Note: I believe their names should be listed as Waverly, Edward Lee Stewart 
and Willie Bernard, Roy Hartwell and Ashton Leroy Stuart with a note of 
explanation that the Dendron 1st grade teacher misspelled Stewart.  They 
went through school, military marriages and death with it being spelled 
Stuart.  All five of them were born in Surry (Little Surry) and went to the 
Dendron school.  Granddaddy James Graves Stewart came over from New Kent 
County to work in the saw mill and met Mary Marina (Mamie) Goodrich over here. 
None of the 5 boys' children had any ties to Surry.
