Surnames: Stuart/Stewart/Peugh/Holloman Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Dd.2ADI/702.709.712.1 Message Board Post: I am descended from branches of the Stuarts that stayed in Upson. The name seems to have changed from Stuart to Stewart around the time of the Civil War. There were people in Upson born as Stuarts, but buried as Stewarts, so they are the same family. As for which family, there was the David Stewart family, but I am descended from Joseph A. Stuart, son of Hugh Blair Stuart and Rebecca Peugh. This family moved to the Upson area from Jasper County, Ga. I have not been able to find a connection between the families of David Stewart and Joseph Stuart. According to the "Langford Letter" Hugh Blair Stuart was the son of a John Stuart and Susan Holloman, probably back in Virginia Colonial days.
