Hi Pat, Ezekiel Stewart and Nancy McDorman were married in Greene County and living there in 1870 and 1880, but I didn't find them in Ash Grove in the 1900 census. I didn't find them in Lawrence County in 1900 either. Stuart, Ezekiel, and Nancy H. McDorman, mar. 9 Dec. 1868, by J. N. Bingham, J. P.

[NOTE: This is from a census transcription, but I am sure this is your Bryan and Alice Stewart.] You probably already have these tombstone inscriptions. At least you have the dates from the Bible.

B. and Alice Stewart, July 20, 1911 - Sept. 25, 1911 Infant daughter, Aug. 24, 1913 - Aug. 28, 1913 [NOTE: There is not a tombstone listed for Nancy, though I would expect that she was buried beside Ezekiel.] By the way Mrs. Celia Wilkerson, who witnessed the marriage, is Celia (Dean) Wilkerson, wife of Dr. William C. Wilkerson, both buried at Rock Prairie/Halltown Cemetery. Wilkerson, Dr. W.
