1.  JOHN2 STEWARD  (JOHN1 STEWART) was born Abt. 1534 in Pateshull, Northamptonshire, England, and died Aug 1, 1577.  John married an UNKNOWN woman with whom he had three children. He later married JANE PIGGE Nov 7, 1577, daughter of HUGH PIGGE and MISS CHRISTMAS.  She was born Abt. 1517 in Floor, Northamptonshire, England, and died Feb 26, 1591 in Pateshull, Northamptonshire, England.Notes for JOHN STEWARD:PROLOGUE NOTES FOR THE ENGLISH STEWARDS:Note Well:  The name of the village where our Stewards derive has been spelled in various records as POTESHULL, PATESHULL, and recently PATTISHALL.  However, in the probate records for "our" Stewards, the "Pattishall" spelling is used -- and all are located in Northamptonshire County, England, abbreviated as "Northants."I am currently researching the Pateshull ancestors from 1534 to 1641.  According to the LDS, the Steward records are all located in Northamptonshire, including christening, marriage, and death records.The first item of note is that Pateshull was named after the Pateshull family who built their manor home in a small town called NORTH CRAWLEY in Northamptonshire.  It is a small rural farming town which is proud of his heritage and offers a walking tour of the village, including the grounds of Pateshull Manor where the Pateshulls enjoyed their moat and fishponds on a rise overlooking Chicheley.  There is only one church, St. Firmins.  Their online website statesNorth Crawley is one of those parishes where a complicated system of land ownership over the years has ensured that the pattern of small hedged fields close to the village centre has survived almost intact since 1773.

Thus, Elizabeth was always in need of loyal men who would fight for their Queen and country. More About NICHOLAS STEWARD:Christening: Jul 17, 1561, Pateshull, Northamptonshire, England Notes for ANNE MADDOX:AFN:1X2V-S64        Children of NICHOLAS STEWARD and ANNE MADDOX are:3.                i.    GEORGE4 STEWARD, b. 1591; d. 1641, Pateshull, Northamptonshire, England.                  ii.    JOHN STEWARD, b. 1593, Pateshull, Northamptonshire, England.

 4.  JOHN5 STEWARD, SR. (GEORGE4, NICHOLAS3, JOHN2, JOHN1 STEWART) was born 1634 in Pateshull, Northamptonshire, England, and died Jun 30, 1706 in Henrico Co., VA.  He married DOROTHY UNKNOWN.  She was born Abt. 1645 in Pateshull, Northamptonshire, England, and died Aft. 1714. Notes for JOHN STEWARD, SR.:See Steward Clan Magazine, Tome E, Vol. XXI, No. 1, July, 1943 for linage and date of death.  Date of birth as well as mention of his children and wife can be found in the LDS AFN:1X2V-PTJ.  See also page 74, tome D, for his son, John Steward.

Page 5: 1534 Steward to Stuart

 John Steward was born in Pateshull, Northants, England where he was christened Jan. 6, 1634.  His LSD no. is AFN:1X2V-PTJ.  He married Dorothy Unknown who is listed as AFN: 1X2V-PVQ, having also been born in Pateshull abt. 1638, her age being disputed by deposition she gave, when she stated she was born in 1645.  Between 1669 and the beginning of 1672, John and Dorothy emmigrated with their children, Sarah, John, Daniel, and Miss Steward, to Virginia. John is documented to be in Virginia as early as 1672, for on 15 March 1672, John Stuard was granted 600 acres, 3 roods, and 3 poles of land in Henrico County, VA, on the north side of the Appomattox River "beginning at a great branch of ye Ashen swamp," adjoining the lands of William Walthall's heirs, John Puckett, "a place called 'Cowpens' now in possession of Thomas Ligon, sr, extending to the Powhottan path." Ashen Swamp is apparently the place where Swift Creek flows into the Appomattox River in Chesterfield County (set off from Henrico County in 1749) at Port Walthall. John got this headright grant for having transported 12 persons into the colony (50 acres for each immigrant), and these persons were (as well as can determined from the antiquated writing) Sanders Dason, John Herress, Esam Dison, Henry Paine, William Pattison, Will Ward, Richard Moore, Martha Benn, Elizabeth Irving, John Renolds, Mary Armstid, and Christopher Webb. [land grants 6:446]. For "transporting" 12 persons to the new world, John was granted 600 acres of land because the British Parliament and the Virginia Land Co had provided that any person who transported another across the sea would be granted 50 acres of VA land per head, hence, the grant was called a "headright."  According to genealogist and author, Paul Drake, when the ship arrived here with the new "indentured servants," an additional profit could be turned for their terms of service.  Here's the math:  it cost approximately 10 pounds per head for transport, plus food and shelter in England while transportees awaited til the ship filled up and sailed.  The tranporter got land plus money for the contracts of service.  And, of course, skilled laborers, sold for more than inexperienced day laborers. This land grant was confirmed 20 April 1685 when John Steward, sr., was given 70 additional acres adjoining his original 600 acres extending to Charles Featherston's corner - for importing two person into the colony.  [land grants 7:450].  This parcel was in Bristol Parish which later became Henrico, then Dale County.  William Walthall, merchant, was granted on 4 October 1657, 600 acres on the Ashen Swamp and the patent was renewed 18 March 1662/3 "and by him deserted" and John Stewart, Jr. obtained a patent 2 May 1705 to part of Walthall's land - resulting in a lawsuit.  In the dispute several neighbors gave deposition that the land seated 37 years ago in John Stewart - which would have been in 1675. [court records 5:159]. The old records for Henrico, Chesterfield, and Amelia Counties, VA, are now on microfilm in Richmond, VA, including a deposition given Dec 10, 1677, where John Steward gave his age as 45, or born in 1632.  On Nov. 30, 1677, Dorothy Steward deposed that she was about 32 years old, or born about 1645. On Sept. 30, 1697, probably in order to circumvent probate, John Steward, Sr., conveyed to his sons, John, Jr. and Daniel the plantation on Ashen swamp, retaining a life estate for himself and his wife -- whereas in the conveyance John, Jr. stated, "I, John Steward, junr., for the natural love and affection I bare unto my brother Daniel Steward . . . be and with the good will, direction, order and appointment of my dear honored father John Steward, senr., "give to Daniel a part of the plantation then in our father's possession, "beginning at the corner tree on William Walthall's line . . . To have and to hold . . . from the day of the death of my dear father and Dorothy his wife, my dear mother."  In short, John Sr. is keeping a life estate in the land for the lives of himself and his wife, then to his two sons, John Jr. and Daniel.  John Jr adds to the conveyance giving probably part or all of his share of the plantation to Daniel.  Note:  I need to see this deed because I am getting this information second hand and although life estates originated in England, I have never seen one where two different grants were made by two different people in the same conveyance! About three years earlier, on Oct. 22, 1694, John Steward, Sr., for " ye good will & love I bear to my son-in-law William Fraiser and Sarah my daughter, the wife of said William," a parcel of land at Ashen swamp. In return John Steward, Sr. was to receive "one good bowl of punch" (liquor].  John Steward, Sr. died in 1706 at the age of 74.  An inventory of his estate was taken on Oct. 24, 1706, and valued at 19,008 pounds of tobacco, presented in court by his

Generation No. 5 

5.  JOHN6 STEWART, JR. (JOHN5 STEWARD, SR., GEORGE4, NICHOLAS3, JOHN2, JOHN1 STEWART) was born Abt. 1663 in Henrico Co., VA [see notes]], and died Bef. Aug 2, 1714 in Henrico Co., VA.  He married MICHAL BALLOW Abt. 1700.  She was born Abt. 1686 in Henrico Co., VA, and died Bef. Jul 1719 in Henrico Co., VA. Notes for JOHN STEWART, JR.:I believe that John Stewart, Steward, etc., was born in Pateshull, Northants, England, rather than what is often inaccurately reported, i.e., that he was born in Henrico Co., VA.  John's older sister Sarah and his other two siblings, Daniel and Miss Stewart, who was born after him were all born in Pateshull, as were his parents.  This is documented in the LSD at AFN:1PGJ-B0T. Also known as John STUARD Junr., he was granted letters of administration of his mother-in-law's estate, Dorothy BALLEW.  See Nov. 1 1701, Henrico Cty VA Deeds p. 279 In 1707, John was the defendant in a Trespass Upon the Case suit brought by Daniel Stewart [who is probably John's brother]. John probably won the case but was ordered to pay his witnesses, Katherine and Leonard Ballowe, John Pride, and Anne and Richard Holmes. Source: Henrico Co. VA Order Book 1707-1709, pg. 28 and see pg. 33 where he had to pay Chas Ballowe. On Aug. 20, 1707, John had to post a bond with the court for the estate property he was holding for the orphan WILLIAM BALLOWE.  Source: Henrico Co. VA Orphans Court 1677-1739. pg. 49. In March of 1712, John got into a court battle with Arthur Mosley who owned land suitable for a mill on one side of Cornelius's Creek and according to law, was entitled to have the acre on the other side of the creek awarded to him.  This land was owned by William Ballowe.  John appeared and asked the court to refuse the petition because he was going to built a mill and already owned land on both sides of the creek.  Source:  Herico Co. VA Records (Orders) 1710-1714, pg. 222. The is the last Will of JOHN STEWART "of Henrico County" who was born about 1663.  The will was dated April 25, 1714.  It was admited was accepted by the court on August 2, 1714 and his wife, Michal, was named executrix. I.

Page 11: 1534 Steward to Stuart

Daniel and his siblings are listed in the LDS.  His reference no. is AFN:1X2V-PX5 and is shown being born in Pateshull, Northants, England in 1670, which concurs with his own deposition given in Henrico Co., VA.  See also "History of Henrico Parish," 1904, by Rev. L. W. Burton, to be found in the Richmond public library. In addition to various documents which mention Daniel (to be found in in the notes of John Steward, Sr. and John Jr.], in a deposition made March 31, 1698, Daniel gave his age as 28, or born in 1670.  He was granted a license to marry Elizabeth Farlee, December 1698, recorded in court at Varina [the then county seat of Henrico], in April 1699, according to "Extracts from the Records of Henrico County, Virginia, 1677-1771" by Stanard. Amelia County, Virginia Deeds, Wills, and Court records have been published in book form by Gibson Jefferson McConnaughey and Bel Hubbard Wise, 1735 until 1786.  Daniel Stewart of Henrico County was granted on Aug. 17, 1733, 396 acres in Prince George County near Flat Creek and on both sides of Neal's Branch, Henrico County Land Grant Book 15.  This tract of land became a part of Amelia County, VA when that county was created in 1734. Daniel is mentioned also in the Virginia Land Patent Books which were reprinted by the Virginia Genealogical Society Quarterly over a several year period and are now available on Ancestry.com. HENRY FARLEY, 318a, Amelia Co., upperside of Flatt Cr., and lower side of May's Br. adj Wm.

 7.  JOHN7 STEWART (DANIEL6 STEWARD, JOHN5, GEORGE4, NICHOLAS3, JOHN2, JOHN1 STEWART) was born Abt. 1700 in Henrico Co., VA, and died Abt. 1777 in Amelia Co., VA.  He married MARY BOWMAN 1722 in Henrico Co., VA (Source: 1607-1800 Marriages of Virginia Residences, Dorothy Wulfeck, Genealogical Publishinig Co., Baltimore, 1986, 157, "Stuart, John m. 1722 Mary Bowman, dau. of Edward, Henrico, p 229."), daughter of EDWARD BOWMAN.  She was born Abt. 1701 in Henrico Co. VA, and died Bef. Sep 3, 1779. Notes for JOHN STEWART:John Stewart was born about 1700, and according to Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome E, Vol. XXI, Sept. 1943, he was born in Bristol [later called Dale] parish, Henrico [later called Chesterfield] county.  He inherited his father's (Daniel] part of the Ashen Swamp plantation and increased its acreage [see notes for John Stuart b. 1634 in Pateshull]. John married Mary Bowman in 1722.  She was the daughter of Edward Bowman, according to "The Annals and History of Henrico Parish, Diocese of Virginia," by Moore [1904].  "Henrico County, Virginia Wills Addenda," by Weisiger, says, "On petition of John Stewart, setting forth that he married Mary, Daughter of Edward Bowman, Dec'd, who in his lifetime gave Mary 1 feather bed, prays the executors deliver same," Oct Court, Oct. 1. 1722. On Jan. 30, 1745, Joseph Jackson sold for 18 pounds to John Stewart of Dale Parish, Henrico Co., VA, 100 acres on West Creek in Amelia Co., VA.  West Creek, running parallel with Deep Creek, is located in southern Amelia County, or what was then known as Nottoway Parish.  The present Namozine Road runs between the two creeks. This deed was witnessed by Ralph Jackson, Thomas Franklin, and Mark Jackson. On March 7, 1748, John Stewart of Henrico County sold to John Walthall 400 acres of Ashen Swamp, "being part of the patent to John Stewart, Sr. in 1685."  The deed recited the chain of title back to John Steward of Pateshull [born c. 1634] including the conveyance of this land to his brother Daniel [born c. 1670] and himself.  This is a most significant deed because it traces the descendancy of John [b.1634] to Daniel [b.  1670] to this John who married Mary Bowman. In 1749 Dale Parish in Henrico County fell into the new county of Chesterfield.  At this point in history, John moved his family to the newly formed Amelia County. On Aug. 18 1750, Field Jefferson sold to John Stewart of Dale Parish, Chesterfield County, VA, 300 acres in Amelia County, on a ridge between Deep Creek and West Creek.  John Stewart and wife Mary of Nottoway Parish, sold the 42 acre tract on West Creek that they had purchased from Joseph Jackson to Peter Dupee, Jr., Oct. 30, 1762 for 100 pounds. This deed was witnessed by William Whitworth and James Farley. John Stewart sold about half of the 300 acre tract purchased from Field Jackson to his son Charles Stewart for 75 pounds on Feb. 18. 1763, witnessed by Daniel Farley, John Stewart, Jr., and Littlebury Stewart.  This land lay "on ridges between West creek and Deep creek, near the Nottoway county line establish in 1789.   John Stewart made his will Jan. 13, 1777, in "the Parish of Nottoway in the County of Amelia in the colony of Virginia." witnessed by Joseph Jennings, Samuel Thomson [a lay Baptish minister in Nottoway, according to "The Baptists of Virginia, 1699-1926," by Ryland], and John Howson.  He appointed as executors his friend Daniel Farley and son Charles Stewart.  Son LittleBerry Stewart received "the plantation whereon I now live," 155 acres.  Wife Mary was to receive the negro servant, Peter. 

Page 13: 1534 Steward to Stuart

Sons John, Daniel, Charles and Littleberry were to receive their father's copper still.  The will also mentions daughters Obedience, Sarah, and Jane. John's estate was appraised Sept. 3, 1799.  The appraisers were John Howson, Joseph Jennings, and Henry Ferguson, Amelia County Will Book 2, pp. 325-326. Here is a verbatim transcript of John's Will, dated Jan. 13, 1777 and probated in 1779 which I have highlighted the various names: In the Name of God Amen   I JOHN STUART of the PARISH OF NOTTOWAY in the county of AMELIA in the colony of Virginiabeing in good health of body and of sound and disposing mindMemory and understanding thanks be given to God therefore &Calling to mind the Uncertainty of this Life and Knowing it isAppointed for all men once to die do therefore make ordain Nominate and Publish this to be my Last Will & Testamentin manner and form following that is to say first of all andPrincipally I give my Soul to Almighty God who gave itand my body I commit to the Earth to be buryd at the discretionof my executor herein after named and as to what worldlyEstate I have wherewith it hath pleased Almighty God to blessme with this life I give devise dispose of[f] & bequath[sic] asfollows, IMPRIMIS I give devise and bequeath unto my sonLittleberry Stewart all and Singular the Plantation whereonI now live together with the Lands and Premises thereto belongingContaining one hundred fifty five acres be the same more orLess and all improvements thereon, made with the ------?Members and Appuaterianess thereunto belonging to have &hold unto the said LITTLEBERRY STEWART, his heirs & asaignesForever and also one feather bed and the Furniture thereto belonging after the decease of marriage of my WIFE MARYItim I give devise and bequeath unto my son CHARLES STEWART and to his heirs and asaignes forever my negro fellow Peter ButMY SAID WIFE, MARY shall have the use & benefit of the said negro[sic]fellow during her natural life or her intermarriage with any Person after my decease but if my said wife shall then desire [page 326] To part with said negro fellow after my decease unto the (original?)CHARLES STUART then and in that case the said Charles shall payunto her during the aforesaid Term the Annual sum of fortyShillings Current money of VirginiaITIM I give devise and bequeath unto my DAUGHTERS OBEDIENCEone Feather bed and Furniture, ITIM I give devise and bequeathunto my FOUR SONS JOHN, CHARLES, DANIEL, AND LITTLEBERRYSTUART my Copper Mill and all her utensils & I devise andbequeath my waring appearel unto my said sons, JOHN & DANIELItim  I give devise and bequeath all the rest, residue and remainder of my Estate, which I devise may be Appraised, unto my WIFEMARY and my DAUGHTERS SARAH AND JANE  Lastly I order and Direct that my Executors herein after named may pay off anddischarge all my Just debts and Funeral Expences out of my EstateItim  I hereby Constitute Nominate & Appoint my Truly and wellBELOVED FRIEND DANIEL FARLEY and my SON CHARLES STEWART tobe Executors of this my Last Will and Testament hereby re

This idea is reinforced by what Cousin Romaine Pointdexer found on her 2004 research trip in the Chancery Index, March 17, 1785, John Stuart is exempted from taxes.  Note: this exemption was given to men who had fought in the Revolution and those with certain disabilites which may have included giving two sons up for the cause of independance.  Furthermore, Littleberry's son Edward Steward (his grandfather's spelling] was also a Revolutionary soldier, but by this time, he had moved to Rowan [Davie] County, according to his pension file S7617.  Littleberry's older brothers, John and Daniel, had moved during the war to Blackwater River in what would become Franklin County, VA, according to the Stewart Clan Magazine, Dec. 1943, written and researched by George Edson of Olathe, Kansas. Also, according to the Dec, 1943, Stewart Clan Magazine, John and his wife Mary were believed to have had two additional sons who died before John wrote his 1777 will.  They were Gilbert and William [see notes following their names in this report].  I personally am of the opinion that Gilbert was their son -- but not William.  Looking at William's will, I am unsettled by the fact, he didn't ask his siblings to look after his children in the event of his death -- but consigned them to the care of court appointed strangers.  This doesn't jib with the closely knit Stewart/Stuart traditions. When Cousin Romaine Pointdexter was researching the Stuart/Stewart holdings on Stewart's Creek in Henry Co. VA she visited the county courthouse, she came across the following references to John Stewart: In the Land Entries Romaine found: Feb 1781, John Stuart - 225 acres adjoining John Clay.17 Sep 1787, John Stuart 50 acres of Stewart's Creek. A Stewart (is this our Stuart?] was suing a MORGAN.  Is this, his son John Jr.'s father-in-law? Case started in March of 1784 and was continued to 03 Mar 1785. No first name was given for parties. August 8, 1783,  Adminstration of the estate of John Stewart 2nd is granted.  John Cox who made oath according to law and with Wm. Ryan, his security.  Mordecai Hord, John Barksdale, Price Martin and Baldwin Rowland appointed to appraise the estate. In 1785 a case entitled, Stewart vs. Patterson was continued. See also Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome E, Vol. XXI, Sept. 1943. Louise Fair Henderson, of Cleveland MS,[[email protected]] is researching our line, as indicated by the following linage she supplied to me: 1]  George Stewart m.

 Notes for GILBERT STEWART:Although there is no proof, Stewart Clan Magazine, Dec. 1943, presumes that Gilbert was the son of John Stewart and Mary Bowman. Gilbert was probably named after his uncle Gilbert Bowman, who was named as a son of Edward Bowman.  Gilbert appears to have died unmarried in Amelia County [wills, I: 136].  His estate was appraised in Aug. 1758.  The inventory included "a parcel of surgeon's instruments," indicating that he was perhaps a doctor, and also "one gold ring, a parcel of books, a book of sundry dregs, three fawn skins, slait & pencilsl, set buckles, penknife, fountain pen and 1 lancet, two snuff boxes, parcel of wearing clothes, bone, razor and strop, old saddle & bridle, and an old horse," altogether valued at 9 pounds, 2 shillings, and 3 pence.

 Notes for OBEDIENCE STEWART:Steward Clan Magazine, Tome E, Vol. XXI, Sept. 1943, relates that Obedience died unmarried, calling her an old maid and "Aunt Biddy."  Regardless of this epitaph, she was a kindly woman and ethically ahead of her time as witnessed by her will.  Although she was well provided for by her brother Charles in his will, Obedience executed her own last will and testament soon after Charles died, with John White, Richard White, and Jenny White as witnesses.  It was probated February 4, 1802 [wills, I: 479].  In her will she freed her negro woman named Dilcy and gave to Dilcy's husband who was a freedman named Julius "my negro boy Martin for his good service done me, together with half my stock cattle and pewter."  She gave the other half of her cattle and some negroes to her nephew Alexander Stewart, and gave her remaining negroes, her bed, and furniture to her favorite niece, Prudence Stewart.

Page 16: 1534 Steward to Stuart

 Notes for JOHN STUART, JR.:According to tax lists, grants, deeds and other records, it is surmised that John Sr. was born in 1729, in Amelia Co., VA.  Clan Stewart Magazine states that in 1775, John moved to Bedford [now Franklin] County, VA.  From 1778 through 1782 he appeared on the Tax Lists of Henry Co., VA.  According to the the NC State Census of 1784-1787 for Surry County John had moved to Surry Co. VA where he commissioned a land survey and deed which was recorded in 1793.  John died in Surry, NC in 1805, naming his his wife, Rachel, and his children in a transfer of land.  In a footnote in Stewart Clan Magazine, Oct. 1955, p. 119, the author states, "ABRAHAM HAWKS was adminstrator of the estate of John Stewart of Surry county, N.C., who died in March, 1807, =F:88". [presumably this date is an error]. John STUART paid a double tax on the Henry Co. VA 1778 Tax List because he refused to take the Oath of Affirmation to the State by Aug. 1, 1778.  This would indicate that John was NOT a Loyalist to the Crown.  There is also a John STEWART on this list as well as a William, James Jr. and Sr., and a Daniel Stewart. John Stewart Sr. and Jr. appeared on the the 1779 Henry Co. Tax List as did two other John Stewarts, a James Stewart, and James Sr. and Jr. On the 1780 Henry Co. Tax List, John Stewart appeared again, as did John Stewart, William Stewart, James Stuart, James Stewart Sr. and Jr., and a Murdock Stewart -- as well as John PACE and various PRATORS. On February 1, 1781, John obtained a grant of 225 acres (by survey dated Jan. 11, 1779) on the south side of Blackwater river, adjoining lands of Jesse Clay and Daniel Ward [land grants, D: 372] in Henry County.  It should be noted that this land became situated in Franklin County in 1786 when Franklin was created from parts of Henry and Bedford counties. On the 1782 Henry Co. Tax List, the list grouped various Stewarts together thusly:Charles STEWART             1 -David Stewart      1 -Murdock Stewart 1 -James Stewart Sr.                1 -James Stewart Jr. 1 -John Stewart Sr.   1 -John Stewart Jr.    1 -John Stewart         1 1John Stewart         1 -William Stewart   2 4John Stewart Sr. and Jr. should be my Stewarts On the NC State Census of 1784-1787 for Surry County,  a John STEWARD appears as a man over 60, living with three females which would be Rachel, his second wife, and two daughters, Nancy and  Susanna. April 5, 1793, Surry County, NC, Book 130, pp. 122-123, records a survey commissioned by JOHN STEWART of James Lane for 100 acres, and witnessed by John Carland and John Stewart, Jr.  The land is described as being on Naked Creek and waters of Stewarts Creek abutting John Hawks's line and that of Cornelius Keith's improvements.  Recorded July 7, 1794.  No. 1592, 85, page no. 33 on Naked Creek Note: According to Teresa, John Carlin showed up on the 1800 Greenville SC Census and one of his descendants say that his tombstone reads, "Born in 1750 PA.". As a curiosity, when "another" John Stewart applied for a Revolutionary War pension [see R10157, appl 16 Aug 1839, Davidson Co. NC], an Edward Stewart offered testimony that this John "was not his "cousin" John "Stuart" who lived in Amelia Co., VA some 160 miles from him during the Revolution."  See Genealogical Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pension Files by White. Notes for RACHEL UNKNOWN:

Page 17: 1534 Steward to Stuart

It is presumed that Rachel was a second wife and may have been the mother of Joseph and Susanna.  Particularly since the other children didn't seem to treat her well -- she had to petition the court for provisions when John died.  Furthermore, none of John's children named a child after Rachel. Romaine Pointdexte wrote "My remaining mind works in strange ways.  I was looking at this descendency chart today and thinking about people like Golly Stantliff, Gladys Blackburn, and Jerome Hawks.  When I was growing up, I knew they were relatives, but when I look at the chart I see that we connect way back at Nancy's son, Edward Hawks.  Therefore, we knew the ancestors--just nobody thought to talk about them.  Anyway, this brought on the thought that Nancy and Edward were probably close in age, as she named a son for her brother.   I find children are named for a brother more often than for a grandfather, no matter what the Scottish naming conventions were.  With this, I began to wonder if Rachel had a brother named Edward or Joseph or Nathaniel.  Bingo!  I'll bet you and Craig are right and she was a sister of Nathaniel Payne.  When her first son was born, she named him after that brother.  Besides, there must have been some connection, as he received her year's provisions.  I'm guessing the court handed it to her nearest male relative in the area." Teresa del Rios responded to Romaine, writing:  "Romaine, Abraham Hawks also had a son named Nathaniel with his 2nd wife Elizabth Payne.  Nathaniel Payne was David Payne and Molly Payne´s son.  I don´t know exactly when he was born, buit I dont think he was one of the first born children of David and Molly Payne."        Children of JOHN STUART and RACHEL UNKNOWN are:14.              i.    NATHANIEL9 STUART, SR., b. Abt. 1753, presumably Amelia Co., VA; d. Aft. 1812, Buncombe Co., NC.15.             ii.    EDWARD STEWARD, b. Abt. 1755, Presumably Amelia Co., VA; d.

 Notes for JOHN STUART, JR.:This is the oldest survey and deed is for John Stewart that I have. Although the survey was done for John Stewart, it was witnessed by John Stewart Jr. and John Carland.  The surveyor was James Lane.  The survey of 100 acres was signed April 5. 1793 and the deed recorded July 7, 1794.  No. 1592, 85, page no. 33 on Naked Creek, Surry Co., NC, the land being on Naked Creek and waters of Stewarts Creek abutting John Hawks's line and that of Cornelius Keith's improvements.

Page 18: 1534 Steward to Stuart

The following Amelia Co. deeds attest that Charles was a wealthy land owner who lacked the Stuart wander lust -- he was born, grew wealthy, and died in Amelia County. On Nov. 19, 1757, Charles bought from John Ellis and his wife Mary of Lunenburg County, 42 acres of land on the north side of Deep Creek, adjoining Higdon Robertson, Worshaw, and Wilson.  The deed was witnessed by Robert Cunningham, Daniel Farley, John Stewart, and Daniel Stewart [deeds, 6: 163]. Febuary 18, 1763, Charles bought of his father 150 acres on the ridges between Deep Creek and West Creek, adjoining Higdon Robertson, and the witnesses were Daniel Farley, John Stewart, and Littleberry Stewart. July 27, 1770, Charles Stewart of Nottoway parish, Amelia County, bought of Alexander Moore and his wife Ruth of Dale parish, Chesterfield county, 200 acres in Nottoway parish on both sides of Barebone branch [name later changed to Hamm's Creek] of West Creek, adjoining Richard Royall, Jr., William Jennings, James Oliver, and William Watson, and the witnesses were Theodore Vivian, John Jackson, and John Stuart. Charles made several other transactions which are repetitive and non-essential for tracking his family. Charles' will was executed on October 7, 1799 and probated September 3, 1801 [wills, I: 448].  It was witnessed by Daniel Verser, Thomas Morrris, and William Howson, and the executors were his friends, John Howson, Jr., Asa Davis, Stephen Dupuy, and William Farley.  To his wife, Rachel, he left during her widowhood their 325 acre home and the use of three slaves: Esther, Amy, and Frances.  He lent to his old maid sister, Obedience, (Aunt Biddy] during her lifetime, the 50 acres upon which she lived [the southeast part of a tract on Barebone Creek which he had purchased from Richard Royall on November 27, 1772] and lent her also a female slave, Dilcy.  Charles left his sons, Alexander and Charles, the land he bought from Richard Royal and Alexander Moore -- but they were not to sell it until Charles was 32 years old, or molest their aunt in the enjoyment of the 50 acres.  He gave his sons John and Daniel the remainder of his land, containing 325 acres, a division to be made when John was 21.  The rest of the estate was to be equally divided between all of his children.  At the time of his death all of his children were living. In 1802, Alexander and Charles sold some of the Barebone Creek parcel to Benjamin Ward and Joseph Jennings.  This was shortly after Aunt Biddy passed on to join her beloved brother, Charles.          Children of CHARLES STEWART and RACHEL UNKNOWN are:                   i.    ALEXANDER9 STEWART, b.

  10.  WILLIAM8 STEWART (JOHN7, DANIEL6 STEWARD, JOHN5, GEORGE4, NICHOLAS3, JOHN2, JOHN1 STEWART) was born Abt. 1735, and died Bet. 1774 - 1780 in Amelia Co., VA.  He married MARY UNKNOWN.  She died Nov 27, 1781 in Amelia Co., VA. Notes for WILLIAM STEWART:William Stewart, born about 1735, is believed to be the youngest son of John Stewart and Mary Bowman, as proposed by the Stewart Clan Magazine, Dec. 1943.  On Mar. 22, 1770, Thomas Hamm of Raleigh Parish, Amelia Co., sold to William of the same county, a tract of land on both sides of Chandler's Branch, adjacent to Christopher Fortd and James Chapell.  It should be noted that Chandler's Branch is a tributary to Flatt Creek as shown in a deed from Benjamin Ruffin to Christopher Ford dated Apr. 1, 1758, said deed also mentioned that the land of Daniel Stewart, dec'd ran adjacent to this Creek.  Old Daniel Stewart owned land on Neal's Branch.  The upper part of this tract included a section of Chandler's Branch, bordering Benjamin Ruffin.  Old Daniel's grandson, William Stewart, subsequently acquired land on Chandler's Branch in 1770. bordering James Chappell. According to both modern and old land patent maps, William Stewart's land was near what is today the hamlet of Paineville, VA, and that Daniel Stewart lived just south of where William lived.  These maps can be obtained from the Amalia Historical Society in Amelia, VA.  Neal's Branch today still flows into Flatt Creek, however Chandler's Branch appears to now be extinct.  On an 1820 map of Amelia Co., VA, the families shown still living in the area of Paineville were Ford, Chappel, and Seay. William Stewart died in 1774, pre-deceasing his parents.  His will is dated Aug. 5, 1774, in Amelia Co. Will Book 2.  The will names wife Mary, and children: John Stewart who was apparently named after his grandfather John, William Stewart, Edward Stewart, Salley Stewart, Charles Stewart, and Mary Stewart.  The witesses were William Ford and Thomas Whitworth. Executors were Thomas Whitworth, Sr. and Thomas Whitworth, Jr.  The land consisting of 174 acres, was to be equally divided between the wife and children once son John became 21 years old.  The Will reads in part: "one feather bed I give and bequeath to my beloved wife, it being the best bed I have . . . my gun be sold towards paying my debts and the support of my children."  William Stewart's mark was a circle with a line through the center. In a codocil to the will, dated Aug. 20, 1774, William Stewart had a witness write: "further my will, I desire that in case my executors should find that my children, any of them, are not brought up in a Christian-like, honest, and industrious way under their mother, that then my executors take them, or any of them, as they may see cause, or bind them to some trade to good honest people."  The codicil was witnessed by Christopher Ford. William Stewart's wife Mary Stewart died only a few years later.  On Nov. 24, 1780, "in her last sickness," she sent for Thomas Whitworth and stated her will to him.  She died Nov. 27th.  The will was proved Apr. 24, 1781, on oath of Thomas Whitworth before Christopher Ford, Amelia County Will Book 3.         Children of WILLIAM STEWART and MARY UNKNOWN are:                   i.    JOHN9 STEWART.                  ii.    WILLIAM STEWART, JR..                 iii.    EDWARD STEWART.                 iv.    SARAH "SALLEY" STEWART, m.

 Notes for SARAH "SALLEY" STEWART:Sarah "Salley" Stewart, daughter of William, married Robert Ferguson Apr. 23, 1789, witnessed by Milton Ford.  This Milton Fort was the sone of Christopher Ford, according to the Amelia County Will Book 4.

  11.  DANIEL8 STEWART (JOHN7, DANIEL6 STEWARD, JOHN5, GEORGE4, NICHOLAS3, JOHN2, JOHN1 STEWART) was born 1736, and died Bef. Aug 1758. Notes for DANIEL STEWART:Daniel Steward, b. in 1736, was probably named after his grandfather who was born in Pateshull, England.  Young Daniel was the son of John Stewart of Henrico Co. and Mary Bowman.  John, Daniel's father, didn't move his family to Amelia Co. until 1745 -- so Daniel was probably born in Henrico Co. VA. STEWART CLAN MAGAZINE OF JANUARY 1939, VOL. XVI, NO. 7 p31 states that "Daniel Stewart went from Amelia county to Bedford county in 1775."  On March 23, 1778, William Mead sold Daniel 160 acres on the Foxtrap branch, on the north side of Blackwater River, adjoining the land of Peter Blankenship [deeds, 6:29]. The Bedford Court, on Feb. 28, 1785, ordered that John Devers, Jesse Dillard, Daniel Stewart, and John Stewart, or any three of them, be appointed to view a way for a wagon road above Peter Holland's where John Devers road led off, the nearest and best way to Dillon's mill on Blackwater [court orders, 8: 101].  A year or so later this part of Bedford was put in the new county of Franklin.  There is a Daniel's Run Gap in western Franklin County and a Daniel's Run flowing from it into Blackwater River. On September 4, 1786, Daniel Stewart of Franklin county sold to Edmond Winston of Campbell county 430 acres which had been patented to him on Dec. 2, 1785, in Franklin "late Bedford" county [deeds, I: 61] Daniel apparently only had one child, John, who was born, according to Clan Stewart Magazine on Jan. 18, 1757.  It is presumed that Daniel's son, John, who was living in Orange County, NC and approaching senility, when he thought his dad was born in Amelia, Blandford or Bedford county, VA.  The Clan Stewart Magazine reported that Daniel was living in Bedford county during the Revolutionary war, when his son, John served as a soldier from Bedford. =D: 31, 117. Daniel evidently resettled in Rowan county, N.C., where he was enumerated 1-0-1 in the census of 1790.  On Aug. 7, 1793, he bought from Valentine Beard 119 1/4 acres on the north bank of Reedy creek, on Jonas Leatherman's line.  He sold this tract Nov. 19, 1807, to Jonas Leatherman.  This land lay in Davidson county after 1822. Daniel and his son, John were listed in the following tax list: 1790 North Carolina Salisbury District, Rowan County. page 328Daniel Stuart1 Free white male of 16 years and upward1 Free white female including heads of families John Stuart Jur. 1 Free white males of 16 years and upward0 Free white males under 16 years2 Free white females including heads of families 

Page 21: 1534 Steward to Stuart

Note:  I wonder how Epson came up with an exact date for John birth's in 1757.  Also note that these records and deeds often add a "Jr."  to John's name which creates a problem, inasmuch as, genealogists insist on John being Daniel's son.  Could this birth date be from his service records? Thanks to a new "cousin" [[email protected]] for the following deed abstracts from Rowan Co., NC, referring to Daniel and his son, John: Rowan County was formed in 1753 from Anson. It was named in honor of Matthew Rowan who was a prominent leader before the Revolution and who for a short time after the death of Governor Gabriel Johnston was acting governor. It is in the central section of the State and is bounded by Davidson, Stanly, Cabarrus, Iredell and Davie counties. Its present land area is 511.11 square miles and the 1990 population was 110,605. The county seat was first called Rowan Court House. It has been called Salisbury since about 1755.  DB 10: 539, 25 Sept 1784, States Grant # 760 77 Acres to Christian Leatherman on Reedy Creek adj Hugh & Joseph Cunningham, & Valentine Beard. DB 10: 70 , 4 Nov 1784, State Grant # 767, 150 Acres to Jonas Leatherman on Reedy Creek of Muddy Creek adj William Mitchell.

12.  LITTLEBERRY8 STEWART (JOHN7, DANIEL6 STEWARD, JOHN5, GEORGE4, NICHOLAS3, JOHN2, JOHN1 STEWART) was born 1738. Notes for LITTLEBERRY STEWART:According to Stewart Clan Magazine, Littleberry was drafted and fought in the Revolutionary War from Amelia County.   He was on the tax list for Amelia county in 1783 with 5 whites, 2 dwellings and another building.  He was living on the property willed to him by his father in 1777, a parcel of 155 acres.  Edson thinks he moved to Bedford county around 1795.        Child of LITTLEBERRY STEWART is:                   i.    EDWARD9 STEWART, b. Jan 26, 1762, Amelia Co., VA; m. MARY UNKNOWN.

 Notes for EDWARD STEWART:Stewart Clan Magazine states that Edward was born Jan. 27, 1762 and that he was Littleberry's son. According to the GENEALOGICAL ABSTRACTS OF REVOLUTIONARY WAR PENSION FILES by White, Edward Stewart or Steuart, was married to a MARY and fought in the VA line, W6170, BLW #26039-160-55, see all S7617.  He was the son of LITTLEBERRY Stuart and was b. on Amelia Co. VA where he was living when he enlisted.  About 1793, he moved to Rowan Co., NC where he applied for a pension on 11 Apr 1833, listing his age as 73 years old.  (WHICH WOULD SET HIS BIRTH DATE AT 1750 AND IS AT ODDS WITH THE MAGAZINE). According to Cousin Teresa, after the war, Edward migrated to Orange Co., then to Rowan Co., NC.

 14.  NATHANIEL9 STUART, SR. (JOHN8, JOHN7 STEWART, DANIEL6 STEWARD, JOHN5, GEORGE4, NICHOLAS3, JOHN2, JOHN1 STEWART) was born Abt. 1753 in presumably Amelia Co., VA, and died Aft. 1812 in Buncombe Co., NC.  He married MARY BLEDSOE.  She was born in VA. Notes for NATHANIEL STUART, SR.:Nathaniel Sr. was born about 1753, presumedly in Amelia Co., VA.  Nathaniel Sr.'s father, John, died in Surry Co. in 1805.  Nathaniel was named in the will, along with his other brothers and sisters. Nathaniel Sr. first shows up in 1774 in the Surry-Wikes Taxables.  Also on the list were Chas., Wm. and Isaiah Stewart and the related John and Moses BLEDSOE. 

Page 23: 1534 Steward to Stuart

Nathaniel Sr. fought in the Revolutionary War under the name of STUARD (his grandfather's spelling] along side of the BLEDSOES. Listed as serving in a unit under the command of Capt. William SEPPARD in a unit commanded by Capt. Joseph HERNDON and Lt. William LENOIR.   Nathaniel appears on the census of 1790 in Surry County NC , enumerated with five boy under 16 years of age and three females in his family.  That same year, on 14 Aug. 1790, Surry Co. Deed Book E, Nathaniel STUART conveyed to Henry NORMAN, 150 acres on Little Fish River for 75 pounds in VA currency.  The deed was signed by both Nathaniel and Mary Stuart, with William Norman, George Keith, and Joseph Holder as witnesses.  In looking at this deed book, familiar names appear, including William Hawks and Moses Cockerham. Furthermore, on May 25. 1797, Nathaniel Sr. bought 100 acres of land on Stewarts Creek in Surry Co. from Cornelius Keith.  Cornelius eventually moved to Pendleton County, SC which was contiguous with Greenville Co. -- and may have motivated Nathaniel and Edward to move to Greenville, SC. Nathaniel Stewart Sr.  (age over 45 with a wife over 45] appears on the 1800 Census of SC in Greenville Co., living as a neighbor to his brother Edward Stewart who, according to Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, March, 1954, Vol. 31, p. 1, was living with "a son between 16 and 21, and a son and a daughter between 10 and 16" and "evidently the same Edward from Surry."  See also Greenville Co. SC Deed Book L, page 129 AND Deed Book 1, page 451 which shows Nathaniel Stewart "from Surry Co. NC" witnessing a deed. Both Edward and Nathaniel, Sr. were sons of John Stewart and his wife Rachel, according to a Surry Co., NC  division of land petition.  This estate record is on microfilm in the NC State Library in Raleigh, NC.   It would appear that Nathaniel never owned land in SC and before 1810 moved his family up to Buncombe Co, NC where they settled on Avery Creek, south of Asheville, NC.  His brother Edward, however, remained in Greenville Co., SC where he conveyed land in 1802. Nathaniel Stuart, Sr. appears in the 1810 Census of Buncombe Co., NC, page 263.  He appears as a male 45 and upward with 1 female 45 and upward.  He is five houses down from his son, Nathaniel Steward, Jr. who is living with 3 males under 10, two males 26 to 45, and one female 26 to 45. The following two deeds should be researched backward to see what was in the original land grant.  It is very probable that they were originally given to Nathaniel for his service in the Revolutionary War, the Indian Wars, or the War of 1812.  The grants could have originated in VA.  These grants can be confusing because the grant is issued in the state the warrantee lived -- for land that is being opened up to development (usually further West] and not necessarily in the grantor state. March 1, 1817, Buncombe Co., Book 11, pp 476-477; NATHANIEL STEWART to EDWARD STEWART [Nathaniel's brother], $50.00 for 200 acres of a land grant off Avery Creek formerly granted to Nathaniel from the State.  Witnesses: JACOB AND CHARLES STEWART.  The conveyance was proven in court in Sept. 22, 1819 by Jacob B. Stewart. March 1. 1817, Buncombe Co., Book 17, pp. 434-436; from NATHANIEL STEWARD to EDWARD STEWARD [Nathaniel's brother], between French Broad River and Averys Creek, abuts land of Jacob Steward.  Land was originally a land grant to Nathaniel Steward. $200.00 paid for over 450 acres.  Witnesses: JACOB B. AND CHARLES STEWART.  Recorded Sept 15, 1818 Nathaniel Stuart, Sr. appears in the 1820 Federal Census of Buncombe Co., NC, page 128, NC2a1216461.  He is listed next to Edward Stuart, Robert Rogers, John Carlan, and William Prator.  He is living next door to his son, Nathaniel Jr. who appears on page 125, NC2a1216462. Nathaniel Stuart, Sr.  was located in the Otto area of Macon Co. NC in the Vandyke's Store Precinct according to the Polls of 1835.  He is listed as No. 20, his son, Nathaniel Stuart, Jr. is No. 45, and his grandson, Shemeter Stuart is No. 22. Nathaniel Stuart, Sr. appears in the 1840 Federal Census of Macon Co., NC, page 146, NCS4a2517003.

 Notes for EDWARD STEWART:Teresa del Rios thinks this is another son of Nathaniel Sr. and found the marriage record for Edward and Sarah. According to Kenneth Davidson Israel in "The Children of Israel," Edward Stewart was born in 1782 at North Carolina, US. He was Miller. He married Sarah Israel, daughter of Johnson Israel and Ann (Anna?) (?). Edward Stewart appeared on the census of 1830 at Buncombe County, North Carolina, US. He died circa 1855. Edward Stewart was a miller and is believed to have operated a grain mill on Avery's Creek, on the Michael Israel, R. property. The mill and mill pond was just below the waggon road and was on the part of the Michael Israel estate which went to Johnson Israel, Sarah (Israel) Stewart's father. Notes for SARAH ISRAEL:     According to Kenneth Davidson Israel in "The Children of Israel," Sarah Israel was born in 1792 at Wilkes County, North Carolina, US. She was the daughter of Johnson Israel and Ann (Anna?) (?). Sarah Israel married Edward Stewart. Sarah Israel died after 1880. She It is not known for sure if Sarah Israel and Edward Stewart had any children. In 1830 a Edward Stewart, Sr. is listed in Buncombe County, North Carolina with three children living in the household. This may be the Edward Stewart married to Sarah Israel, but there is no evidence to support that theory at this time. In 1840 Edward and Sarah (Israel) Stewart, are living in a household with no other members. The same was true in 1850. After Edward Stewart died, Sarah (Israel) Stewart, his widow, lived with her brother William Israel and her sister Jane Israel. Had she had children, she would have been more likely to live with them. Sarah (Israel) Stewart was 92 years old when the 1880 census was take. It is not known when she died.  More About EDWARD STEWART and SARAH ISRAEL:Marriage: Buncombe Co., NC

                 vii.    JOSHUA STEWART, b. 1784.  15.  EDWARD9 STEWARD (JOHN8 STUART, JR., JOHN7 STEWART, DANIEL6 STEWARD, JOHN5, GEORGE4, NICHOLAS3, JOHN2, JOHN1 STEWART) was born Abt. 1755 in Presumably Amelia Co., VA, and died Aug 13, 1838 in Buncombe Co., NC.  He married MARY UNKNOWN in Surry Co., NC.  She was born Bet. 1760 - 1765 in Orange Co., NC, and died Abt. 1830 in Buncombe Co., NC. Notes for EDWARD STEWARD:Four Edwards show up in VA, NC, SC in the 1700's and early 1800's.  They are often confused.  The only way to untangle them is to scrutinize their birth dates, the census entries, then trace their purchases and sales of property.  Two of the Edwards can be immediately distinguished and eliminated:  the Edward (b c. 1782) who married Sarah Israel and lived a stationary life as a miller on his father-in-law's property on Avery Creek without owning any property.  The second Edward to be eliminated from the confusion is Edward, grandson of John Stewart and Mary Bowman's doubtful son William.  That leaves two Edwards, both of whom fought in the Revolution: 1) Edward, (b. 1762 VA) son of Littleberry Stewart, and 2) Edward, (b. 1755 VA) son of  John Stuart and Rachel.   Little is know about Littleberry, except that he, as well as his son, Edward, fought in the Revolution and according to Cousin Teresa, after the war, Edward migrated to Orange Co., then to Rowan Co., NC. Edward 2) however, son of John and Rachel, also served in the Revolutionary War in Capt. Peter Houston's Company, Col. Shelby's Regiment, according to a pension request filed by his son-in-law, William Praytor, who was married to Nancy Stewart while living in Union Co., GA. The pension request was denied -- presumably because the war dept. confused him with a Davie Co., "NC Edward" who was already receiving benefits.  Then again Praytor could have been denied because Edward had fought with Captain Carlin as documented by the following payroll

where Edward is listed next to his brother John and several men above his nephew Hamp, better known as Hamilton: Here is my transcription from a photocopy of the original payroll which was labeled by hand in modern times as "Carlins Militia Henry Co.

 Notes for ASSENITH PARALEE STUART:Assenith died an old maid.  At one point she was the guardian of her sister's children.  Her sister Delilah married Dr. John Ashworth who was a doctor who died in a Confederate prison.  Delilah died first, leaving her children first in the care of her parents, Jacob Stuart and Nancy Brittain, and then later after John died, the children went to Assenith. (see Jacob's record on 1860 Fanin Co. GA Census which list the granddaughters by name]. I have a copy of the Fannin County Probate Court, dated 02 Jun 1868, wherein Asenith Stuart was appointed guardian of John Ashworth's children, Clarissa C. age 15, Rosana C. age 13 (Delilah Stewart mother) and Louis Napoleon age 7.  Delilah was the mother of the two girls and the boy from John's second marriage. ASSENITH PARALEE STUART, daughter of Nancy Brittain and Jacob Stuart, was not married by the census of 1870 census of Polk Co., TN Assenith was guardian for her two nieces, daus. of Delilah Stuart and John H. Ashworth. We find Assenith, listed as Parilee Stuart, age 30, in the household of James and Alvira QUERY on the 1860 census of Polk Co., TN. Then in 1870, in the 8th Civil Dist., page 26, Polk Co., TN, we find Parilee Stuart, age 45, keeping house, with Clementine Ashworth, age 15, living with her. We find on page 42, same census, J.P. Houstin, age 24, miner, b. GA, and wife, CLERECY, age 17, b. GA Perhaps this is Clarissa Ashworth, we do not have proof since the early marriages of Polk Co. were lost. [Sources; Census of Buncombe Co., NC; Census of Gilmer & Fannin Cos., GA; Descendants of Iley T. Stuart; North Georgia Journal; Census of Polk Co., TN] From Papers located in the National Archives by Bill Kinsland of Dahlonega, GA, we quote:

Page 32: 1534 Steward to Stuart

"In 1868, Assenith Stuart was appointed legal guardian for the two children of John H. Ashworth since the father, Col. Ashworth, Commander of 1st. GA State Troops, U.S. Volunteers, (U.S.), had died from starvation in a Confederate Prison at Raleigh, NC May 1865. Their mother, Delilah, had predeceased 1857. In 1860, Col. Ashworth married Elizabeth Hunnicut. They had one son. 'I found a most interesting and detailed report of the fight at Bucktown, Gilmer Co., GA where Col. Ashworth was captured on 5 Nov. 1864 by Col. J.J. Findley, commanding 1st. GA State Cav. 'Home Guard'. Apparently, it seems that Ashworth was 'a physician, practicing in Dawson Co. GA.'"

The deed was from J. B. Stuart of Cherokee Co, NC, William Prator of Buncombe, and Joshua Jones of Henderson. The deed states that they are heirs at law of Edward Stuart, Deceased.  (Buncombe Co, NC Deed Book 24 page 225). William and family were listed on the 1850 census in Buncombe County. He had some apparent grandchildren mixed in with his children, so I'm not sure which were his, and which were grandkids. 1850 Buncombe Co., NC census, page 195 abstract: (Explanation of this census) House/Family #    2/   2 PRAYTOR WILL                    60 M W FARMER    3500             SC    1789/1790PRAYTOR E B             34 M W FARMER                      NC    1815/1816PRAYTOR WILLIAM    10 M W                     NC    1839/1840PRAYTOR CHARLES     1 M W                      NC    1848/1849PRAYTOR NANCY        62 F W                       NC    1787/1788PRAYTOR SARAH        21 F W                       NC    1828/1829PRAYTOR ADELIA J     16 F W                      NC    1833/1834PRAYTOR NANCY        11 F W                       NC    1838/1839PRAYTOR MARTHA        6 F W                     NC    1843/1844 William and Nancy left Buncombe County and moved to Cherokee County, NC between 1850 and 1860.

STUART:Jacob B. Stuart was born ca 1790/94, either in Surry Co, NC or perhaps in Greenville Dist, SC.  Jacob was named in an 1847 deed where he and the other heirs of Edward Stuart sold some of Edward's land in Henderson Co, NC (for $75) to sister Mary "Polly" Stuart.Jacob used his middle initial "B" on most records to help distinguish him from other Jacobs, particularly his Uncle Jacob Stuart (c1777). Jacob B. Stuart, left Buncombe Co, NC between 1830 and 1832 and settled in Haywood County on Hominy Creek. He left Haywood for Cherokee Co, NC in the 1840's, and by 1850 was not found in NC.

Her husband Joshua Jones was named in an 1847 deed where the other heirs of Edward Stuart sold some of Edward's land in Henderson Co, NC (for $75) to sister Mary Stuart. Lurany was not explicitly named as an heir, but since she was Joshua's wife (as proven by 1850 census), I think it is a safe assumption. (I am assuming that Lurany was Joshua's only wife). Lurany was apparently home with her parents for the 1800 census (age "under 10", born ca 1790/1800), and 1810 (age 10-15, born ca 1794/1800). She was not home in 1820, so apparently married by then. Lurany Stuart married Joshua Jones in Buncombe Co, NC before 1820. Joshua was born ca 1794/95 in NC. There was an older Joshua Jones always nearby, a possible suspect for his father, though there were other Jones' around also.Joshua Jones was listed on the 1820 census in Buncombe Co, NC. He was listed between Benjamin Hawkins and Charles Moore. Joshua had 11 slaves in 1820. 1820 Buncombe Co, NC pg 118 census analysis (explaination based on available evidence): Joshua Jones 000110-10100  Analysis:1 Male(s) 26-44       (1775-1794)      Joshua JONES (1794/95)1 Male(s) 16-25       (1794-1804)      Brother?

I think "Jr" is the one, as his entry matches up with the 1820 entry.  Joshua "Jr" was listed between William Jones and James Long.

The deed states that they are heirs at law of Edward Stuart, Deceased.  (Buncombe Co, NC Deed Book 24 page 225). Joshua and Lurany Jones and family were listed on the 1850 census in Henderson County. Lurany's sister Mary Stuart was residing with them. F. M. Fanning, a Minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church was residing with them. His wife Bertha, was the right age to be a daughter of Joshua and Lurany, matching up with their daughter born ca 1815/20. I'm assuming this is the case, especially considering they named their first son "Joshua". 1850 census abstract: (Explanation of this census) (Note: The dates at the end of each line are not part of the original census, but are approximate birth years based on age) 1850 HENDERSON CO, NC Page 239   House/Family #  335/ 335 JONES JOSHUA          55 M W FARMER           3000 NC           1794/1795JONES LURANA          51 F W                                             SC        1798/1799JONES RUENA            23 F W                                    NC 1826/1827STEWART POLLY       65 F W                                    NC               1784/1785FANNING F M              38 M W Min M.E.P.C.             VA            1811/1812FANNING BERTHA      31 F W                                                       1818/1819FANNING JOSHUA        8 M W                                       1841/1842I have no data on them beyond this point.

        A similar bill was favorably reported by your committee in the Fifty-sixth Congress, and the report of that committee is herewith.        For the reason set forth in that report your committee believe that relief to the extent of granting her a pension of $12 is warranted, and the bill is reported back with the recommendation that it pass, after the same shall have been amended as follows:        In line 6 strike out the word "the" and insert in lieu thereof the words "Company H."In line 8 strike out the word "eight" and insert in lieu thereof the word "twelve."________________ [House Report No. 2560, Fifty-sixth Congress, second session]         The Committee on Invalid Pensions, to whom was referred the bill (H. R. 5615) for the relief of Margaret A. Stuart, of Mount Vernon, Tenn., submit the following report:        This bill proposes to pension Margaret A. Stuart, a widow of Iley T. Stuart, late of Company G, Eleventh Tennessee Cavalry, subject to the provisions and limitations of the pension laws.        Margaret A. Stuart, the beneficiary named in this bill, and now 75 years of age, applied for pension on June 18, 1869, alleging that she was the widow of Iley T. Stuart; that she was married to him July 30, 1849 and that he was killed while serving temporarily in and with Company H, commanded by Capt. W. A. Twiggs, in the Fifth Regiment Tennessee Mounted Infantry.The Adjutant-General, United State Army, reported to the Pension Bureau that he had no evidence of the service of said Stuart, but the beneficiary filed in the Pension Bureau the affidavit of W.A. Twiggs, late caption Company H, Fifth Tennessee Volunteers, to the effect that said Stuart volunteered in the service of the United State on or about September 25, 1864, and that he served temporarily in Company H, Fifth Tennessee  page 2 Mounted Infantry, to repel rebel raids in Fannin Co., Ga., and that while on picket in the regular line of duty October 20, 1864, he was captured and killed by the rebels who made a raid on the picket post.        Also, the affidavit of two citizens of Lumpkin County, Ga., to the effect that on or about October 20, 1864, Iley T. Stuart was brought to the town of Dahlonega, in said State, and held as a prisoner until about October --, 1864. when he was taken out and shot to death by the rebels.        Upon this proof, and testimony of the beneficiary's marriage to the soldier and of the birth of three minor children, the name of the beneficiary was placed on the pension roll in September, 1869, at $8 per month, commencing October 21, 1864, and $ per month additional for each minor child, commencing July 25, 1866; and this allowance was made by virtue of the third paragraph of section 4693 of the Revised Statutes, United States, and who otherwise volunteered and rendered service in any engagement with rebels or Indians, etc., providing the claim for such pension shall have been prosecuted to a successful issue prior to July 4, 1874, etc.        From papers on file in the Pension Office it appears that one John A. Wimpey collected the pension due the beneficiary by signing the name of the beneficiary to the vouchers for pension and by indorsing the checks made in her favor; that said Wimpey made restitution to the Government of $807.19 of such pension money, and that after the investigation of the case of the beneficiary by a special examiner of the Pension Bureau in March, 1877, her name was dropped from the rolls on the ground that her husband was acting with a band of citizens without authority from any United States officer at the time he was captured and killed, and that hence the beneficiary was not entitled to pension under section 4693. Revised Statutes.        The gist of the testimony obtained by the special examiner of 1877 shows that the husband of the beneficiary was a Union man and had no sympathy at any time with the Confederacy; that he left home at the first opportunity given to the people in that section of the country and enlisted in Company G, Eleventh Tennessee Cavalry, which was afterwards called the Ninth Tennessee Cavalry; that he remained with his command after the siege of Knoxville, when he got home under the supposed purpose of getting recruits for the Union Army; that he became dissatisfied at being dismounted, which he gave as an excuse for not retuning to his command; that about the early part of March, 1864, the Fifth Tennessee Mounted Infantry was being organized, and that among those who received papers to get up recruiting for that regiment was W. A. Twiggs, formerly a member of the Fifty-second Georgia Infantry, C. S. A.        That Twiggs started in October, 1864, to recruit men for his company, although he had not been mustered into the United States service, and was clothed only with authority to recruit; that about that time the Confederates, feeling that their grasp on the southern part of East Tennessee and northern Georgia was slipping off, improved the opportunity left by plundering the Union men living there; that Twiggs got into that part of the country and then

called on the citizens to join him, claiming that he had authority to call on them to aid him in driving out the Confederates and holding the country; that the citizens upon his representations rallied to his camp, and that he as their commander marched over Polk County, Tenn., and Fannin County, Ga.; that he had three or more skirmishes with the rebels and guerrillas, and that his command not being under proper control, took the opportunity of repaying past injuries, if not on those who inflicted them, on their abettors; that the husband of the beneficiary was of that number who joined Twigg's command; that about October 20, 1864, Stuart, who was a blacksmith, with several others, left the camp to shoe their horses, and while so doing a captain of Confederates with his men, captured Stuart and some six others, and sent them to Dahlonega to Colonel Finley on the evening of October 22. 1864, and that Colonel Findley ordered Captain Grissom to take Stuart and two others and have them shot, which order was obeyed.        The beneficiary applied for restoration to the rolls under the act of June 27, 1890, on August 8, 1890, then stating under oath that her husband's correct service was first in Company G, Eleventh Tennessee Cavalry, and filed proof that she had not remarried since his death; that she was dependent on others for support, having only some interest in some land, 15 acres of which were in cultivation, and which would not rent for $25 per annum; and that by reason of physical disabilities she was unable to labor; but that claim was rejected October 20. 1891, upon the ground  MARGARET A. STUART.                3  that her husband had not been honorably discharged from his military service, it appearing from the report of the War Department that he enlisted as a private in Company G, Eleventh Tennessee Cavalry, subsequently known as Company G, Ninth Tennessee Cavalry, September 22, 1863, and that he deserted January 12, 1864, and that here was no provision of law under which the War Department could remove the charge of desertion standing against the soldier.        In view of the fact, however, that the husband of the beneficiary had again volunteered to serve in the Union Army, having been recruited for the Fifth Tennessee Mounted Infantry, and to have obeyed the orders of the recruiting officer, believing that such officer had full authority, and that he was shot by the enemy, your committee is of the opinion that while the case of the beneficiary may not fall within the letter, it, however, does fall within the spirit of the third paragraph of section 4693 of the Revised Statutes, and that consequently relief to the extent of granting the beneficiary a pension at the rate of $8 per month is warranted, and the bill is reported back with the recommendation that it pass after the same shall have been amended as follows:        In line 6 strike out all after the word "Stuart," and all of lines 7, 8, and 9, and insert in lieu thereof the following; "late of the Fifth Regiment Tennessee Volunteer Mounted Infantry, and pay her a pension at the rate of eight dollars per month."        Amend the title so as to read: "A bill granting a pension to Margaret A. Stuart." O  More About MARGARET A.

Notes for ROSSA CLEMENTIN ASHWORTH:Information on the second marriage of Rossa to Jonathon Jasper Marr, provided by his descendant, William Marr and his website. STORY OF JONATHAN JASPER MARR & ROSANNA ASHWORTH     Jonathan grew up in trying times. He was 13 or 14 when the Civil War started and his family was in complete disarray. His father was out of work at the mines and the war swirled around Polk Co. He had little or no schooling and the 1870 census stated he could neither read nor write. He was probably not too different than many of his contemporaries in East Tennessee at that time. By about 1878 he had experience as a miner and decided he could strike out on his own and he married Rosanna Clementine Ashworth.     Rosanna was born in May 1855 in either GA or TN according to different census records. The 1850 and the 1860 census records for Ducktown, TN do not list Rosanna Clementine. The 1870 census does show however, a Clementine Ashworth, age 15, living with "Priville Stuart", a single women, age 45, that was a neighbor of the William Marr family and Jonathan in Ducktown TN.  Relatives who knew Rosanna Clementine in the 1930's remember her referring to her family name of Ashworth.  Information shows that Rosanna was a orphan from the Civil War period and Priville Stuart was her guardian. To support this assumption, a second Ashworth child was found living with another family in Ducktown. The Civil War disrupted and destroyed many family units creating many orphans including Rosanna Clementine Ashworth.   In March 2001 contact on the internet  was made with researchers of the Stuart family and they confirmed that Rosanna Clementine's family name should be Ashworth.  According to their research, Rosanna Clementine was born on 5 May 1855 to Dr. John Ashworth of Georgia and Delilah Stuart, daughter of Jacob Stuart and Nancy Brittian.  Delilah Stuart Ashworth died about 1857 and left Dr. Ashworth with Rosanna and an older sister.  Sometime before the Civil War, Dr. Ashworth asked his in-laws, the Stuarts, to assume care of his two children. The grandparents died a few years later and care of the children was awarded to their unmarried daughter whose name is shown on different documents as"Permelia" or "Priville" or " Asenith Paralee" Stuart.  Rosanna and her Aunt by 1870 were found to live in Polk Co. TN.   Her father remarried for a short time and then became embroiled in the Civil War. Even though he was living in Georgia, he chose to side with the Federal Government and he was awarded the rank of Colonel and became the Commander of 1st GA State Troops, (U.S.).  His unit became involved in a fight at Bucktown, Gilmer Co. GA and he was captured on 5 Nov. 1864 and sent to the Confederate Prison at Raleigh, NC where he died of starvation in May 1865.    While no recorded have been found to substandiate their marriage, JJ and Rosanna must have become married about 1878 or 1879.  By 1880, JJ and Rosanna were living in Anniston Al where they had their first child, William Monroe Marr born on Jan 2, 1880.  While still in Alabama, Rosanna Clementine and JJ  had a second child, Jessie Pauline Marr born in 1885. The next solid record found on JJ's family is the 1900 US Census that lists "John Mar" living in Jefferson Co., Alabama. Jefferson County which includes the big city of Birmingham which  has several big steel mills and coal mines near by.  Birmingham, Alabama is only about is 30 miles from Anniston where William Monroe Marr was born. The 1900 Census showed JJ birth's date as Nov. 1850 and that he had been married 22 years. This confirms that the JJ and Rosanna were married in 1878. "Clemmie" was given as his wife's name and she was born in May 1855. The 1900 census said she had 2 children and both were living and she was listed as being born in Tenn.  Also included in this household was William M. Marr, a son born Jan 1880 and he was single. A statement was included that "father and son are coal miners and they rent a house".      One conclusion that can be drawn from 1900 census is that by 1900, Jessie Pauline had already married Sam Parrott and they had setup their own household. A living relative stated that Jessie had her first daughter in 1900 in Ala and her name was Anna Mae Parrott.  Jessie must have married at about the age of 14 to Sam Parrott.  Jessie and Sam moved and set up a home in Herrin Il and in 1907 they had a second daughter, Margaret Parrott. Several months after the Margaret's birth, Jessie died suddenly from what her family believes was a diabetic coma.  Apparently Jessie always had a craving for candy and sweets.      Jonathan and Rosanna most likely moved to Herrin about 1902 and were united with Sam and Jessie because there is a picture taken about that time (shown below) of JJ, Rosanna, Jessie, Sam Parrott and daughter Anna Mae looks to be about 2 years old. Apparently after Jessie died in 1908, JJ and Clementine moved in with Sam Parrott so that Clementine could help take care of the two granddaughters. The US census of 1910 of Herrin Twp, Fordville,

Page 47: 1534 Steward to Stuart

Williamson Co, Il showed Sam A. Parrott as the head of a household; as a widower, who was born in TN. He had two daughters, Anna M., 9 years old born in Al and a second daughter Willie, (Margaret) 2 years old born in Il.  Also living in the house was Rosana C. Marr, 55 years old, married for 37 years who had 3 children and only one living.  Rosanna was listed as being born in TN.  Also living in the house was John J. Marr, age 60 and he was born in TN.  It is believed that JJ and Rosanna stayed with Sam Parrott for awhile. Then, later JJ and Rosanna took the two baby girls and moved, possibly to Colorado for a short period.  Later Rosanna returned alone with the girls to Herrin Il.  About 1918, JJ moved the Aberdeen Wash and he showed in the local registry as living with his son.  He was remembered as having red hair as do many men with  Scotch-Irish roots.  In 1923 he died in Aberdeen and was buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Centralia, Wash where many of his son wife's family are interred.  His his grave stone was put into place July 29, 1923 according to cemetery records.  Rosanna Clementine continued to live with Sam Parrott and raise her granddaughters at 716 North 16th street in Herrin Ill.  Anna Mae married in 1916 to a George Brown and immediately had a child, Sara Jessie Brown.  Later they had a second child, Eugene Brown.  Margaret married in about 1925 to Herman Bargesser and Ruth Helen Bargesser was born in 1926.  Rosanna Clementine died in 1940 and is buried in Oakhills Cemetery, in Cook Co Il.  I have all of the application papers from the National Archives wherein Rossa tried to secure a pension from the government for the death of her father.  The pension was never granted because she abandoned the petition, because she did not have sufficient documentation.         Children of ROSSA ASHWORTH and JONATHON MARR are:                   i.    WILLIAM MONROE13 MARR, b.

She was tall for that age at 5'8", had honey colored hair, and wonderous hazel eyes -- and an eviable hour glass figure. She attracted suitors like flies to honey and "Papaw" had to jump through hoops to win her hand.  I still have dozens of cards from her suitors who pursued her even after her marriage!  During the war, Maude and Hugh moved to Tullahoma where he worked as a barber in Camp Forrest and that is where Mother met my Dad. 

Page 53: 1534 Steward to Stuart

After the war, my grandparents lived with us until I was 14.  It was great to grow up in an extended family.  I was never alone and always had someone at home to take care of my survival.  I particularly loved the bedtime stories.  I loved the "broken dish" tale about how Mamaw's first tea set was made from the pieces of china that was broken on the wagon trip out West -- and I loved to hear about going to school in the winter by buckboard, wrapped in a buffalo blanket, feet resting on heated bricks -- and one of the older boys carrying a rifle to fend off varmits.  Papaw told me about the exploits of Buffalo Bill, the James Brothers, and dozens of other famous pioneers.  No wonder, I love to tell stories, and have always been a writer. Mamaw was a wonderful cook and seamtress.  She taught me to quilt, make my own clothes, and important homemaking skills.  I helped with the canning, pickling, and preserving.  She loved words and cross word puzzles.  It's no wonder the power of words is still one of my facinations.  But Mamaw wasn't only world class homemaker, she was a modern woman who worked during the war in the Burlington Mills. She loved cats and all God's creatures. As a child, she took me every Sunday to feed the squirels, ducks, and swans at the cemetery pond.    More About MAUDE STUART:Burial: National Cemetery, Chattanooga, Hamilton Co., TN Notes for HUGH FRANKLIN SMITH:In 1945, Hugh and Maude were living in Oak Ridge, TN.  Maud was working for the government on the Manhatten Project. More About HUGH FRANKLIN SMITH:Burial: National Cemetery, Chattanooga, Hamilton Co., TN More About HUGH SMITH and MAUDE STUART:Marriage: Sep 1, 1917, Walker Co., GA        Child of MAUDE STUART and HUGH SMITH is:80.              i.    JEWELL MAUDE14 SMITH, b.

A FAMILY LETTER DATED 1774 DONATED BY TERESA STUART RIOS.

I said John was married to Susanna Hatcher, but I was wrong. That was a much earlier John Stewart who was born in the 1600´s.  It was Susanna Tanner that John Stewart married. John was the son of John Stewart and Mary Bowman who lived in Amelia CO VA after moving from the Chesterfield/Henrico CO VA area in the late 1750´s. John talks of his son "Jack" which is a nickname for John. He also mentions his son Dan, "Daniel" and John´s brother who died in Amelia CO VA "Berry" (Littleberry).  This letter was written to his parents John Stewart and Mary Bowman.  John had 1 brother and 2 sisters who stayed in the Amelia CO area.  The brother who stayed in Amelia Co was Charles.

Here is that letter, it was a joy to read something this old that has survived time.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------STEWART FAMILY LETTER-Pittsylvania CountyCopied from a letter owned by Mr. Joseph Ward of Watauga County, North Carolina (now deceased).       Mr. John Stewart       Nottoway Parish Amelia County Virginia       6th May 1774Dear Father John Davis bought your letter today and I write to tell you how pleased I am to hear from you as well as to share a few lines about your family here in Pittsylvania. Susanah as you know from brother John Kelly was very sickly and has been slow to mend. She is a good and dutiful wife and I must confess my fear was that she might never be any better. As for the children our Cely has taken to herself a husband since I wrote you Mr. Benjamin Ward. They stay with his brother Daniel Ward but talk much of going to Carolina. Jack tends to run wild much to the worry of his Mother and this does not help to better her poor state of health. Dan now stands as tall as brother Berry and is a favorite with the ladys. He is a fine son and in his conduct is much like brother Charles. Our Mary is a great comfort. Never was a girl more properly named for Mother being a most sensable girl and since Susanahs illness has taken charge of her Mothers dutys. It has been near five years since our Jesse left us and never is the day we do not think of our dear boy lost at such a tender age. As for myself I am in perfect health. I close with our respects to you and Mother and all the family.
