Hi James Stewart b.1700 (location?). d.1761 Cumberland co.NC. Could have been born in Craven co. or Chowan co.NC. Living in New Bern,Craven co.NC. around 1720. Migrated to Cumberland co.NC. May have been a land owner and constable in Craven co.NC.in 1745-1750 Listed in court records thru 1755. Cumberland co.court records show land grants to his son John in 1755 and land deeded from John to his father in 1759. James's son John is shown as adminstrator to his estate in Cumberland co.NC.1761. Sales from the estate in late 1761 L49:11:1 and 1762 L69:18:4 I have other info on his decendants. My question is Could his parents have sailed into NC.prior to 1700 or migrated into the Craven co.(Chowan co.?)NC.area.What would have been the logical route prior to 1700? Could he and family have sailed/migrated into the area after 1700? Thanks for any help Gay Stewart Beam
