Notes:
James Stewart, born say 1750, was living in Brunswick County, Virginia, on 11 January 1774 when he and Littleberry Pompey of Sussex County purchased 270 acres in Meherrin Parish, to be equally divided between them as if two separate deeds had been made. He purchased 50 acres on the north side of the Maherrin River in Brunswick County adjoining Richard Branscomb and Thomas Evans on 23 November 1778 [DB 11:251-3; 13:280]. He was taxable in Meherrin Parish, Brunswick County, from 1782 to 1796 [PPTL 1782-98, frames 19, 206, 271, 325, 401, 497, 543]. On 26 January 1778 he and Littleberry Pompey and wife Nanny Pompey (James's sister?) sold 135 acres in Meherrin Parish, Brunswick County, adjoining Steward's Branch. And on 15 August 1792 James and his wife Sarah sold for 50 pounds 137 acres on Buckwater Creek in Meherrin Parish, Brunswick County, adjoining Dempsey Stewart's land [DB 13:45; 15:498]. He may have been the James Stewart who married Sally Evans, 2 May 1791 Warren County, North Carolina bond, Eaton Walden bondsman. James and his wife Sarah sued (his brother) William Stewart and his wife Keziah in Brunswick County on 23 November 1795, but the case was dismissed at the defendant's costs [Orders 1795-8, 1, 211]. He was head of a Wake County household of 6 "other free" in 1800 [NC:798]. By his Wake County will, proved in November 1824, he left his land to his children: Evans, Beedy (married James Walden), Mackey (married Joel Stuart), Tazewell, Dickson, Elijah, and Elisha [WB 19:130].

Notes:
Evans is a surname found in Bladen in 1168 and 1790.
David and Theophilus Evens were located in current Bladen in 1189.
Elizabeth Evans was located east of Great Swamp by 1780. In the 1850
census of Robeson they reported having been born in Richmond County by
1800. White (1988) feels that those named Evans possibly descended from
Saponi Indians living next to the plantation of Col. William Eaton in
Granville County in the 1750s. The name was given as mulatto in Robeson
but most carrying the name Evans have typically been White and Scottish as
found in north Robeson near St. Pauls. Name self-identified as Indian in the
1900 Census of Robeson and listed on the 1900 Indian Census Schedule.
Death records show the Indian name in 1954 in Maxton township. Cited at
New Prospect Methodist Church cemetery and elsewhere by Jane Blanks
Barnhill in Sacred Grounds, 2007, a listing of 162 Lumbee cemeteries in
Robeson County.

Rebecca1 Stewart, born say 1717, sued Charles Hix in Brunswick County, Virginia court in September 1738 for her freedom and a certificate for the same, but the court dismissed the case in February 1738/9 when she failed to appear. Hix was ordered to pay Douglas Irby as an evidence for one day and for coming and going fifty miles [Orders 1732-41, 203, 223]. She was living in Surry County, Virginia, on 17 July 1750 when the court ordered the churchwardens of Albemarle Parish to bind out her children: Moggy, Tom, Jack, Nan, Peter, and James [Orders 1749-51, 110]. Joseph Walker sued her in Brunswick County court on 22 June 1756. The jury found her not guilty on 23 February 1757 and ordered Walker to pay costs. She sued Daniel Clarke and Sylvanus Stanton for trespass, but both suits were dismissed by agreement of the parties on 28 February 1759. And her suit against William Evans was dismissed on 28 May 1760 by agreement of the parties [Orders 1756-7, 65, 128, 201-2; 1757-9, 300; 1760-84, 65]. She purchased 50 acres in Brunswick County on the south side of the Meherrin River and the north side of the Great Road from John Parham for 25 pounds on 26 September 1763, and she purchased 70 acres on Fox Branch from Kirby Moody on 16 April 1764 and sold this 70 acres to Moody on 6 June 1766.

She was called administratrix of the estate of Peter Moggy, deceased, on 27 March 1787 when Peterson sued her in Brunswick County court [Orders 1784-8, 463].

Notes:
STEWART FAMILY
The birth dates of this Stewart's children, coincide with the arrival of the Scottish slaves, shipped to the American colonies by the British, after the first Jacobite Rebellion.
The Stewart family probably originated near present-day Dinwiddie County since there were at least a dozen members of the family in that general area by 1730. No evidence has yet been located to indicate whether or not they were all related. There were several Stewart to Stewart marriages. William ("Sonkey") Stewart married Nancy, the daughter of Dr. Thomas Stewart of Dinwiddie County, about 1770, Doctor Stewart's brother James married Priscilla Stewart in Mecklenburg County in 1791, and a Thomas Stewart married the daughter of Peter Stewart before 1801 when he named her in his Chesterfield County will.
Dinwiddie was formed in 1752 from Prince George County which was formed in 1702 from Charles City County. All three are burned-record counties. However, the register of Bristol Parish from 1720-1789 contains records for Dinwiddie and Prince George counties, and the Prince George County court order books for the years 1710-1714 and 1737-1740 as well as wills and inventories for the years 1713-1728 have survived. These contain a number of references to mixed-race members of the Stewart family, but they also contain over thirty references to free, mixed-race people whose full names are not provided. One mixed-race child was called "a Moll. Boy named Wm" in 1725 when William Eaton petitioned the churchwardens of Bristol Parish to bind the child to him. He may have been identical to the "Mulatto Boy" William Stewart who was bound to Eaton by the churchwardens of Bristol Parish in 1739 [Chamberlayne, Bristol Parish Register, 24; Prince George County Orders 1737-40, 241].
