Steward born in Prince William County, Virginia. He escaped from slavery in 1814 and settled in Rochester, New York, where he established a business (described as a meat market and general store). His account includes the six years (1831-1837) he spent in the Wilberforce Colony in Ontario, Canada, mostly as President of their Board of Managers.
