"We could rightfully use the name of Stuart in recognition of our proud Scot
ancestor, but we choose to be known by the name given our family by the
Cherokee Indians," James Butler Bushyhead said. He and his brother are
members of a family whose name is associated with adventure, romance,
achievement and suffering throughout more than 200 years of American Indian
history. The St. Louisans are grandsons of a famous Cherokee Chief. The
other grandson is Jack S. Bushyhead, of Chesterfield, MO. James Butler
Bushyhead and his family live in Frontenac. James Butler served as a special
agent with the FBI in World War II. Jack served in the Southwest Pacific
theater.

Before the years of the American Revolution. Capt. John Stuart, a young Scot
nobleman with the British army, came to the Colonies as an Indian agent. He
married a Cherokee maiden and lived the rest of his life among her people.
