!NOTES:I have not been able to find out anything else about Jacob and Robin Stewart of the 1870 Cherokee Co., NC census.

- Both boys were born in GA. Fannin Co., GA borders Hot House Township of Cherokee Co., NC and there were Stewarts there, including in the bordering township, also called Hot House. I can't tie Jacob and Robin to any of those.

- Jacob was 10 in 1870, so might be an infant for the 1860 census, but I found no Jacob Stewart/Stuart in 1860 that could be him in Fannin Co., GA or anywhere else.

- Why were they living with William Waldroop and Caroline? Caroline is just barely old enough to perhaps be their parents. If her age of 23 is accurate, she would be about 13 when Jacob Stewart was born. Was she married to a Stewart who died after 1862, then she married Waldroop before 1870? Or is she not their mother but perhaps an older sister?

- I was unable to find William Waldroop (c1852 GA) in 1860 or 1880, though I did find several of that name, but none I could conclusively say was the same man from 1870. I didn't find Caroline Waldroop in 1880.

- I was unable to find Rachel Waldroop (c1857 GA) in 1860 or 1880.

- These Stewarts may be connected to whatever Stewart married Jane Sutherland Stewart who was just 7 houses away in 1870. She was apparently widowed then with a daughter Mary age 9 (c1861). Jane was still in Cherokee with her parents in 1880.
