Glenna 5, I have also been looking for the burial location of "Buff". I have been doing family research on this Stewart/Greer/Clark family group for the better part of 35 years and also been unable to find the burial location of "Buff". I tried several times to get information from the Texas Bureau of Prisons but their response was that their records do not include William Jefferson Stewart. Some time ago I was visiting with a friend of mine who works at the Library where the Archives are stored and he said he would take a look for me. He did find the records relating to "Buff" but his name was not listed as William Jefferson Stewart. At the moment I cannot remember what name was used but it was very close to his name and the records indicated that he was from Burnet Co. and his date of arrival was the correct date. The listing of his name could have been William James Stewart. Those records record his death dte, but do not record his place of burial. At that time records of burials in the State run cemetery for the Huntsville facility were not kept. I would strongly suspect that he was buried there in the Cemetery. Do you know where the nickname "Buff" came from? Here is what I have always been told. When he was a young teen ager, he tried to ride a young buffalo where they lived in the Williamson/Burnet Co. Area. I might add he was unsuccessful in his riding attempt, but the name stuck with him the remainder of his life.
