I (Marty Grant) am a 3rd Great Grand Nephew of Isam Stewart.
Isam (also spelled Isham) Stewart was born ca 1824/25 in Haywood Co, NC. He is a proven son of Noah and Nancy Stewart. I don't know who he might have been named for.
He was apparently home with his parents for the 1830 and 1840 census (both in Haywood Co, NC). When the family moved to Union Co, GA in the 1840's, he went as well.
Isam Stewart married Margaret Rhodes on 14 Mar 1845 in Union Co, GA.
They were listed on the 1850 census in Union Co, GA next door to his parents.

In 1860, Isam and family were still very near his parents, as well as other relatives in Union Co, GA.

Shortly after the Civil War began, the State of Georgia required all eligible males (age 16-60) to be listed in case they were needed for service. Isom Stewart was listed on the 2 Sep 1861 list in Union Co, GA, Gum Log district. I don't know if he ever actually served or not.
Isam's wife Margaret died on 10 Jun 1863 in Union Co, GA (I'm not sure of the source for that date).
Isam Stewart married Mary Russell circa 1870 in Union Co, GA.
They were listed on the 1870 census in Union Co, GA just a few houses from his parents.

Isam Stewart died ca 1878 in Union Co, GA.
Widow Mary Russell Stewart was listed on the 1880 census in Union Co, GA, but I don't have this entry typed up yet.
Mary died ca 1894 in Union Co, GA.
Isam Stewart and his two wives Margaret Rhodes and Mary Russell had a total of nine known children, all proven by the various census records.
Noah Lafayette Stewart (c1855)
Jasper Alexander Stewart (1872)
John Wesley Stewart (1878-1953)
Watson Stewart was born ca 1848/49 in Union Co, GA. He was home with his parents for the 1850 and 1860 census in Union Co, GA.
He died on 4 Apr 1864 in Nashville, TN during the Civil War. He was only 15, so I'm surprised he was able to serve. He may have lied about his age.
Amanda C. Stewart was born 31 Jul 1854 in Union Co, GA. She was home with her parents for the 1860 and 1870 census.
On 26 Jan 1873 Amanda married Robert Henderson (son of James H. Henderson).
Robert and Amanda were listed on the 1880, 1900 and 1910 census in Union Co, GA.
Robert Henderson died in 1927, and Amanda died the same year on 16 Jan 1927 in Union Co, GA. Both are buried at the Henderson Cemetery.
See James Henderson's page for more information on this family.
Noah Lafayette Stewart was born ca 1854/55 in Union Co, GA (the 1860 census listed "NC" as birth place).
He was home with his parents for the 1860 and 1870 census.
"N. L. Stewart" was listed on the 1880 census in Monroe Co, TN. I haven't verified if this was the same person or not.
Mary J. Stewart was born 17 Feb 1955 in Union Co, GA. She was home with her parents for the 1860 and 1870 census.
I didn't find Mary in 1880, but she married William M. Henderson on 6 Mar 1881 in Union Co, GA. William was a son of James H. Henderson
William and Mary were listed on the 1900 and 1910 census in Union Co, GA.
Mary Stewart Henderson died on 9 Jan 1940, and William on 5 Feb 1946. Both are buried at the Henderson Cemetery.

Nancy A. Stewart was born April 1860 in Union Co, GA. She was home with her parents for the 1870 and 1880 census.
Nancy married on 5 Aug 1883 in Union Co, GA to Thomas J. Henderson. Thomas was a son of James H. Henderson
Thomas and Nancy were listed on the 1900 and 1910 census in Union Co, GA.
I don't have death dates for Thomas or Nancy, but both are buried at the Henderson Cemetery.
See James Henderson's page for more information on this family.
William Stewart was born ca 1870/71 in Union Co, GA. He was home with his parents for the 1880 census.
I didn't find William in 1900. He supposedly went to Texas.

He moved to Graham Co, NC by 10 Sep 1893 when he married there to Dosia Ann Adams.
