Hi Teresa, According to my aunt, the line, at least up through my Solomon, presumably higher, were "stong Presbyterians". That would go back to 1700s. After Solomon died, and after the Civil War, I find one of Solomon's daughters, at an elderly age, is a "Charter Member" of Scooba Baptist Church in Scooba, Kemper County, Mississippi. Beyond that, I have no other clues, except........ - Walter Harkins married, possibly in SC or LCT TN, Johanna Stewart, supposed sister of Solmon and his other brothers. No info on him and how he and Johanna lived out their lives after leaving LCT TN and moving to Fayette Co, AL. - There appears to be definite ties between (in LCT TN and probably before) Stewarts, McConnells, CLements, Harkins, possibly Wrights, Burfords, perhaps one can discern from an analysed gaggle of folks whether or not they were all of the same persuasion and moved to LCT en masse. - Other interesting things (with respect to potential gaggles) are: a. the AL 1816 Monroe County census with a gaggle of Stewarts (including Solomon) [BTY, for the first time in 15yrs, I saw on the web some of the census details of this territorial census, with Solomon showing exactly what he would have had at that time Himself, Wife, son under 21, two daughters under 21, which fits with Orrin, Mary, and Czarina. Also showed 4 colored, but I wasn't sure if they were of color free or slaves.] Now, was he in LCT on his land or not, or did the Monroe County, AL 1816 accidently extend into LCT TN south of Fayetteville? hmmmmmm..... b. the 1817Alabama Terrority petion signed by Judge Harry Toulmin (with dozens of sigs incl Solomon) c. the 1818 Seminole War military docs (with Solmon seen as related to Fort/Camp Montgomery) Here they are supposed to be in LCT all this time, yet seemingly accounted for elsewhere. Squatters? Thoughts? cheers, Dick Stewart Colorado ----- Original Message ----- From: DORISS To: RMS Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2003 5:42 PM Subject: Re: The Petersburg Volunteers, 1812-1813 - Roster Dick, I think I have seen this before, must be Dinwiddie Co VA. Your Rueben went to Pendelton Co SC and then to AL, may have stopped off in GA. Do you know what religion Charles and Johanna were? What churches did this line go to? I am trying to figure out if they were Presbyterian, I think more than half of Cumberland Co was. This was real Tory country. Almost all it's inhabitants were Scottish and very loyal to the Crown or England. Mine were Methodist Episc. James line in VA were Baptist. On the 1784 Johnston Co Nc tax list I find Charles Jr and SR. I know of NO STEWARTS in Johnston CO.
