Biography

Elizabeth Stewart was born to Thomas Stewart and Margaret Stewart, his 1st cousin, about 1754.

Elizabeth never married and had no children, but inherited property from her father’s estate. ^[1][2]

Elizabeth sold the property she inherited with the help of Thomas Carraway and Charles Stewart.

Elizabeth Stewart, then most likely moved to Montgomery County, Tennessee, with other close family that accompanied her.

Elizabeth was born about 1754. She passed away after 7 April 1812.^[3]

It is stated in family records that Elizabeth never married and died an old maid. As a consequence to never marrying, she inherited some of her father’s estate. Elizabeth sold some of this property and moved to Tennessee with her cousins, the sons of William Stewart in 1801. ^[4]

• Little Peedee River was sometimes called Drowning Creek. In later years, after maps were revised, the name seemed to apply only to the upper course of Lumber (Indian, Lumbee) River. Charles20 Stuart (Elizabeth19, Patrick18, Alexander17, Patrick16), born about 1775 in Cumberland or Robeson County, North Carolina, apparently was living with his mother in Robeson County when the census of 1790 was taken. He and Thomas Carraway of Cumberland county bought Aug, 20, 1800, of James Stuart of Adams County, Mississippi Territory, for $2000, 960 acres of land in Robeson County in various tracts -- 300 acres on the upper or south side of Drowning Creek which John Cole had conveyed Jan. 9, 1779, "to James Stuart, Senr., father of the above-named James"; 300 acres on the north side of Ashpole Swamp at a branch called the Mill Branch which John Cole had conveyed Jan. 9, 1779, to James Stuart, sr.; 160 acres on the north side of Ashpole swamp which Jesse Boward had sold Sep. 17, 1777, to James Stuart, sr.; 100 acres on the west side of Drowning Creek* and on the north side of Ashpole Swamp, granted Nov. 12, 1779, to James Stuart, sr., and adjoining the other tract; 100 acres on the east side of Ashpole swamp on the Bane Island, granted Nov. 11, 1779, to James Stuart, sr., adjoining his other tract; and 100 acres on the east side of Ashpole Swamp granted Oct. 10, 1787,+ to James Stuart, sr. The witnesses to the deed were James Carraway, Hugh McLachlan and C. S. Carraway, the last evidently being Charles Stewart Carraway, protégé of his grandfather, Patrick Stewart. Charles, signing his name Charles G. Stuart, and Thomas Carraway of Cumberland County deeded May 2, 1801, three of these tracts -- 300 acres -- to Giles Williams for $1000, and deeded the other three tracts -- 360 acres -- to Absalom Williams for $1000, the witnesses to both deeds being George Moore and Benjamin Lee. It is highly probable that Charles Stuart, Thomas Carraway and William Jordan, accompanied by the aging Elizabeth Stuart, then moved to Montgomery County, Tennessee
