Notes - Census records consistently indicate that Jeanette was born in 1783 in Scotland, although her parents were both American born. As her father, Capt. Jock Stewart, was a British Loyalist, it seems likely that they fled back to Scotland after the American Revolution and did not return to American until years later when it was safe to do so.
According to family records Jeannette married on 25 DEC 1808 at the residence of Lovick Ventress in Tennessee, USA, to James Ventress, b 1778 in Virginia, USA, d 8 FEB 1867, younger brother of Lovick Ventress (husband of Janett's sister, Elizabeth Stewart).
Family records indicate that Jeanette was the daughter of Capt. Jock Stewart by his first wife (un-named) who died when Jeanette was an infant. Jeanette was then raised by Lovick Ventress and his wife Elizabeth Stewart (Jeanette's aunt). Jeanette grew up and married Lovick's younger brother, James Ventress.
In 1850 James and Jeanette were residing in District 13, Robertson County, Tennessee, USA.
In 1860 James and Jeanette were residing in Western Division, Robertson County, Tennessee, USA
