Lindsay and Stewart families in Hawai'i

Question

I wonder if anyone with Stewart or Lindsay lines traces any ancestors to Hawai'i. I discovered some names on papers left in furniture I purchased, I talked a bit with the seller, found some names on FamilySearch and using Google.  The names I have and would like to link to:

Robert M. Lindsay b. about 1885, Hawai'i, census information on FamilySearch

Margaret Stewart Lindsay b. 1893, Hawai'i. (fairly certain Stewart is LNAB) probably mixed race based on census information on FamilySearch

Alex Lindsay, Jr. working on a Sugar Plantation in 1893 (no idea of age or birthplace) (found him in a 1893 Polk Directory).

I am curious because of the furniture and our local history, would like to link to an existing family or, if I can build enough information, make profiles for these individuals.

Comments

Thanks, Chris for all your work on this.  This one is almost certainly the correct Robert M. Lindsay - because I know he began work at the sugar plant in 1921 or 1922, and I know one piece of furniture came from Scotland.
