My best advice for locating "hard to find" people, would be to trace family members, such as siblings etc. Sometimes that will get you a clue to whereabouts or related surnames. My Steward/t line has also been quite a challenge, and I am still trying to track down some of them that disappeared after the 1850 census. John Mattingly and Martha Stewart family in 1910: Name: John Mattingly Age in 1910: 45 Estimated birth year: abt 1865 Birthplace: Kentucky Relation to Head of House: Head Father's Birth Place: United States of America Mother's Birth Place: Kentucky Spouse's name: Martha Mattingly Home in 1910: Remy, Campbell, Tennessee Marital Status: Married Household Members: Name Age John Mattingly 45 Martha Mattingly 34 Nora May Mattingly 15 KY Coral Mattingly 4 KY Maggie Mattingly 10/12 TN Henry Steward 22 KY ** ANOTHER Steward/t living with them, this one is listed as "son" but I don't think that would be the case. Seems like it should be a brother, like the ones in 1920 I mentioned. ----- A little more searching of the trees. I think there are some discrepancies with this family and some may have the wrong Martin attached. In any case, it doesn't look like this would be your family. I found them in 1880, but if your James E. Stewart was born in 1892, none of these match For reference: Name: Martin Steward Home in 1880: Bushs, Laurel, Kentucky Age: 31 Estimated birth year: abt 1849 Birthplace: Kentucky Relation to head-of-household: Self (Head) Spouse's name: Rhoda J Steward Father's birthplace: Kentucky Mother's birthplace: Kentucky Occupation: Laborer Marital Status: Married Race: White Gender: Male Household Members: Name Age Martin Steward 31 Rhoda J Steward 30 Isabel Steward 11 Sally A.
