(1892) NATHANIEL P. STEWART, at present a resident of Wells Township, Tuscola County was born August 27, 1823, in Orange County, N. Y. He is a son of Luther and Maria Stewart. The former was born in 1791 in Orange County, N. Y., and was a farmer by occupation. He received his education in the common schools of his native State and was married to Maria Papino when twenty years of age. As the years passed by they became the parents of twelve children, five of whom are still living. They are: Daniel, who is a resident of Buffalo, N. Y.; DeWitt lives in Tioga County, Pa.; James A. is a resident of Chicago, Ill.; Nathaniel P., and Levia, who resides in Tioga County. The original of our sketch began to make his own living at the age of sixteen years, when he learned the carpenter's trade. He pursued his calling closely for twenty years and in 1868 he removed from New York to Michigan, locating at once upon his present farm in Wells Township. He built one of the first houses that were erected in this township and is therefore one of its earliest settlers. He has frequently been called upon to hold local office and has filled the position of Justice of the Peace, Pathmaster, School Director and other offices. He and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church hi which they are both efficient and earnest workers. Our subject was united in marriage with Miss Julia Hubbell, a daughter of Charles B. and Anna A. (Metler) Hubbell, their nuptials being solemnized December 28, 1858. To them have been born eight children, four of whom are yet living. They are: Hattie L., Charles L., George E., and J. Addell. Hattie is now the wife of John W. Viekers, of Tuscola County. The other children still reside at home. Mrs. Stewart was born July 1, 1839. Her parents were married in 1833 and she was one of seven children that comprised the home circle; six of these are still living. They are: Samuel, Lucy. Julia A., Charles H., John E. and Edward L. Charles Hubbell served both in the Florida War under Zachary Taylor and in the late Rebellion.
