STEWART, Catharine m. BEAZLEY, Charles, Spotsylvania Co. Va c.1830 Any information extending or expanding this family would be greatly appreciated. Catharine Stewart, born Apr 19, 1800 probably in Spotsylvania Co. Va, died Aug 31,1868, Crawfordville, Taliaferro Co. Ga. She was daughter of John Stewart. b. Aug 1769, d. Oct 19, 1849. I found a sheet of stationery in a family Bible giving John Stewart and Catharine's names, birth and death dates. So far I have nothing else that ties them to one another. The Stewart Clan Magazine has John 6 Stewart (Thomas, 5, John 4) born about 1769 in Spotsylvania Co. Va, married there Aug 22, 1796 to Frances Straughan according to a D.A.R. Magazine Mar/Apr 1915 inquiry. John resided in St. George's parish and died Oct 14, 1849, aged 80 years. He left descendants. – SCM D:85. Thomas Steward, born about 1739, married Elizabeth __. He lived in Spotsylvania Co., and is said to have been a soldier in the Revolutionary war, SCM B:162. He died Apr 23, 1819, in Spotsylvania Co. Among his children were John, listed above and Robert. SCM D:77 Thomas Steward, (4th child of John 4 Steward, b about 1700, m. Rosamond __ ) married Feb. 1772, Elizabeth Hume (or Holmes), King George Co). SCM D:75 Also in SCM B:162 a Benjamin Steward born about 1764, married Dec 24, 1790 in Spotsylvania Co., Dorothy Straughan. She was daughter of Reuben Straughan and sister of Elizabeth. Charles Beazley, born about 1800, died Jan 1, 1863, Crawfordville, Taliaferro, Co. GA. One tradition is that Charles was the son of Jon Beazley, born in England, settled in Virginia and later moved to Georgia. And, he was married twice. The other predicament is that in this period Spotsylvania, Caroline, Orange and Essex Counties were crawling with Beazleys. There appear many candidate parent lines available for Charles to have called his own. Charles is listed as born in Va. by the 1850 census. Charles Beazley married Catharine Stewart about 1830, together they had the following children: >Frances Beazley, married W. A. Overton >John Stewart Beazley, b.
