• Notes

  Duncan is not listed in Stewart Clan Magazine as one of the children of Charles Stewart and Polly Jones. On 26 Jan 1832, Duncan entered into a business partnership with his brother Charles to share ownership and management of the family farm on behalf of their elderly father (who would have been 71). (See notes on brother Charles for details.) On 8 July 1833, the agreement was ratified in front of witnesses to affirm the clauses of inheritance in the event of the death of one of the parties. This attestation was signed only by Charles Stewart Junr. Duncan's will was registered on 25 Aug 1833 and probated in September 1833, thus it would appear that Duncan in early September 1833. Duncan is cited in a posthumous slave ad: "Stewart, Duncan (Dec'd owner) The property of Stewart "except his slaves and his cotton" was to be sold by his administrator, John Netterville, on November 7th at Stewart's late residence.
