Stewart, James, a member of the Mormon Battalion, as born Feb. 14, 1827, at Columbia, Greene co., Indiana, the son of Nathaniel Stewart and Darkus Hewey. His parents became members of the Church when he was but a small boy, and he went through the early day persecutions in Missouri and Illinois. On his mother's death he was taken into the family of Hyrum Smith, the Prophet's brother. He was baptized when about eighth years old and gathered with his parents to Nauvoo, Ill., where he passed through the persecutions, which befell his people at that place. After the arrival of the exiles on the Missouri river in July, 1846, James enlisted in the Mormon Battalion and marched to a point beyond Santa Fe, whence he went to Pueblo in Wm. W. Willis company and arrived in the G. S. L. Valley in July, 1847. Here he assisted in making adobes for the building of the old fort. He returned to Winter Quarters and came to the Valley a second time in 1850. After residing in Provo and other places he settled permanently at Fairview, Sanpete co., where he resided until the time of his death. He was among the oldest settlers of Fairview. Bro. Stewart was married twice, his first wife being Elizabeth Hoops who bore him twelve children, six sons and six daughters. His second wife was Anna Christine Jensen (daughter of James Mogensen Jensen and Maria Sørensen), whom he married April 30, 1890; she was born July 22, 1838, in Denmark and emigrated to Utah in 1879. Bro. Stewart died Oct. 18, 1908, at Fairview, Sanpete co., Utah; 54 of his grandchildren were then alive and about the same number had died prior to that date. He also had twenty-four great grandchildren at the time of his demise.
