Rebecca BANGSUND's relative, VIRGIL FREY.
Studied the CIVIL WAR papers from "JOHN W. ELDER" family of
WISCONSIN and KANSAS, who are related to ELDER of NC.
The "Indian lady" could be French-Canadian.

His son John was a veteran of the Civil War.
He was wounded, healed, discharged, reinlisted, wounded
and disabled. George was a farmer, sheep herder, and barber.
This is a quick over view of my Elders.
Mother, Mabel, was a house wife born in Spivey, Ks.
and I was born in Newton, Ks.

He died 30 years later.

Am researching the family of ANDREW R. ELDER, born 1795 and died
1854 in Alexander County, NC.
He married CATHERINE HINES.
Does anyone know if the JOHN ELDER in Iredell County, NC in 1794
was the father of ANDREW?
Some information states that JOHN may have come from Ireland.

My ancestor, John Elder, was
a Captain in the Civil War.
My great grandfather was Andrew
Elder.
This is what I call coincidental.

He obtained land there 12-4-1794.
I am looking for information on his family.
I have researched the line
of ANDREW ELDER, born 1795
for some time and think
this may be a relative of ANDREW'S.

Morrison's Mill onThird Creek to Fort Dobbs.
Among these Scotch-Irish Presbyterian families lived John

# ID: I514505515
# Name: William Wallace STEWART
# Given Name: William Wallace
# Surname: STEWART
# Sex: M
# Birth: 23 Apr 1831
# Death: 24 Dec 1922
# Note:
William Wallace Stewart was named for his mother's brother
William Wallace Allen.
His wife was known to have told others that James Ross Stewart and
his wife Elizabeth Allen Stewart named two sons
William Wallace Stewart, the first of which died. When asked why,
Sarah Clementine Stewart explained, "The name was important to us."
In further explanation, Sir William Wallace, the great Scottish
patriot who lived from 1272 - 1305, fought fiercely and courageously
for the freedom of Scotland.
In Iredell County, N.C. the Stewart and Wallace families were
aligned.
The name of Sir William Wallace has been esteemed in Scotland for
more than 600 years and the people still talk and sing of him and
of
Bonnie Prince Charlie.
William Wallace Stewart fought in the Civil War as did his four
brothers Closen, John, Jeptha, and Franklin. He was captured and
spent some months as a prisoner in New York City. Closen and John
were killed, and brothers Jeptha and Franklin were wounded. In his
later years William Wallace Stewart received a pension from the
government. With his first pension check, he purchased new
pulpitfurnature for New Bethany Church.
William Wallace Stewart listed his occupation as "miller" in the
1860 census. At the time of this census, he was living next door
to
his wife Clemintine's family, Henry Stikeleather, in the Liberty
Hill
Township of Iredell County, North Carolina.
Perhaps this was how his youngest son, Charles Atwell Stewart
was motivated to own and operate
the C. A. Stewart Flour Mill on the Buffalo Shoals Creek years
later.This was the location of the John Stewart of Fourth Creek
farm.
William Wallace Stewart purchased a farm on the Lewis Ferry Road
in the Shiloh Community on June 11, 1885 from A J K Thomas and his
wife SA Thomas adjoining the lands of the Raymer Brothers, the
Thomas's, and others (Iredell County Deed Book B, page 470). This
farm was in the"Rock Cut" Township in the 1860 but is now the Shiloah
Township. "RockCut" was the name given for the location of the
railroad depot at what is now called Eufola, NC. He and his sons
farmed this land for his remaining years.
