Dick Stewart ================================== I have NO idea how to really get started helping create this from its inception to today. I know that in 1905 it requested affiliation with Harmony Grove Association on October 12, 1905. But, I don't know what happened prior to that or who really started it. The church now belongs to the Southern Baptist Association, some of those documents actually have the church named as Camp Chapel. We "think" a man by the name of A.J. Mays was affiliated with the church early on, but we don't know if he actually started it. Do you have any suggestions on how I could start this process? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi again Teresa, Reuben CLEMENTS is generally documented via Maggie Sudduth and the Tuscaloosa Gen. Group. There just isn't any strong evidence to make the connection to Charles jr or sr. Jest FYI, in 1817 Judge Harry Toulmin ('stationed' and living in Mobile at the time) sends a petition in to the gov or to the congress, I forget which, wherein they are attempting to protect the upcoming demarcation between MS and AL. Quite a few signers of the petition out of the few "counties" in the "District of Alabama", including one Solomon STEWART of "Monroe County" which was just about all of Alabama at the time. Remember also he was enumerated in 1816 in same District, so after about 5 or 6 years of living in TN, he and his purported brothers and possibly cousins are appearing to be rooting around, probably in the Black Warrior or Tombigbee River environments. All of these guys were plantation / farming focused and now apparently possibly squatter / land focused, and wound up eventually getting land that was either conducive to farming, unique to the Black Belt of Alabama, or closer to river transportation (i.e. Black Warrior or Tombigbee or Alabama Rivers). In 1818, (the year in which my GG Grandfather was born, and at least one of the census entries says place of birth as "Alabama," I believe), Solomon Stewart spends six months enlisted and at Fort / Camp Montgomery. He doesn't "formally" get into Alabama until 1821 when he and his purported brother Reuben are lined up at the Huntsville Land Office to buy 80 acre parcels, and thence both of them apparently onward to Marion and Fayette Counties to do their thing. (Why they chose that area is a mystery to me). I believe they started off winding up at what's called Moore's Bridge near (not far from Tuscaloosa / Northport, or at least that's the tradition as told by descendants of Reuben and William STEWART (and I believe they cited 1818 / 1819 as the timeline for that!). Best I can figure, Reuben, (William), may have been into AL by 1819; Solomon probably had to wrap up things in Lincoln County, TN (LCT) and got in formally by 1821, and Larkin and Johanna (Walter Harkins) Stewart must have had a similar task: to clean up and clear out of Lincoln County, TN (see Tuscalloosa land grant for Walter Harkins, cited as from Lincoln County, TN). Larkin was operating on the "Barren Fork" of the West Fork of the Flint River, Walter Harkins and Johanna lived on "Stewart's Creek" off of the Elk River, and Reuben, William, Charles, and probably Benjamin lived on the "West Fork" of the Flint River. They appear to have had an interactive thing going, possibly with two goals: 1) getting products to market via the waters available 2) perhaps land speculation in LCT, and 3) perhaps biding time for AL opportunities Almost the same scenario becomes apparent once they are formally into AL. Once again with Larkin at the bottom of the paths (according to some researchers, he eventually buys his own steamboat to transport cotton to Mobile.). And Solomon had eventually made his way from Marion County to Tuscaloosa (I believe Tuscaloosa was the capital at the time), and then by about 1828-1829 to Perry County (part of the rich fertile Black Belt). Benjamin appears to be active in 1818 in Bibb county overseeing road building to Tuscaloosa, and shows up in a land transaction in 1826 in Tuscaloosa with Solomon, and in the Tuscaloosa County census in 1830 (with an 80-yr old female as part of the household). There's another land transaction in Tuscaloosa with Benjamin, with his wife Nancy (W. Pullam) Stewart signing ("X - her mark") Yepper, I feel for me too, Teresa! :-) And for the others who are temprarily bogged down in the mud. My aunt is the one that got me started in all this STEWART stuff, and it's all over me! Now, I'm stuck in the mud and I can't get it off of me! :-) I hate to wait another 5 years until I'm 60 and retired to resolve all of this, but it may come to that. And it will be a wild and wooly RV -based hunting party! CALLING ALL STEWARTS!!!! :-) Cheers from a sunny 6600 ft, Dick Stewart Colorado ======================== (from TS-de-Rios) The original Mississippi Territory created by the U.S. Congress in1798 was a strip of land extending about 100 miles north to south and from the Mississippi River to the Chattahoochee on the Georgia border. The territory was increased in 1804 and 1812 to reach from Tennessee to the Gulf. In 1817 the western part achieved statehood as Mississippi (the eastern part became the state of Alabama in 1819). Natchez, the first territorial capital, was replaced in 1802 by nearby Washington, which in turn was replaced by Jackson in 1822. Now, I am sure MS suffered great damage through records in the Civil War, recall Vicksburg? Reuben Clements ands son such as Hardy were documented since at least 1824 in MS territ. Why not research Reuben, his wife was Elizabeth Stewart and a sister to your Charles JR. Hardy Clements left is finger prints all over MS,.he was a surveyor. I don`t think it would be wise to dig up a body for DNA, there might not be much DNA left too. You`d need a different kind of lab for that kid of DNA testing and the cost would be great. I feel for you Dick, I am still searching for all these years. The Deep South is a nightmare for research, thanks to Gen Sherman. Teresa

Hi again Joel, good summary re Cherokees. I just don't have any insight into how/if my guys were interactive with the Cherokees. They all married much earlier (in ???GA; or probably TN) prior to going into Alabama. Two small grains of salt: 1. The only vague piece I have re indians at all is someone's scribbinling about 30 years ago in a letter that one of Solomon's sons Orren (presumably while in Alabama) was - "scared by the indians", or - "scalped by the indians" I couldn't decipher the writing, but it was definitely interesting, because Orren (Orrin / Owen?) is cited in Solomon STEWART's 1851 will as "my unfortunate and afflicated son"..........and he calls out money to be supplied another son (my GG Grandfather) Franklin STEWART, as money to take care of Orrin. Strangely enough, Orrin died about six months after his dad, according to a family Bible of another son (Rufus STEWART). 2. If I remember correctly, one of the first pieces of land bought by Solomon STEWART about 1821, plots right in Glen Allen, almost on the curve opposite the garage there (interestingly enough, named Jim Stewart's Garage, or something like that, back in 1993) Regards from 6600 ft, Dick Stewart Colorado

For all, let's move this to the STEWART list? For Teresa, Lauren, and Gerald, and......., CALLING ALL STEWARTS!!! (for NW-ALABAMA: Joan, just saw your call for queries. here's one if there ever was one! Also includes the old Monroe County 1816; Bibb County 1818 Benjamin Stewart, and Avery family; and Perry County - Solomon Stewart , and Larkin Stewart in Dale County). (for ALFAYETTE: Monya, any thoughts on the Harkins/Johanna Stewart connection from TN to AL? Has anyone ever attempted to confirm / deny the existance of a Charle Stewart / Elizabeth CLEMENTS burial plot north of Fayette? ) (Mark, your comments invited, probably best to move it to the STEWART list. Are there ANY leads left?) (Maggie, if you and Billie are still active, or anyone in the Tuscaloosa Morning Group for that matter, what's your thoughts on this line, especially the Reuben CLEMENTS / Elizabeth STEWART/STUART connection to the Charles Stewart line) (For Lincoln County TN (LCT: This clan of Stewarts were generally operating as land / plantation owners in what I call the "Flint River Basin" south of Fayetteville and on or just north of the TN / AL state line, during the 1810-1820 period. Includes Solomon, Reuben, Charles, Benjamin, William Stewart; as well as Walter Harkins (married Johanna Stewart, the one known sister in the clan). There is tenuous evidence (depends on how one reads the court / minute dockets) that there may be TWO Charles Stewarts, or TWO Reuben Stewarts active, or only ONE of each.) As Gerald Daniel noted in the previous email (not to all), it's a very cold trail. Supposedly Charles (m. Hannah Kirk) is buried in a rooted up cemetary out in NC behind an airfield somewhere, with no stone, etc. DNA would be very helpful here potentially, wouldn't it? But, ..... To further complicate it, my connection to Charles/Hannah, via Solomon, is his supposed dad, Charles (mar Elizabeth Clements). Both are supposedly buried in a certain cemetary between Winfield and Fayette Alabama. Of course, there's no stones, folks have been out there, found nothing, etc. DNA would be potentially helpful here, too, huh? But, ..... Our "documented" connection, for me, and the Charles/Elizabeth daughter Johanna Stewart (mar Harkins), and other brothers (Larkin, Charles III, Reuben, William, Benjamin, and any others we don't know about) is via a mormon lady Francis Mae Baker, who lived in SLC, and was apparently paid by the George Stewart Society (her line was via Charles/Elizabeths brother George Stewart, who while in Tuscaloosa decided to go othe mormon route) to come out and nail all of this down. This was in the 1950s!!!!! In the meantime, I've got family tradition that located my Solomon in the Gray (plantation)/Stewart (plantation) Cemetary ni Leake County. I've been there. All is gone, save about a dozen sunken slots. DNA would be really neat here, huh? But....... There are at least two full boxes of documentation (read: research notes) from Francis Mae Baker. I know, I have seen and touched them. Unfortunately I didn't have time to 'research' them, but then again, I didn't need to. Her notes and connections were based on face-to-face conversations with folks (including Harkins family in Fayette, AL) and included personal interviews with folks in North Carolina, (possibly TN, I don't recall, and possibly VA). She was hosted in NC by some folks in the Stewart lineage. We currently, in our line so to speak, have a person in NC, via the mom I believe (and therefore can't test) and is as close as it gets to nailing it down. Folks, he IS an archivist in the NC state archives, and he has come up empty as well. He and I have talked over the last few months and I indicated a desire to go to VA and get down and dirty and see what's there, as the trail is not only cold, but dying a slow death. He indicated that one could do almost the same thing from one's chair, via the microfilm. That's another story another day. As you know, the microfilm must be read someplace, and for me that's usually the local Mormon Family History Center (10 miles across town). ( I just came back from there last night - researching my wife's family in France. For me, though, it's just not the same. I think one has to blow the dust off of stuff and root through the bones. As a simple example, my wife and I did a round-robin back in 1993 through Tuscaloosa, Perry, Marengo, Fayette Counties of Alabama, Kemper and Leake Counties of Mississippi, and Lincoln County of Tennessee. In the Tuscaloosa courthouse/county clerks place, - I was, after getting a little pushy, able to go to the top floor which has never been protected, sorted, filed, etc. , and found my Solomon 12 times in four different court books dateing around 1823-1828. - My wife, quite by accident, found a land certificate on Solomon in a cabinet downstairs (while I was unstairs), and it also had Benjamin Stewart on it as well. Solomon had bought more land, just north of Tuscaloosa (Northport area), and had sold/transferred it to Benjamin. Nice...., very nice, better than DNA, but...... still no Charles / Elizabeth...... - While in Leake Co, MS, against my better judgement, we stopped in to the Carthage Library (don't blink your eyes when driving by - you'll miss it); and while there, one little teeny tiny book had some Leake Co marriages, and lo, there was my missing item: the marriage of one of Solomon's daughters Jerusha with the next door plantation guy, William Gray. Better than DNA, that made me really feel better about the notion of the existance of a Gray/Stewart Cemetary. - A brief meeting with the Carthage historical societe lady showed that my aunt indeed had received EXACT locational info (I mean degrees and coordinates, etc.) from a lady in Carthage that had long since passed away.). Been there (to the gravesite)... done that..... Wanted urgently to borrow a shovel and start looking for potential DNA samples. (Is that morbin or what?) Since the site is a one-acre residential plot, complete with house, that puts all options back on the shelf. Still no Charles,Elizabeth........ The trail is mighty cold. While I'm more than ever, thanks to the DNA test, convinced that this is evolving to be a relatively true story (The Solomon, Larkin, Reuben, Charles III, William, Johanna, Benjamin portion), I am, more than ever, convinced that a hunting party is about the only way we will ever establish the Solomon - Charles connection and the Charles - Charles connection, is a down and dirty hunting party. Unfortunately, it runs a slimy trail, to include MS, AL, TN, probably GA, probably SC, and then "TN - western NC" (late 1790's or early 1800s) according to my aunt and oral/family tradition, and then NC Wake/Cumberland/Hartnett (and throw in Teresa's points about Surry County, and my notion of the Hogan/Hogins side being possibly in Orange Co. Where to start? The place to start in theory are the "critical nodes" in the lines, where any discovery makes the connection work. Unfortunately, it's more often a "hit and miss" affair, hoping and praying to find anything that might prop up the sagging line. Where to start? For me it's the Charles - Charles connection, and then my Solomon - Charles connection. It's difficult to believe that my nearest Charles (mar Elizabeth) could have 7 to 10 children and not one of them being documented somewhere as being born or married. But, even with Solomon's children, I only have two of them "documented", and neither is a marriage certificate. The Charles - Hannah Kirk connection is so vital, but so very cold as a trail. I know that lots of the research and family tradition show a pointer to either Virginia or directly back to Scotland from NC. While that's all well and good, I am here to tell you that I could just as well believe that they went back even one more generation, possibly back into the "migration" locations, such as Pennsylvania. Where to go from here? Well, unfortunately, I'm leaving Colorado for three months and will be in Washington DC and Alabama, in a work mode, and that's usually not conducive to good research. However, I'm taking the RV, and I will be trying to slip over to Richmond in between job locations and will attempt to get "down and dirty". When I lived near WDC in the 90s I knew most of the routes (NGS, DAR, NARA, NARA-Land, FHCs,etc.,). I think we need a strong lead to follow, and frankly that's what's missing. There is actually a Smith descendant that says our Stewarts were in Livingston and Christian Counties, Kentucky prior to going to TN in/about 1810. But at the same time, roughly, two to four of the Stewart's were in GA playing with the GA Land Lottery 1805 1807 I think. This is all based on a Larkin Stewart / Smith relationship. IN the early 1990s I actually talked with a Smith descendant in Fayette, AL, who is a documented relative via his mom, of Larkin Stewart. (Name is Lynwood Smith..... they owned a merchandise store in Fayette.) Any thoughts on how to find a viable Charles Stewart in NC, TN, SC, GA, AL, possibly VA, KY, or PA? Any idea where the critical nodes are? Any suggestions on where to find a potential DNA sample without digging up someone's back yard? :-) Best Regards from 6600 ft, Dick Stewart PS: Jest FYI, CALLING ALL STEWARTS is a journal I produced in the early 90s, (AKA STEWART FAMILY GENEALOGICAL JOURNAL). Almost three years of research back then was an attempt to "cast a wide net" to see if any trails / leads could be developed. There were ZERO pointers to Solomon - Charles; Charles - Charles; Charles - Rev James, Charles - Hannah, etc.). We need a HOT lead!!!!!!

Surnames: Dawson/ Dowsing Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RS.2ADE/843.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi, Val! This is just a wild guess, but when you wrote that you were looking for your Choctaw ancestor who went by the surname of "Dawson," after the name given to his wife, I recalled something which was told to me as a child. My grandmother's grandmother, Lucinda (Lucy) Dowsing, of Memphis, Tennessee (Shelby County) had an Indian father and a white mother. The 1910 Shelby County Census record says that she was born in Alabama, which means that her Indian father most-likely lived in that State. Since Lucinda's surname was Dowsing, could this, by chance, have been a corruption of the name Dawson? Lucinda had several children, of whom were Tillie and Daisy. It is not clear if she had these children outside of wedlock, or whether she was ever married to a Dowsing, or simply carried her father's surname of Dowsing (Dawson). Lucy would have been born around 1870. Would this fit the time-frame of your ancestor, Dawson? Where in Alabama did he live? Do you know the names of his children, a! nd if so, what were they? You may contact me by e-mail: Davidbena2@walla.com Looking forward to hearing from you. Your's truly, David
