Jesse Bowers STUART [Parents] was born 15 Aug 1847 in Nicholas County, West Virginia. He died 5 Jun 1936 in Drexel, Cass County, Missouri. Jesse married Barbara Ellen BEAN.
OBITURARY: An obituary was published in The Drexel Star (Drexel, Cass County, Missouri) on Thursday, June 11, 1936 as follows: Jesse B. Stuart, son of William and Mary Amick Stuart, was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia, August 15, 1844, and departed this life early Friday morning, June 5, 1936, at the age of 91 years, 9 months and 20 days, after a brief illness.
Mr. Stuart's parents left Virginia with their family when he was a small boy, only four years old, and went to Illinois, where they founded the town, Sweetwater (now a part of Springfield, state capitol). It was here that young Jesse B. grew to young manhood, learning the stock feeding business from his father. He made the acquaintance of Abraham Lincoln, then a comparatively unknown young man who was studying law in the office of an uncle of Jesse B.'s in Springfield, and become to know him quite well before Mr. Lincoln was elected President of the United States.
In about 1856 Mr. Stuart bought 1400 acres of land here, a part of which is now occupied by the city of Drexel. The next year he met Miss Barbara E. Dean and they were married in the fall of 1867. Soon after his marriage he decided to go to seek his fortune in the second gold rush to California but he and Mrs. Stuart decided to go back to Illinois, after the suffering and privations found there. So they returned to Springfield where Mr. Stuart rebuilt a fine herd of cattle and a nice string of horses (which were his pride even in later years).
Mr. Stuart became widely known in Western Missouri and Eastern Kansas as an industrious farmer and stock feeder with some of the finest horses in the country and he spent a great deal of time riding about the country and his large stock farm on these fine saddle horses. He was influential and his advice was often sought and his support solicited by politicians, both small and great.
When Arthur E. Stillwell and his eastern associates built the railroad then known as the Kansas City, N. & Ft. Smith, Mr.Stuart at once had visions of a thriving little city situated on his land, so he got in touch with Mr. Stillwell and after talking the railway officials out of founding a town two miles south of where Drexel now stands he granted them certain concessions and was given the privilege of having a town platted. On October 29, 1890, Mr. Stuart filed the plat of Stuart City (now Drexel) with M. C. Smith, then recorder of deeds, at Harrisonville. At the request of the Postal Department, the name "Stuart City" was changed as there was a town with a similar name already in the state. The town was given the name "Drexel" in honor of one of the financiers of the railroad by that name with the consent of Mr. Stuart.
For many years Mr. Stuart was very active in promoting the new town, trying to get the best people to come to his thriving little town to open stores and various other business enterprises. He financially helped several businesses to get started, helping finance the first newspaper in the town, the Drexel Times and after its suspension was successful in inducing two young men, Kendall and Ballard to found the Star, which has survived through the years.
Eleven children came to bless the Stuart union: five boys and six girls, one of the boys dying in infancy. Mr. Stuart raised his large family in a very splendid manner, giving them every opportunity of life and teaching them to be aristocrats. In 1903 he was preceded in death by a daughter, Mrs. Gertrude Murray and on March 17, 1930 by his youngest son, Charles H. Stuart. His faithful wife also preceded him in death on July 23, 1928. His surviving children are: Jesse B. Stuart, Jr., West Los Angeles, Calif.; Rupert Stuart, Superintendent of Kansas City Terminal-Mail Service, 1843 Hedges Ave., Independence, Mo.; O. K. Stuart, a railway engineer, 711 North Eighteenth street, Kansas City, Kas.; Mrs. Willetta Watson, Livermore, Calif.; Mrs. Rahl Feeley, Mill Iron, Mont.; Mrs. John Reid, Stockton, Calif.; Mrs. Mildred Cluster, Los Angeles, Calif.; Mrs. Harriet Benner, Fort Worth, Texas.
In later years after business houses were established and Drexel a prosperous little city, Mr. Stuart sold the larger portion of his farm, retaining only a few acres on which he built a nice modern home in South Drexel where he and Mrs. Stuart lived in comparative retirement until her death.
Shortly after Mrs. Stuart's death he went to California to live but after spending a few years in that state he decided to spend his declining years among his dear friends of Drexel and came back to live in a small dwelling of his in South Drexel. Here he spent his remaining few years of life, enjoying meeting his old friends and talking of their accomplishments in the early history of Drexel.
Mr. Stuart was a direct descendent of the Royal Scot Stuart family of England, many of whom, after being compelled to leave England during the revolution, went to France and were afterwards permitted to settle a colony in America and given a grant of 75,000 acres of land in Virginia. So it was no wonder that he and his family were considered aristocrats in the early days of Drexel and Western Missouri. Jesse B. Stuart was also a nephew of the late General Ewell Brown Stuart who commanded the Confederate forces for a time after "Stonewall" Jackson's death.
As a whole, Mr. Stuart's life was quite colorful and a man has passed on to another world who probably has done more to promote business and the welfare of Drexel than any other person, living or dead. Funeral services were held at the Christian church in Drexel, Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock conducted by the Rev. H. A. Pfost with J. B. Hays, funeral director, in charge. Burial was made in Sharon cemetery.

James Edward STUART [Parents] was born 25 Dec 1851 in Goshen, Elkhart County, Indiana. He married Mary E. WAGNER on 1876.
Charles P. Thompson wrote in his e-mail the following story about James E. Stuart: "A few years ago - around 1992 - mom told me that her grandfather Stuart (James E.) used to entertain the children (in the early 1900's) by playing the bagpipes. I asked her if he wore kilts and she said he did. Family verbal history has him as a Civil War drummer boy. Mom told me he was a confederate, but she told my brother he was a Yankee. I have been unable to verify either."

The sixth child of John and (possibly Rebecca Stuart) was b. abt 1744. He emigrated from Rockbridge Co., VA to Greenbrier Co prior to the Revolutionary War. He lived on Muddy Creek near the Blue Sulphur Spring. "Surveyed for Samuel McClung, 406 acres of land on Muddy creek, a branch of Greenbrier, Being part of order of Council granted to John Robinson and Company for 100,000 acres. Beginning at 2 Sicamores and Sugar tree on the bank of the Creek, thence . . . (more trees mentioned as bounds) in William Hamilton's line . . . (more trees)." Dated 1 March 1774 and signed by Sam'l Lewis (evidently the surveyor).
Samuel also participated in the Battle of Point Pleasant in 1774 under the leadership of Capt. Matthew Arbuckle. He is listed with 27 men who remained in Greenbrier probably to protect the settlements. (Allegheny Regional ancestors) Samuel was the last man wounded by the Indians in West Virginia. They shot him, wounding him slightly across the loin. They also shot the cue off his wig. One Indian pursued him until they came to a creek. This creek, it seemed would prevent his escape. It was now a case of life or death. Summoning all his powers as he neared the creek, he made a desparate leap. bounded clear over the stream and continued running. The Indian, disheartened by the prodigious leap, abandoned the chase. (This episode was printed in Ripley's Believe It or Not in the newspaper in the 1950s.)Documentation for his service during the revolution is as follows:
1. Samuel is listed in The Revolutionary Soldiers of Virginia: Botetourt War 23.
2. 1777 Virginia Claims Record: Samuel paid as an Indian Spy in Botetourt Co.3. Capt. Samuel served in the Quartermaster's Dept. during the Revolution (Hist. of Greenbrier Co. by J.R. Cole).
4. County Court Records: Samuel appointed Capt. of militia in 1782,3 & 4
5. Samuel was in Capt. Caperton's Company which did service in Greenbrier County. (Calendar of Virginia State Papers, Vol. 5, p. 237, 6 May 1792).
