• Notes

  Around 1784, Joseph and his family and his brother, Benjamin, and other members of his family had settled in Overton county, Tennessee, on what is spoken of in the deed as "on Matthew’s Creek, on the banks of the Roaring River." It was about 1780 before Daniel Boone had moved into this area and had opened it up. There's a cemetery in this area called the "Roaring River Cemetery." Apparently there is a headstone that is still legible enough to read 'Stewart' on it, but it's unknown whether it was Joseph Stewart or his wife whose maiden name was Sarah Gilbert. They were married in North Carolina, or maybe prior to coming to North Carolina, in Virginia.
