    2. Dick Stewart
    3. Hi again, Bob, and tks for the info. they all seem to be civil war related, and a couple are distant related to my folks (Reubin C. Stewart, etc.). A.C. and R.W. Stewart are a little bit intriging, as one of Solomon's sons was a Rufus W. Stewart and he was in the civil war late in the game, but out of Kemper County, Mississippi, and also inadvertantly transcribed as R.M. Stewart. Also, fyi, here is further info on possibly my Solmon Stewart, who would have been either still in LCT, TN or already rooting around in Marion Co, AL (he had previously signed a petion in 1817 authored by Judge Toulmin in Mobile): Stewart, Solomon, McGirt's Company, Mounted Rangers, Alabama (Seminole War, 1817-1818) Private / Private Card nr 36107252 no personal papers Pvt., Capt. Zachariah McGirt's Comcpany of Mounted Rangers (Col.

Davis to Arthur P. Hayne April 1817: "Report of the barracks at Camp Montgomery, where the principal part of the 7th Infantry is at present stationed. Camp Montgomery is the same place formerly cal'd Fort Montgomery, ten or twelve miles above the confluence of Tombigbee and Allabama Rivers; and about three miles East of the latter.--The commanding officer of the 7th Infantry has demolished the Fort, and has built tollerable good barracks of round logs on the same ground, which will add much more to the health and comfort of the Troops, than to be confined within the walls of an old woodoen Fort. ....." cheers, Dick Stewart -----Original Message----- From: Sgtmajrp@aol.com To: ALMARION-L@rootsweb.com Date: Friday, January 28, 2000 4:29 AM Subject: Re: [ALMARION] Re: [ALTUSCAL-L] I need County Information, Please >Not sure if these are your Stewart's, they are listed 7 times in my book. > >James Stewart 22 March 1862 Co D 2nd Cav. absent on sick leave > >Reubin C.
