General Notes: Husband - James Stewart

---

He was in the War of 1812, being under Gen. Harrison in the campaign against the Indians in the northwest. He was promoted to lieutenant for meritorious service. He was very fond of the adventures and dangers incident to frontier life, and had many exciting encounters with the bears, wolves, and panthers, which at that time were very abundant. From this, and his style of dress, as well as to distinguish him from 'Squire James Stewart, of Brush Valley, and Maj. James Stewart, of Buffington, he was known as "Moccasin Jimmie" Stewart. He lived for several years near where the town of Mechanicsburg, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, now stands, and afterwards, in 1820, removed three miles northwest of that place, where he resided until his death.

He fought in the War of 1812. He married and they afterward moved to what is now Indiana County, Pennsylvania, taking up land in Brush Valley township, where they lived and died.
