Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 7th ed., 1887,
Campbell Co.

J. N. STEWART, county superintendent of schools of Campbell County, is a
native of Harrison County, Ky., and is the second in a family of four
children born to W. H. and E. A. (Webb) Stewart.  W. H. Stewart was born
in Indiana, and Mrs. Stewart, a native of Harrison County, Ky., was a
daughter of Rev. Charles and Elizabeth (Davis) Webb, the latter a relative
of Jefferson Davis, of Confederate fame.  J. N. Stewart was educated in
the schools of his native county, and, with the single purpose of
becoming a teacher, he began teaching at the age of seventeen, and taught
fourteen successive years, until declining health caused him to withdraw
his efforts from this, his favorite vocation.  He began the study of law
in 1880, and was admitted to the bar in 1884, in the county where he is
now practicing law, and superintending the common schools.  Mr. Stewart
married Ella Richey, of Walton, Boone Co., Ky., daughter of Milton P.
and Mary E. (Bruce) Richey, December 27, 1877.  To them have been born
three children: Virgil, Ethel and Myrtle.  Mr. Stewart is a Democrat in
politics, and a member of the Baptist Church.
