I am searching for information on the STUART/STEWART family of early Williamson County. I found the following, if you have any more info, please contact me. >From the book, "Historic Williamson County, Old Homes and Sites:" page 101-102 "Also in the City Cemetery are the remains of Judge Thomas STUART. Born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, June 11, 1762, Judge STUART was the son of John and Ann STUART who were in Davidson County early in 1790. Thomas STUART married Margaret LAREMORE (1760-1835), evidently in Lancaster County before they came here with his parents. John STUART (1725-1799) is buried south of Grassland, the Jeff MORAN home on Hillsboro Road, and presumably his wife is buried beside him. Judge STUART left directions in his will that tombstones be erected at his parents' graves but his mother's has disappeared. Thomas STUART was elected first Judge of the Fourth Circuit District, which included Williamson County, in 1809 and served until the adoption of the new constitution in 1836. His marker records that "he was a man of sound mind and of solid learning, an able jurist, an upright judge, and a true Christian - the highest style of man." His portrait hanging in the War Memorial Building in Nashville was given tot he Tennessee State Bar Association in recognition of his prominence in jurisprudence in early Tennessee. He is thought to have served longer than any judge in the state. The STUART homesite was about two miles from town on the Nashville Pike where he owned considerable property. The STUART'S had no children. Judge STUART had a brother, Robert, who died in Logan County, Kentucky in 1806 and a sister Janet (1764-1848) who married Henry KEY. Judge STUART died October 16, 1838. Margaret Laremore Stuart is buried by her husband."
Here is the main page for the 1878 District Boundary map. You can go from here to each district. http://www.tngenweb.org/williamson/history/1878map.html The maps are all about the same scale. They are not complete but at least a good start. Also, here again is the link to the 1836 District Boundary map. http://www.tngenweb.org/williamson/history/WmCoDst1836Map.html Noel
