Hello Everyone,
I am new to the list and looking for any information anyone
might have on the following:

The following is from the Overton County TN History Book:

"Joseph Stewart left Jefferson County (TN now, but NC then) and arrived
with his family in Overton County (TN) then Jackson (County TN) about 1800.
This makes him one of the county's earliest settlers. Joseph's parents
were Samuel Stewart and Lydia Harrison of Augusta County, VA where
Joseph was probably born about 1740. Joseph's father Samuel received a
grant of 508 acres from Lord Granville in Rowan County, NC and the family
moved from Virginia to North Carolina about 1758."

Is anyone on the list doing research on the Stewart or Harrison
families mentioned here? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I
would be glad to help with descendants from Joseph forward. They are
my g g g g g grandparents.
