STEWART, M.D. Stewart, Shanklin, Darnall, Vaughan 11312 County of Christian, Kentucky; Historical and Biographical. Edited by William Henry Perrin. F. A. Battey Publishing Co., Chicago and Louisville, 1884. Pembroke District. EDWARD S. STUART, M.D. Among the able practitioners of medicine none is more worthy of a prominent mention in the history of Christian County than Dr. Edward S. Stewart, whose name heads this sketch. His grandfather was born in Hillsboro, N. C., in 1768, and died in Christian County in 1835. Samuel Stuart, the father of our subject, was born in North Carolina in 1800, and was brought to Christian County by his parents in 1806, and here died in 1833. His wife, subjects mother, was Elizabeth H., daughter of Edward Shanklin. She was born in Newmarket, Shenandoah County, Va., in 1800. She is the mother of William C. Stuart, who died in this county in 1866, and Dr. Stuart, the subject of this brief biography; he is a native of Christian County, born near Antioch Church, on the 21st of July, 1828; his early life was spent at home. In 1848 he came to Fairview and began the study of medicine under the preceptorship of Dr. H. W. Darnall, and remained until the winter of 1849, when he entered the St. Louis Medical College, and there graduated with the degree of M. D. in the spring of 1851. Upon leaving college he immediately entered upon the practice of his profession near Crofton, Ky., where he remained two years. In 1853 he removed to Fairview and entered into a partnership with his former preceptor, Dr. Darnall, and continued with him until 1858, and since that time has practiced alone. On the 1st of December, 1858, he married Miss Jane E., daughter of Hiram Vaughan. They had two children: May, born May 1, 1871; Willie, born September 13, 1877; the younger died in infancy. Dr. Stuart has met with great success in the practice of medicine and surgery, and has a splendid reputation as a physician and a gentleman. He is a Democrat in politics, never sought office, and often has been solicited for different offices, but firmly declined, believing it to be more consistent with his interest to stay at home and devote his time and attention to the duties of his home and practice. He is the owner of about 900 acres of land, when he rents, and which was accumulated by his industry and economy. For the past fifteen years, he has been High Priest of the Moore Chapter, No. 75, R. A. M., of Fairview. KYBIOGRAPHIES Archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index?list=kybiographies KYRESEARCH: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.kentucky.tips/mb.ashx
