Bill, Thanks for providing Dot's information. I didn't have anything on Stewart and it filled in some gaps for me. Did Dot provide any information or speculation on Thomas Summerell b. Bef 1755 and d. between 1820-1830 in Lenoir Co.? Thomas was in Lenoir Co. in 1800 and 1810 and it appears he had at least 4 sons. I've speculated he was the father of James who lived in close proximity in 1810 and1820 and of William Paul (father of Barnes Staton) who first appears in the 1820 census next to James and on the same page as Thomas. I haven't found Stewart, but he would have been the right age to be another son of Thomas. Thanks again. Sammy Pierce Hobe Sound, FL
