James Stewart married Isbella Senter before 1837 and married Isabella McNeill as second wife. James settled in Gibson County, Tennessee

Neil McNeill Stewart was a son of James.

Who's Who in Tennessee 1911 STEWART, Neil M. farmer; born near Raleigh N. C., Feb. 1, 1844; Scotch-Irish descent; son of James and Isabella [McNeil] Stewart; father's occupation farmer; paternal grandparents David and Rebecca [Avant] Stewart; maternal grandparents Neil and Lucy [Knight] McNeil; ------

Humboldt Courier [TN] Newspaper- February 24, 1927--Front page--Premier Citizen and Confederate Veteran Passes-- Maj. Neal M. Stewart 83, died in Oklahoma City Hospital on February 22. He was visiting his son John and planned to go on to Dallas to visit more sons. His body was returned to Humboldt to the residence of John M. Senter, a relative. Burial in Rose Hill. He was a resident since young manhood and came here in the early 60s from North Carolina with Captain N.A. Senter who was related and a neighbor in North Carolina and in Gibson County. Both served with Forrest. He moved to Fruitland and was an old-line Democrat and Presbyterian. He is survived by sons Ernest of Dallas, James T. of Fruitland, John of Oklahoma City, Neal of Dallas and daughter Mrs. John Cude.

--In my notes -- N. A was Neill Alexander Senter born Nov. 1838 in Cumberland County, North Carolina. He was the son of J.M. Senter and Flora McNeill.

Avant-53 and Avent-109 appear to represent the same person because: It would appear that this is the same person and also the same spouse Henry Senter (1760 - 1832) who also has an entry on the Daughters of the American Revolution website.

Problem is the extra child added named Willis Center. Rebecca could not have given birth to him when she was 60 years old and also when her husband was deceased.

I removed Willis Center of Kentucky. There's no sources plus his mother would have been 2 years old to give birth to him!
