David Mitchell Stewart

M, b. 16 July 1775, d. 1 November 1854
  • Last Edited: 9 Dec 2018
  • Biography*: David was born in Iredell County, North Carolina, July 16 1775. Of his early life but little is known, but he learned the blacksmith trade, and at the age of 24 married Miss Annie Sloan, a poor widow's daughter. She never saw her father, as he was killed in a battle with the Tories, the same in which the Stewarts mentioned before were wounded. Her father was a captain of a company of Whigs. In the year 1799, David Stewart and wife emigrated to Georgia and lived there five years and three children were born to them: John S., 1800; James, October 17 1802; David G, Oct 15 1804. In November, 1804, tired of slavery they started to move to Ohio and got to Barren County, Kentucky, and had to stop on account of bad weather and remained there for eight years, there after farming and working at his trade. During their stay in Kentucky there were born to them three children: Mary, born Feb. 18 1807; Eli Stewart, March 30 1809; and Samuel M. Stewart, born July 15 1811. While in Kentucky there came a new church sect known as the New Lights, afterwards taking the name of Christian or Church Or Jesus Christ. David Stewart and his wife joined this church under the preaching of Bartin W. Stone and others. The people then were exercised with what they called Jerks. It was here that he took great interest in religious affairs and commenced to exhort in public. Wanting to get out of a slave state in the year 1813, David Stewart and family came to Big Springs, Indiana, now Marengo, and purchased the Henry Hollowell farm. On March 28 1813, he and family moved into their new home, a log cabin over the head of the old cave spring in old Marengo, then quite a wilderness. At the time there was only about ten acres of cleared ground. He and family went to work clearing ground, working almost night and day. At that time it was dangerous in Indiana Territory on account of the Indians. Every morning with gun in hand he would survey the premises before venturing far from home. He cleared away the forests and worked some at his trade and preached some but many were tho privations that he underwent in this new territory. They had born to them ln Indiana three children: Martin T., April 14 1814; Martha A., June 25 1817; and Lewis B. Stewart, the one who was able to give the leading facts of this sketch, was born Dec. 22 1819. In the year 1824, David Stewart was candidate for Representative of the State Legislature and was elected and served the winter of 1824 and 1825 for one term, it being the first term after the removal of the State Capitol from Corydon to Indianapolis, then a place almost in the woods. He traveled to and from Indianapolis on horseback. In 1830 he made a race for State Senator from the District composed then of Crawford, Perry and Spencer Counties. His opponents were Dr. Thompson of Perry County and John Daniels of Spencer County. Dr Thompson was elected as he was a Democrat and the other candidates were both Whigs. He was then elected Associate Judge one term and was also elected Probate Judge one term up to 1840. He was made chairman of the first Whigs convention ever held in the county, which was organized by E. E. Morgan and held at the residence of Nathaniel Straughn in this county. In the year 1838, he laid out and had surveyed and plotted the town of Big Springs now in north Marengo. In the year 1842 he with others laid out and petitioned the County Board to form Liberty Township out of Whiskey Run and Sterling Township. He was then elected the first Assessor of Liberty Township. He was a public-spirited man and lived for others more than for himself. He traveled and preached over a large territory and took hundreds of converts into tho church by confession and baptism. He assisted the two Kinkaid brothers to establish tho first Christian church in the county. The church was organized in a little log house over on Dog Creek, near English, Oct 1819. On August 12 1846, he lost his bosom companion. For over a year his granddaughter, Mary Ann Wood, and her husband lived with him and in the fall of 1847, he married Elizabeth Springer, a widow, who lived at Paoli, Indiana, and who was an old acquaintance. They lived together until Nov. 1 1854, when David Stewart departed this life after a lingering illness at the age of 79 years, three months, and fifteen days (from the sketch by James Elmer Stewart).

  • (Deceased) Death*: 1 November 1854; Marengo, Crawford Co., Indiana
  • Note*: July 1958; David Stewart was born July, 1775, in North Carolina, as stated in a biography of his son, Dr. Lewis B. Stewart of Marengo, Ind. He married (1) in 1799 Anna Sloan.

    Anna Sloan [daughter of Capt. John Sloan] was very likely related to Elvira Sloan, who married William Lewis, born Sep. 27, 1747, son of James and Anne (Stewart) Lewis and grandson of John and Hanna (Boone) Stewart = Tome B:206. Elvira was a daughter of Lieut. Archibald Sloan, an officer in the Revolution from Rowan County, North Carolina.

    David and Anna moved to Georgia, where they lived for five years. In 1804 they moved to Kentucky, where they lived until 1813. They then moved to Harrison county [the part set off as Crawford county in 1818], Indiana, and settled on the site where the town of Marengo was laid out in 1838. His brother Lazarus had come the year before, 1812, and the two families occupied adjoining farms. Indiana was then a territory, and that region was practically a wilderness. David Stewart was a farmer, blacksmith, and Christian minister, was associate and probate judge of Crawford county, a representative in the state legislature and presiding officer of the first convention of the Whig party held in the county, 1840. Two of his sons became doctors, and two were preachers. His wife Anna died in 1846, and he married (2) in 1847 Elizabeth Springer, who survived him. He died Nov. 1854, in his 80th year.2

    Yes, Capt. John Sloan is the father of Anna Sloan who married David Stewart. She was born after her father died. I have no proof that she is his daughter, but his will names the older children: Archibald Sloan Jr. (who performed her marriage), John Sloan, Margaret and Mary Sloan. Her mother, also Mary Green Sloan, became blind (ca.. 1818?) and lived to Dec. 1833 or so. She never remarried. Anna's first child was named John Sloan Stewart.  Monita1
