Notes - Obituary: "Mr. James A Stewart, formerly a citizen of this county, died on Tuesday last, at the residence of his son in law, J. Burrus McGehee. Before the war Mr. Stewart was one of the largest planters in the State, and he was a man of great energy and ability. Of late years, he made his home with his children near Laurel Hill. The remains were buried at the family burial ground on the Stewart place near Mount Pleasant. Thus, has passed away another of the old-time planters and gentlemen, whose influence moulded the institutions and social life of the South. We tender to the family our respectful sympathy." (The Woodville Republican, 1 Sep 1883)
In 1860, James owned 79 slaves ranging in age from infants to 90-years-old.
In 1866, James A. Stewart applied for and received a Presidential Pardon from President Andrew Johnson alleging that he never participated in the hostilities of the American Civil War.
