Kay, Thanks for your response. I was just hoping that the census posting 1850 Cherokee Co. AL. with Lydia Stewart's name might lead to something? It's hard to find people when you don't have much to search with. My mother's family knows nothing about Nancy or her mother Lydia Stewart. The only info they know is what I've found in census records in Jackson County, AL. and their names. It seems no one asked questions when they were small not even my mother's oldest sister still living. No bibles or ledgers that anyone still has with any info. My only hope maybe one of the Stewart's may start searching and I can find them in this way. Thanks a lot. Keep me in mind. Judy
