• Notes

  In a later 1957 article, Stewart Clan Magazine says: James Stuart, born in Sep. 23, 1767, "on Cape Fear River in North Carolina," married in Natchez, Mississippi [then West Florida], May 25, 1796, Lucretia Calvit, who was born Aug. 6, 1778, daughter of Frederick [and Mary] Calvit. The name was not Calvert, as spelled on page 188, but Calvet, or Calvitt, of French origin, as ascertained by Mrs. E. Kittredge Sims of Shreveport, La., a descendant. The family record said that James Stuart was a son of James and Elizabeth Stuart, which clinches his parentage. How he got from the place of his birth to the place of his marriage, at the age of 28 years, is a mystery. It would seem that his father, who owned several tracts of land in Robeson County, North Carolina, died before the abrogation of the English law of primogeniture by the state of North Carolina, for the younger James assumed title to the land and, excepting what his mother had sued for and got, he sold it Aug. 20, 1800, to Thomas Carraway (his brother-in-law) and Charles Stewart. His son James Duncan Stuart was called godson in the will of John Roberts of Adams County, Mississippi, dated Nov. 15, 1802, who gave him, after the death of his wife Mary Roberts, several slaves and other property which Roberts had inherited from his grandfather, William Duncan of Culpeper County, Virginia. Roberts' wife Mary was the widow of Frederick Calvit, father of Lucretia. James20 Stuart died Sep. 24, 1824, aged 78 years, at his plantation in Wilkinson County, Mississippi, and Lucretia died July 11, 1832. A list of their children was given in the Stewart Clan Magazine, tome E, page 236. (above) (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, April 1957, vol. 34, no. 10, pp.194-196.)
