Person:James Stewart (277)

Baby James was probably born out of wedlock as James Sr. and Mary are enumerated in the 1860 census' with their respective parents. He appears to have died sometime between census. He would probably have been buried at the "Negro Cemetery" in Brushy Fork, but the stones no longer stand there.
