BIOGRAPHY: John J. Stewart is listed on the 1764-1765 lax lists of Rowan County, North Carolina and the 1771 tax list of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. On 26 October 1765, he sold his land in Rowan County, North Carolina and moved to Macklenburg County, North Carolina, which land he sold in 1775 prior to moving to the North Fork of the Holston River on the Tennessee/Virginia border.
BIRTH: The 1759, 1761, and 1768 tax lists of Rowan Co., North Carolina are use to determine the birth order of the children. The 1759 tax list records Samuel with his two adult sons, David and John Stewart. The 1761 tax list records Samuel with his sons; David, John, Samuel, Joseph and Isaiah. The 1768 tax list records Samuel with David, John, Joseph, Isaiah and Benjamin, the baby in the family. Researcher: Joyce Lindstrom.
John sold the land he inherited from his father 26 Oct. 1765 in Rowan Co., N.C. prior to moving to Mecklenburg Co., N.C. This land he sold in 1775. William served in the Revolutionary War and he states in his pension application that he was living in Scott Co., Va. at that time. So, it's possible his parents may have moved there after leaving Mecklenburg Co., N.C. Researcher: Joyce Lindstrom
There is a variation on birth place: Scotland, Ireland.
