B. 1842, m. Absalom Vanmater Stewart 1862, d. 1881. She is listed as "a native of Darke County, OH" in "History of Nodaway Co (MO)", but I don't know if she was born there, or merely resided there at one point. I have no information on her parents or possible siblings. Husband Abasalom was a wagon and carriage maker in Hopkins, MO, before running for land when the Cherokee Strip (OK) opened in 1892. She is buried in the cemetery just north of Hopkins.
