Notes
BIOGRAPHY: Samuel Stewart was born 3-15-1781, in Washington Co., TN., (n
ow Overton Co.). He was the son of Joseph Stewart & Sarah Gilbert Stewar
t. Samuel married Mary (Polly) Kitchen or Kitchner about 1799 in Washing
ton Co., TN after it became a state. Mary was born 11-10-1783, but it i
s not known where she was born. Census records of Overton Co. indicate t
hat there was a Kitchner family living there but it is not known if she w
as related to them. The dates of birth of both Samuel & Mary are recorde
d in the Stewart Family Bible. On 8-18-1816, grant to Samuel Stewart fr
om the State of TN was recorded. This grant was for 50 acres and was i
n the 3rd Dist. & 11th Sect. in Overton Co., TN. The grant had originall
y been surveyed & granted to Wm. Mitchell on 7-31-1807. On 8-2-1822, Sam
uel recorded a grant from the State of TN for 30 acres. This grant was o
riginally issued to Stephen Copeland on 9-22-1809 (Grant No. 12169). Th
e location of this property was along the Roaring River & a number of lan
d transactions used this land in describing adjoining property. Part o
f this land was sold by John Gilbert Stewart in 1838 & at the time it wa
s still in the name of Samuel Stewart. The remaining part was sold in 18
49 by Joshua Stapp & it also was still in the name of Samuel Stewart. Si
nce title to the land had not changed, it would be a logical assumption t
hat they had received this land by inheritance. This is only speculatio
n because no Will has been found. The Overton Co. Courthouse burned duri
ng the Civil War & many of the records were destroyed. Samuel probably d
ied before April of 1824 because at that time Joshua Stapp obtained prope
rty that adjoined the 30 acre tract of Samuel Stewart and it mentioned "w
here the Widow Stewart now lives". Census records of 1830 lists Mary Ste
wart as head of a household. Some of the children of Samuel & Sarah ar
e mentioned in a Bible notation in the Stapp Family Bible as Sarah who ma
rried Joshua Stapp & Uncle John, Uncle Ben & Uncle Sam. These three uncl
es would have been John Gilbert Stewart, Benjamin K. Stewart & Samuel K
. Stewart. The notation does not mention their brother David K. Stewart
. The Bible notation also mentions Cicero Stewart, Sheriff of Eddy Co.
, NM. This Miles Cicero Stewart was the Great Grandson of Samuel & Mar
y Stewart. Cicero lost the election for sheriff to Les Dow but the Commi
ssioners appointed him to fill the term of Dow who was shot by Dave Kemp
. After that appointment, he was re-elected & held the Sheriff's Offic
e for 18 years. He was instrumental in breaking up the Black Jack Ketchu
m gang in Aug. & Sept. of 1899, capturing Ezra Lay (McGinnis) & Black Bo
b McManus. Ketchum was captured and sentenced to hang. When the hangin
g finally took place, he had gained so much weight while in jail that hi
s head was literally jerked from his body as he dropped from the gallows
DEATH: Samuel must have died sometime between 1820 & 1824. No records i
ndicate when or where Mary died. It is assumed both Samuel & Mary died i
n Overton Co. Both were buried in the old Roaring River Cemetery, Overto
n Co., TN.
NOTES: Samuel Stewart along with his brothers John and Benjamin are list
ed on the 1802 Tax List of Jackson Co., Tennessee.
