Listers, Sometime back...probably in the last month, someone asked about Garretts and Stewarts. Today, I found some of my old Tippah Co. MS notes and offer the following for what they are worth. Deed Book V-p. 658, dated 8 Jan. 1860: Nancy Ray, Elizabeth STUART, Elenor GARRETT, Martha Elizabeth STUART, Nancy Elizabeth STUART, John Prather, Mary Prather to Matthew Miller, Sr. The spelling is STUART, not STEWART. I would remind you that the spelling of the Stewarts I have sought was spelled STEWART (Stewart, Stuart) in Old Pendleton District, but my line always spelled it STEWART. The clerk of deeds may have mis-spelled it on occasion. I hope this is of some help. Cordelia
This is the first time I have seen the Prather name other than listed as my grandmother on the John Stewart descendants, have you any information on Rachael Prather? I was told by my relatives that Nan Boggs was my G-grandmothers name, but the genealogist has Rachael Prather as my g-grandmother. I need to clarify which of these ladies is Mrs. James Harrison O'Bryant. My grandmothers name was Mattie M. O'Bryant Stewart. Do you have any information?
