STEWART posted by adam w. parrish on Tuesday, March 2, 1999

Help!!I am looking for the parents and or grandparents of J.W. (Judge) Stewart of Newton County. Judge was born in Newton County, GA around 1842. I think that his mother's name was "Valynia" and that his father was "Alexander", but am unsure. J.W. and his family left Newton County in about 1857 and moved to Randolph Co. Alabama, settling in Wedowee. JW Stewart served in Co. K 14th Alabama Infantry. He was captured at both Fredricksburg and Mechanicsville. He served @ Elmyra Prison Camp until his parole. He died in Wedowee around 1930.Any information is greatly appreciated!!
