James F. Stewart was born in Rush Co., Indiana in 1839. He was the son of Franklin G. Stewart and Mathilda Rhodes. In 1860 he married Hester Manlove, daughter of George Manlove and Sarah. She unfortunately died without child in 1861 at age 16. James then joined the Civil War. On 28 March 1862, he joined Captain Mofitt's Company "F" of the Third Indiana Calvary. In 1863 while on duty as a picket, he receivd a chest injury which caused him to suffer with a cough and bleeding rendering him unfit for further duty. He received a disability discharge on 24 March 1863. After discharge, he returned home to his family who had since moved to Fayette Co., Indiana. By 1864, James had moved to Illinois. Being a farmer by trade, he soon acquired some land and remarried 18 Sep. 1864 to Hattie A. Winterrowd, daughter of Washington Winterrowd and Adeline in Effingham, Illinois. James apparently still suffered from his chest injury. In the fall of 1873, James and family moved to Ellis Co., Texas where he could find a more favorable climate. He probably traveled with his father-in-law Washington Winterrowd. James and Hattie had four children. Hattie died 1878 in Ellis Co., Texas leaving James with four children to raise. James soon remarried for the third time, Nancy Ann Thomas, daughter of Issac Thomas and Eliza Crubaugh on 19 Oct. 1879, Ellis Co., Texas. James and Nancy had five children.
