Wit: JOHN LEWIS and MARK WHITAKER, Senr. Reg: 6th December 1832. This land is just south of the community of Mimosa in Lincoln Co. This is almost certainly the husband of PEGGY(Margaret) STEWARD,STUART who is living in this vicinity in the 1830 census of Lincoln Co. Tennessee. Peggy was recorded as a widow in her 30's who had 3 males and 7 females in the household in that census. One of the males was over 20, otherwise, all others were under 20. It is possible that the oldest male could be a son-in-law. Known children were Mary M,b. 1822, Hettie, b. 1816 and Nancy b. ca 1820 all TENN. Sons were William and Calvin B. born in Mississippi in 1823 and 1825. It is thought that the family moved to Mississippi in around 1822, for the known daughters always were recorded as being born in TENN. and may well have been born on the land grant described above. The family moved to near Gibsonville, Giles Co. Tenn prior to 1845. All the known daughters married Hensons, son Calvin B. Stewart md. Mary Ann Henson in 1849, and William Stewart md. Elizabeth Gibson in about 1846. They moved on the Collin Co.Texas before 1880 and he as a widower moved later to Love Co. Okla. Anyone with possible interest in this line please email me.
