Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AW.2ADE/775.1.7.2.1.1.2.1 Message Board Post: Hello Geri, My name is Gary Telford and I publish a weekly column in the Woodruff County Monitor called "Family Roots" which is about the history of Woodruff County and history of the families who have lived and died here. I do have some information in my files regarding Mary Elizabeth Smith Stewart who was born November 1, 1854 in Missouri. She was married to Thomas P. Stewart on November 14, 1872 in Stoddard Co., MO. She died in Woodruff Co., AR June 11, 1921 and is buried in Fakes Chapel Cemetery, block A. north of McCrory, Woodruff Co., AR. Thomas P. Stewart was born 1847 in Kentucky. No other info. on Thomas P. Stewart. Children of this marriage were as follows and it may have been other children; (1) Rosella, born 1874 in Missouri (2) George William, born March 30, 1875 in Harrison, Boone Co., AR.He died March 18, 1955 and is buried in Fakes Chapel Cemetery, block B. He was married to Mary A. ?, who was born November 18, 1874 and died January 19, 1931 and is buried in Fakes Chapel Cemetery. I have one known child born to them and it may have been others; Herman C. Stewart, born March 6, 1905 and died December 24, 1968 in Cross Co., AR and is buried in Fakes Chapel Cemetery. He was married to Mariette ? who was born June 16, 1902 and died September 28, 1976 in Cross Co., AR and is buried in Fakes Chapel Cemetery. (3) Ellenie Stewart, daughter of Thomas P. and Mary E. Stewart, was born 1878 in Arkansas, no other info. (4) Amos Marion Stewart, son of Thomas P. and Mary E. Stewart was born May 20, 1885 in Woodruff Co., AR and died November 19, 1970 in Woodruff Co., AR, burial or spouse unknown. Obits are available for some of these but would require searching our old newspapers. Note: In 1880 Thomas P. Stewart, wife Mary E., and children, Rosella, George W. and Ellenia were in Summit, Boone Co., MO. Hope this helps you. Best regards, Gary Telford Family Roots Woodruff County Monitor
