Hi all, there is a shipping of the planned and accompished Heritage Book on Lincoln County, TN, and it's a BIG book. There are some Stewart / Stuart / Steuart data, including my summary, but other references as well to Stewart's marring Howell's, and more. It is so big that I have not had time to digest it, but I wish to alert you southern researchers to this issuance. Cheers from 6600 ft, Dick Stewart PS: Lauren, per our recent emails.

I am seeking information on my 3rd great-grandfather, Charles E Stewart. He died between the 1830 and 1840 census in Rankin County, MS. He was married to Elizabeth Tucker about 1820. She was born in 1802 in Scand died about 1851 in Rankin County, MS. They had 7 children. The 1830 census for Rankin County, MS contains the following: Stewart, Chas. E. - FWM = 1 (Under 5); 1 (5 - 10); 1 (10 - 15); 1 (30 - 40); 1 (60 - 70); FWF = 2 (Under 5); 1 (10 - 15); 1 (20 - 30); 1 (60 - 70). The male and female in the 60 - 70 age group are probably his parents, since Elizabeth's parents are also listed in Rankin County. A HISTORY OF RANKIN COUNTY MISSISSIPPI, Vol 1, Published by Rankin County Historical Society, Inc., pp. 86 - 88 contains the following: After the removal of the Choctaw Indians by treaty, John Long first purchased the land, of which the bluff (Stewart's Bluff) on the river was part, from the Federal Government. He then sold it to Charles E. Stewart and his wife Elizabeth. Since there were no other families by the name of Stewart in part of the county, this would have to be the Stewart family from which Stewart's Bluff took its name. Stewart's Bluff is identified in land records as being Section 3 of Township 4 North, Range 1 East. If you were in front of the First Baptist Church of Richland and started walking toward the west, following the quarter section line until you came to the river, then you would be standing upon Stewart's Bluff, later to be named Richmond. Stewart's Bluff was located on the river, and the road which already was established prior to 1829 ran from there to Westville. Westville, now extinct, at that time was the county seat of Simpson County and was located just northeast of Pinola. Roads at that time were very few in number, quite narrow and little more than dirt trails. On November 9, 1829, the Road Commissioners ordered that all roads in Rankin County that were opened after that date had to be opened up and kept at least ten feet wide. Primitive as it was, this Stewart's Bluff to Westville road was quite heavily traveled, with Stewart's Bluff being the terminus because of the river. At an unknown date, a ferry had been established there, thus solving the problem of getting from one side of the river to the other. Although there were other ferries in operation along the river, the ferry at Stewart's Bluff appears to be the one more heavily used. On October 28, 1829, it was ordered by the county officials that "the ferry at Stewart's Bluff on Pearl River be made and ordered by this Board a public Ferry " and was designated as Ferry No. 1. Rates were given at low water and high water, and rates were established for vehicles, men and animals. It was not until April 16, 1832 that the ferry at Jackson was designated as Ferry No. 2. April 16, 1832, is the first date to be found in our county records where the name Richmond is used to identify the settlement that had formerly been designated Stewart's Bluff. Br following the land description of the property owned by Charles E Stewart through the deed books, it has been determined that the town of Richmond was also located in Section 3 of Township 4 North, Range 1 East, and was in fact the same property. Verification of this may be found in Deed Records I, pages 120 through 149 and also in Deed Records II, pages 245, 246, 247, 282 and also page 369. These records prove that the town of Richmond, thought to be the first settlement in Rankin County, evolved from the settlement of Stewart's Bluff. In Deed Records I, on page 120 and dated April 19, 1830, Charles E. Stewart and his wife Elizabeth sold to John Long, Jr., Lot No. 2, which can also be described as the West 1/2 of the Northeast 1/4, a total of eighty acres, located in Section 3, Township 4 North, Range 1 East. Since this particular piece of property had first been identified as Stewart's Bluff while the Stewart family owned it, we can assume that after April 19, 1830, when they sold the property to John Long, Jr., family, the name "Richmond" was identified with the Long Family. I have been unable to find any additional information about Charles E Stewart and would appreciate any information. Don Stewart

Howdy All: This topic is now closed. Was not supposed to hit the list in the first place. The situation was being checked and resolved "behind the scenes" as administrative matters are meant to be.

Lauren and Dick, I think the list has been slow due to Christmas Holidays. Were all busy shopping, cooking,decorating, partying, and fighting bad traffic jams.

Hi all, I am posting this letter which a cousin of mine found. This man`s line has particpated in the Stewart DNA Project. I believe, the line is from Samuel Stuart and wife Jane Dickey of Orange CO NC. Some of this line ended up in Anderson CO SC. Teresa Stuart de Rios Letter of Capt. William S. Patterson Stewart William S. Patterson Stewart was born 12 April 1827 in Pendleton District, SC; moved to Tippah Co., MS. from SC before 1850 ; died there 20 February 1907; and is buried at Ebenezer ARP Cemetery near Cotton Plant (Old Tippah Co., now in Union Co., MS. He served in Co. I, 1st Bn. Miss. Infantry as a Captain. This letter was reprinted after the death of his daughter Anna Myrtle Stewart (b. 25 Nov. 1858; never married; died 5 Nov. 1929; she, too, is buried at Ebenezer ARP Cemetery. When the letter was printed in the local newspaper, it carried this caption: "Discovers Letter Written in 1862. Esquire L. D. Gassoway, RFD # 3, New Albany, MS. handed the following letter from Capt. Bill Stewart to his wife (Elizabeth Lucinda Black (b. 12 Nov. 1833 Wilcox Co., AL; died 27 January 1893; d/o David A. Black and Mary Audra Young Black; the information about Elizabeth Black Stewart does not appear in the letter; I add it only to clarify the names mentioned in the letter, csholem). She. too, is buried at Ebnezer." "The letter was discovered in his old papers following the death of his daughter, Miss Myrtle, lately deceased. We reproduce with pleasure." Bardstown, KY Sept. 28, 1862 Dear Lizzie, I will write you a few lines this beautiful Sabbath morning and it is just now time for you to start to church and now how I would like to be there to go with you. I don't think I would complain to have to drive the mules to the wagon as you know I formerly did. I think I have learned to be more patient and resigned to my lot. I wrote you a letter some four days since, to send by the individual that is to carry this and finding that Wat Stricklin was going home I sent it by him. I also sent by him One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to you which I hope you will get and use to the best advantage as your judgment may direct and your necessities may require. If Martha needs money, you pay her for Brindle. I payed Billie Wiseman $50.00. I owed him $48.00. We both wrote you and Sarah, directing you to count the interest, and settle acccordingly, you lifting the note. I have written two letters since the late battle at Mumfordsville, or rather Forts Craig and Dunham. As you will doubtless get the general account, I will confine myself to what concerns us most. Our Regiment attacked Fort Craig charging over fallen timbers where we got mixed up together and fought in this manner for nearly four hours. Billie was wounded early in the engagement. He was near Billie Liddell, and kept near him all the time. Myself and most of the boys were a good deal farther on near the fort and knew nothing of his or John Barkley, or Henry Owen, and others of our company, who were killed and wounded, until the battle was over. The boys who were with me were Daniel Gassaway, Ed McD. (think this was Ed McDaniel, csholem), Ben Norris, Sam Snell, Sam Jones, Ira Cole, W. W. Crum, Jack Dickson, James Keith, and Milton Richmond. It was awful to see the dear boys shot down there when they had but little chance to injure the enemy. Of those with me, Ed McD., Crum, Norris, Dixon and others were severely, but not mortally wounded, while my nearest man, Ira Cole, and James Keith both fell mortally wounded. Ira died that night at Cave City and Keith the next night. As you have heard, or will hear, we failed to take the fort. Under a flag of truce, we carried off our wounded and buried our dead. Truly it was a mournful sight to see men, 12 in number, bloody and mangled, wrapped in their blankets and laid side by side, in a long pit, covered with earth without a coffin. Lieut. Col. Bullard [note: James G.] was placed in first at the north end, then Lieut. Graham, then a Sargt., then Fayette Kelly, then Red Turner, then Thompson Johnson. We buried Ira Cole at Cave City the next day. I made his coffin with some assistance from my friend Sargt. W. O. Gassaway, Sam Jones, Daniel Gassaway and one or two others of the boys dug the grave. He was decently buried. Did not get to give Billie and the other wounded boys as much attention as I desired to, but I hope they will all get well. We feel very lonesome without these boys. There had grown up a powerful attachment between the Billies, Wiseman and Liddell. The latter appears very much lost now. The boys that are left feel very near to me, so far out here where we cannot hear from home, or the wounded either. I saw Samuel Black the other day, in fact I have seen him several times lately. He has grown very fast and fattened up too, and looks more and more like Pa. We made an effort to swap J. N. Harden for Sam but failed so far. We get a great many things to buy at a fair price, especially those who have the money to pay, and most of the people around here are willing to take Confederate money. I have heard two sermons today, from Rev. Miller, Chaplain of the 9th Regiment. He is a son of Thompson Miller and a relative of Cal Liddell's. He is a fine man, a Methodist minister. Dear children Irene,Selden and Myrtle, Papa thinks of you often and hope that you think of him. Talk to little Sallie for him. Love one another, and love Ma and obey her and God will bless you, is your Papa's daily prayers. W.P. Stewart (Note, daughter Irene was christened Mary Irene (b. 13 March 1854; d. 20 Dec. 1929; married James Harrison Snell (b. 15 April 1851 Mecklenburg Co., NC; d. 17 Oct. 1910). They are buried at Bethany ARP Cemetery at Brices Crossroads, Lee Co. MS. James Harrison Snell was the son of Samuel Amzi Snell (b. 16 March 1832; d. 5 Feb. 1886 near Lovelady, Houston Co., TX.) Sam Black referred to is Samuel Oliver Black, a younger brother of Capt. Stewart's wife. Sam enlisted at Orizaba, MS...attained the rank of Lieut....and was killed at Franklin, TN 30 Nov. 1864. His brother James Pressly Black was killed at Antitem (Sharpsburg) MD on the 17 September 1862. He, too attained the rank of Lieut. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Wayne, Lee, There was a Benjamin STEWART in Overton Co, in the early 1800's, or at least he's noted as having land there, say around 1808-1811 or so. Have you any information on Overton for those early years? Dick
