Thanks a bunch, Michelle. I've seen this Judge Wm. Stewart before on OK sites. He's close enough to where my Stewart's were to possibly be related. But, as with any lead I get, I don't get anywhere! Oh, well. Also, have found just recently that YORK is name that shows up alot in Choctaw/Chahta records. I need to put a link to the the Choctaw Nation website on my site.
