1834, her married name became Rice.1 As an orphaned child, she became rather a 'pet' in Tahiti. She was cared for by her elderly grandfather, a chief, and when the missionaries later arrived, they took charge of her. On his 2nd voyage, William Bligh noted, 'A fine child of about 12 months old was brought to me today, the daughter of George Stewart, Midshipman on the Bounty. It was a very pretty creature, but had been so exposed to the sun as to be little fairer than an Otaheitian.'
Life in Tahiti in those years was very violent, and when George-Washington Eayrs invited young Maria to join him on his ship, she saw it as a chance to escape the bloodshed. For 4 years, they travelled the Pacific until Eayrs arrest. Maria and their family were put ashore in San Diego when Eayrs went to plead his case, from which he never returned.1

     George Washington Eayrs married Maria Charlotte De La Ascencion Stewart, daughter of George Stewart and Peggy (?), before 1806 at Tahiti.1
     He was a young sea-captain from Boston. He arrived in Tahiti in 1808-9
on the frigate 'Mercury'. He was engaged in the sea otter trade, but
soon joined with Aleksandr Baranov in the lucrative contraband trade.
He invited young Maria Stewart to join him on board his ship, and they
sailed the Pacific for 4 years. On 2 Jun 1813, the 'Mercury' was seized
at Refugio Bay. He had been dealing goods to California, banned at the
time by Mexico who reserved that trade to themselves. The family was
placed under house arrest until 3 Sep 1813, when Maria and the children
were sent to San Diego while George returned to Mexico to plead his
case. He was never heard from again.1 He was Ship's Captain.1
