Stewart<\/strong>, a farmer of the Eleventh District of Lauderdale County, was<br \/>\nborn in North Carolina, December 10, 1831, and is a son of Spencer and<br \/>\nElizabeth (Hurley) Stewart. The father was born in 1804, and moved to McNairy<br \/>\nCounty, Tenn., in 1833, where he farmed until his death in 1845. The mother<br \/>\nwas also a native of North Carolina, born in 1806, and died in 1873. Our<br \/>\nsubject is of Scotch-Irish descent. He was raised on a farm, and continued<br \/>\nfarming until 1857, when he became a traveling photographer until 1860; he<br \/>\nthen began merchandising in McNairy County. When the war commenced he entered<br \/>\nthe Confederate service as second lieutenant of Company H, Fifty Second<br \/>\nTennessee Infantry; he remained with this company until May, 1862, and<br \/>\nreturned home, staying until 1863, when he joined the Nineteenth Tennessee<br \/>\nCavalry, Company E, and was appointed second lieutenant, and in 1864 was<br \/>\npromoted to captain of Company H, Nineteenth and Twenty-first Regiments. After<br \/>\nthe war he returned home, and ran a saw and grist-mill in connection with his<br \/>\nfarming until 1869. Since then he has given his attention entirely to<br \/>\nfarming. December 10, 1852, he married Miss Emily Hendricks, of McNairy<br \/>\nCounty, and they had two children: Sophronia E., who died in infancy, and<br \/>\nWilson A., who also died in infancy. Mrs. Stewart died in 1855, and<br \/>\nSeptember 1, 1861, he married Margaret F. Bryant, and by this marriage had ten<br \/>\nchildren, six of whom are living: Charley E., Lula S. (the wife of I. H.<br \/>\nJohns), Lizzie Ann, Nannie Marvin, Pearl I. and Ollie Reed. Mr. Stewart is<br \/>\nnow worth about &amp;6,000, the result of his own efforts and good management. He<br \/>\nstands well socially, and is an upright man, and with his wife belongs to the<br \/>\nMethodist Episcopal Church, and is a sound Democrat.<\/p>\n<p><em>Goodspeed&#8217;s Biographies of Lauderdale Co., TN <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James E.
