The gaggle of STEWARTs and allied families that I follow has a pretty solid trail from Lincoln County TN to Marion/Fayette Counties AL: ====================================================== Reference: LAND GRANTS AND ADULTS RESIDING IN FAYETTE COUNTY, ALABAMA 1823-1900 By Homer T. Jones ALAV2001-B78 Ref.-County; Fayette; 929.376187; J77l [[J77L]]; Department of Archives & History; Montgomery ALABAMA ========================================================= 1. Section: Land Granted or Purchased Prior to Creation of the County December 20, 1824 (pp 1-2) Harkins, Walter: 1822 [[married Johanna Stewart, Solmon's purported sister]] McConnell, James: 1820 McConnell, John: 1820 McConnell, Joseph: 1820 (There are others that may have come from LCT as well, including surnames Dodson, Eddins, Fowler, Jones, Moore, Owen, Parker, Thornton, Van Hoose, White, Wright, etc.) Take a look at this mass gaggle (add Johanna Stewart/Harkins to it of course): - Stewart, BENJAMIN: 1823 - Stewart, CHARLES: 1820 - Stewart, GEORGE: 1824 - Stewart, JOHN: 1820 - Stewart, LARKIN: 1821 - Stewart, REUBEN: 1820 - Stewart, SOLOMON: 1820 - Stewart, WILLIAM: 1820 You can bet your booties the 1820 guys (Charles, John, Reuben, Solomon, and William), along with the McConnells, were all lined up at the Huntsville Land Office (a short horse ride down from Lincoln County / Flint River area TN) on the appointed day and did a boot-scoot down Alabama way. Solmon bought one tract of land up near what is now known as Glen Allan. I have read that it was originally known as STEWART'S GAP. All but George and John have been presumed to be brothers/sister, according to earlier researchers. The brothers/sister are in LCT as early as 1811. Walter Harkins buys land in Tuscaloosa County in 1822, with his residence listed as Lincoln County TN. Other researchers say that the dad and mom of this gaggle, Charles Stewart and Elizabeth Clements, died in Fayette County and are buried in the area, but no one has every located a marker/tombstone, and it, of course, begs the question of how many Charles Stewarts were in LCT 1811-1816 (i.e. Charles Sr, AND Charles Jr.?). Solomon was elected in 1822, in Marion County, Colonel Commandant, 4th Brigrade, 2 Division (I think); 16th (17th?) Regiment, Alabama Militia. By the end of 1822 another Colonel is elected and by 1823 Solomon is long gone to Tuscaloosa. To Perry County by 1829, to Kemper County MS by about 1834, and to Leake County by about 1848, dying on his own 1500 acre plantation March 5, 1852. The others begin to spawn off to other counties as well, except for Charles, Reuben, and William, I believe, who live out their lives in Fayette County. Larkin (W. is middle initial I believe, not to be confused with Larkin P.) winds up as a purty successful 'planter' farther south, and it is said that he eventually owned his own steamboat, and it is also said that he one of the buyers of some of the land from the French Vine and Olive Colony near Linden / Aigleville. Dick Stewart Colorado

Hi Iris, and Anne, 1. Iris, sorry about the confusion re Bridges and Corley. Memory is not always friendly, nor is personal / genealogical paper organization an attribute I can claim. 2. Iris, Depending on their religious denomination, they were probably obeying the civil rules that one must get a license. Then they probably proceeded to a church wedding officiated by a Minister of the Gospel (you'll see MG in many of the marriage records accumulated by genealogists). Whether or not they, or the MG, ever got the marriage confirmed back to the civil authority, or whether or not the civil authority ever followed up, is a whole new set of questions. 3. In the case of my Mary H. Stewart marrying Allan Avery, it appears that Solomon and troops were in Scooba, Kemper County, Mississippi, no later than 1834, and possibly as early as 1832 / 1833, all depending possibly on the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek. It's possible that Mary and Allan got married as they were loading the wagons. The 1840 census in Mississippi on them should help pinpoint the year of marriage, assuming the age / birth of the first child was valid. If it's valid for 1831, I would be so bold as to assume the same for Isaiah. 4. As for Isaiah and wife, my bet is that they indeed got married, didn't bother with the returns to the civil authority, but then what? I don't know if this is your Isaiah or not (probably not?), but I'm here to tell ya, I believe this Isaiah, my Solomon, and Anne Wise's Jehu, and possibly others, are all connected, at least in time, and in place (county), and probably in blood one way or another. 5. Only problem with your Jehu, Anne, is that he doesn't show up in Lincoln County TN like all the rest of my gaggle (Solomon, Reuben, Benjamin, Larkin, Charles, William, possibly a Thomas and a James, and possibly a second Reuben or Charles, depending on how one tries to read in to this stuff). Him coming out of Dickson County, TN, is troublesome for me. 6. However, the birthing of Jehu's children is very consistent in time with Solomon, Reuben, and William. I don't recall for the others, but they were all pretty much living out their lives in Alabama: Marion/Fayette Counties, Green or Marengo Counties, and in the case of Solomon, Marion/Fayette, Tuscaloosa, and Perry Counties. 7. THEORY: I have a theory, relatively unfounded, but an idea nevertheless (listers: please feel free to shoot at it): Solomon may have moved to Perry because he or his wife inherited land there, or he pre-knew the area from roadbuilding, or he knew other Stewarts there (such as Isaiah or Jehu or other?). He left Perry for Mississippi seemingly just as soon as the 1832 indian treaty cleared the way for land buying. Appears that the Allan Avery / Mary H. Stewart family went as well. a. 1830 Tuscaloosa census: Solomon is not there. He had been in Tuscaloosa since about 1823/1824, and lo, he's not there anymore. My aunt rooted around the LDS data on the neighboring counties and found Solomon in Perry County. Why did he move? Why did he buy land up in northern Perry County. b. 1830 Tuscaloosa census: Benjamin, a purported brother of Solomon, and to whom Solomon sells / transfers land (up in the Northport area I believe), Benjamin, who married a Nancy Pullam (others spell it Pullun, and I believe her middle initial may have been W.; and she was not able to sign her name as a co-seller on a land sale of Benjamin's), well, as I noted in an earlier email this month, Benjamin had an elderly female living with him. This presumably would be granny Pullam or granny Stewart (or remotely possible: granny Hogins/Hogan... Solomon's wife's mom). c. 1830 Perry census: As I recall, the data on Solomon and his family matched very well. d. I don't have the data handy on the land buy that Solomon did, but I want to say it was in 1829 or so, and I believe it plotted out in northern Perry County, almost a stone's throw to the backside of Tuscaloosa, and I at one time considered the road coming out of Tuscaloosa called Hargraves/Hargrove Road, that I wanted to say ran over to Perry County. e. SUMMARY OF THEORY: I wish to believe that Solomon wound of buying or inheriting land either because of death of his dad, or the death of his wife's dad. My spinoff / derivative of this theory is that perhaps Solomon pre-knew the area, perhaps maybe he was involved in building the Hargraves/Hargrove road. When I plotted the land for Solomon in Tuscaloosa, it being "the land upon which said Solomon Stewart currently resides", I was actually in Tuscaloosa at the time, and it plotted out on the Hargrave/Hargrove Road. If he had been involved in roadbuilding they were usually required to help by providing their 'hands' (slaves) to build the road near or next to their land / plantation. I never saw any Tuscaloosa mini-court records that showed that, though. 7. (Benjamin, by the way, appears to have been in Bibb County for whatever reasons in 1818, and was assisting in roadbuilding toward the north, as I recall from the records I researched. He seems to show up, however, with the rest of his brothers by 1823 in Fayette County, buying land and/or residing there.)

I remember corresponding with you about the Perry Co. Stewarts. Do you have a birthdate for Isaiah? This is a long shot, but the 1830 census record of my ancestor, Jehu Stuart in Perry Co., AL has some mysterious unknown people on it. I do not have an 1820 census record for Jehu, because I believe he was on the move that year from Dickson Co. TN to Perry Co.,AL. A deed record selling his land in Dickson Co.,TN in 1820 shows that he was already in Perry Co., AL at that time, probably just missed the census taker. Here is the breakdown of Jehu Stuart's 1830 census record as best as I can figure: 1830 Perry Co.,AL pg. 45 Jehu Stewart 2 males under 5 -- Manuel L. Stuart and Thomas B. Stuart 1 male 10-15 -- Andrew Jackson Stuart b. abt. 1814 1 male 20-30 -- UNKNOWN 1 male 30-40 -- UNKNOWN 1 male 50-60 -- Jehu Stuart b. 1770-1780 1 female under 5 -- Possibly Catherine Stuart b/d unknown 1 female 10-15 -- Emily Stuart b. abt. 1814 1 female 40-50 -- Rosanna ??? b. 1778 I have no ideas who these unknown males are. I have no marriage record for Rosanna and Jehu Stuart. Do you have record of Isaiah in 1830? Any ideas who these males might be? There is no mention of any other males in Jehu's family in his will or in a family bible so these 2 young men are a mystery. Sincerely, Anne S. Wise [email protected]

Hi all: Who is this Ben F. Eddins that has been on the internet lately? What was his sins? Did he have parents and grandparents? Look what happened to him on the night of 3 April 1865 down on the ole covered bridge that connects Northport and Tuskaloosa! What does his old broken headstone down in Greenwood Cemetery tell us? IT TELL ME THAT HE IS A COMPATRIOT!!! TO Locate INFORMATION ON BENJAMIN F. EDDINS please go to the Tuscaloosa Public Library located on River Road and Queen City Avenue, please go inside and go up the stairs which can be seen as you enter. As you leave the steps, please look around and then go to the desk that you see and ask someone where is the genealogy section. They should point you to the front left of the library. If you decide to go over there, please go between one PM and three PM as that is the time the volumber, Mrs Billie Lockhart, is there to help and answer your information. If she is not there then please ask the person at the desk in the corner of the room? If no one is there then please return to the desk at the top of the stairs from which you just left. If they do not know the answer then go around asking some one until you locate some one that does.
