BIOGRAPHY: Samuel Stewart was born 3-15-1781, in Washington Co., TN., (now Overton Co.). He was the son of Joseph Stewart & Sarah Gilbert Stewart. Samue married Mary (Polly) Kitchen or Kitchner about 1799 in Washington Co., TN after it became a state. Mary was born 11-10-1783, but it is not known where she was born. Census records of Overton Co. indicate that there was a Kitchner family living there but it is not known if she was related to them. The dates of birt of both Samuel & Mary are recorded in the Stewart Family Bible. On 8-18-1816, grant to Samuel Stewart from the State of TN was recorded. This grant was for 50 acres and was in the 3rd Dist. & 11th Sect. in Overton Co., TN. The grant had originally been surveyed & granted to Wm. Mitchell on 7-31-1807. On 8-2-1822, Samuel recorded a grant from the State of TN for 30 acres. This gran was originally issued to Stephen Copeland on 9-22-1809 (Grant No. 12169). The location of this property was along the Roaring River & a number of land transactions used this land in describing adjoining property. Part of this lan was sold by John Gilbert Stewart in 1838 & at the time it was still in the name of Samuel Stewart. The remaining part was sold in 1849 by Joshua Stapp & it also was still in the name of Samuel Stewart. Since title to the land had not changed, it would be a logical assumption that they had received this land by inheritance. This is only speculation because no Will has been found. The Overton Co. Courthouse burned during the Civil War & many of the records were destroyed. Samuel probably died before April of 1824 because at that time Joshua Stapp obtained property that adjoined the 30 acre tract of Samuel Stewar and it mentioned "where the Widow Stewart now lives". Census records of 1830 lists Mary Stewart as head of a household. Some of the children of Samuel & Sarah are mentioned in a Bible notation in the Stapp Family Bible as Sarah who married Joshua Stapp & Uncle John, Uncle Ben & Uncle Sam. These three uncles 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 & Mary Stewart. Cicero lost th election for sheriff to Les Dow but the Commissioners 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 Office for 18 years. He was instrumental in breaking up the Black Jack Ketchum gang in Aug. & Sept. of 1899, capturing Ezra Lay (McGinnis) & Black Bob McManus. Ketchum was captured and sentenced to hang When the hanging finally took place, he had gained so much weight while in jail that his head was literally jerked from his body as he dropped from the gallows
DEATH: Samuel must have died sometime between 1820 & 1824. No records indicat when or where Mary died. It is assumed both Samuel & Mary died in Overton Co. both were buried in the old Roaring River Cemetery, Overton Co., TN.
