Research Notes

• The 1910 census indicated that she had given birth to only 1 child at that time and that only 1 was living. Her son Frederick appeared in that census with her, so he was her first born (and possibly her only child).
• The 1921 census showed her widowed and her son Frederick was still living with her - and no other sons or daughters.
• Therefore, it appears that Fred A. Stuart (1874), Winifred Higgins (Stuart) Ledford (1877), and Mabel Stevens Stuart (1880 - 1904) are not children of Herbert A. Stuart (abt. 1870 - bef. 1921) and Faye Margaret (Coldwell) Stuart (1873).
