STUART, WOODARD, LOCKEY, TUCKER, SUMMERS, CLARK, McMULLEN



George STUART, farmer, whose birth occurred in North Carolina in March,

1814, is a son of Thomas and Sarah STUART.  The father of our subject was a

descendant of Irish ancestors, and was born in North Carolina.  He

immigrated to West Virginia and remained there until his death. The mother

was also born in North Carolina, and died in Moore County, Tenn.  Our

subject was reared on the farm, and received a rather limited education in

the schools of those early days.  He came to Tennessee with his widowed

mother when about seventeen years of age, and in 1831 married Harriet

WOODARD, a native of North Carolina, born in 1816, and the daughter of

William and Sarah WOODARD.  To Mr. and Mrs. STUART were born these

children:  Sarah (wife of Thomas LOCKEY), Eliza (wife of William TUCKER),

Thomas, Green, Mary (widow of D. M. SUMMERS), Robert, Martha (wife of

Joseph CLARK), and Docia (wife of Dr. Walter McMULLEN, of Texas).  Soon

after marriage our subject moved to Millville, and was engaged in the

milling business for seven years.  In 1849 he bought 100 acres in the

Thirteenth District, where he located and where he has since resided.  He

has since bought more land, and now owns 300 acres of good land.  Mr.

STUART has reared a large family, and helped them to a good start in life.

He began for himself with no means, but by energy and good business

qualifications has amassed a considerable amount of property.  Mr. STUART

is a Democrat in politics, and during the late civil war had two sons in

the army.  Thomas entered in the first company that was organized, and

served four years. He was captured, and taken to Fort Delaware, but made a

daring escape by swimming the bay.  Mr. STUART and wife are members of the

Methodist Episcopal Church, and are noted for being good citizens and kind

neighbors.
