1644 HISTORY OF NORTHWEST MISSOURI

Samuel B. Stewart. One of the best known resident of Andrew
County is Samuel B. Stewart, who has lived in the vicinity of Savannah
nearly all his life, and is now a resident of the county seat and semiretired.
Mr. Stewart is a man of extensive interests, and has had an
interesting career.
He was born about six miles south of Savannah near the Buchanan
County line October 17, 1850. His parents were Robert and Clarinda
(Keaton) Stewart, both of whom were natives of Kentucky, where they
married. During the decade of the '40s they came to Northwest Missouri,
locating north of St. Joseph. The father was a race horse man
and brought some of the first racing stock into this section of the state.

HISTORY OF NORTHWEST MISSOURI 1645

In the early days he knew Joseph Robidoux, the founder and pioneer
of St. Joseph. His death occurred when Samuel B. was five years of
age and the mother died about the same time. There were four children:
Frances Gillespie; Martha Sherman, deceased; Robert, of Reserve,
Kansas; and Samuel B.
After the death of the parents Samuel and his brother were adopted
by the late David Moran, a wealthy farmer and land owner whose home
was about eight miles east of Savannah. Mr. Stewart lived with Mr.
Moran until the latter 's death. He had an average education in the
country schools and learned to work on his foster father's farm, and
at the death of his benefactor inherited a farm of 500 acres which he
still owns. In the fall of 1905 Mr. Stewart moved to Savannah, and his
son, Robert, now operates the place. Mr. Stewart was active manager of
Mr. Moran 's large land holdings and in all his business operations has
proved himself a capable and energetic worker. Since moving to
Savannah he has engaged in the buying and shipping of live stock and
for a time had a livery establishment.
Mr. Stewart is a democrat in politics, and at one time was candidate
for the office of sheriff, but otherwise has not sought any public honors.
Mr. Stewart was a party to the most famous lawsuit ever tried in
Andrew County, and it is a case with which lawyers all over Missouri
are familiar. This case, entitled Moran vs. Stewart, was a long drawn
out piece of litigation, and was in the courts from 1891 to 1913. The
Supreme Court reviewed the judgments of the lower courts five different
times, and it will probably stand for many years as one of the record
cases tried in Missouri. A complete account of this case is found in
the Missouri Reports of the Supreme Court and was also published in
the Southwestern Reporter of January 1, 1913.
In 1876 Mr. Stewart married Hettie Carson, who was born in
Andrew County, October 5, 1852, daughter of Joseph Carson. Mr. and
Mrs. Stewart are the parents of three children : David M., who lives in
San Francisco, California; Robert, who is active manager of his father's
farm ; and Eva, wife of Carl Lambright of Hot Springs, South Dakota.
Joseph Carson, father of Mrs. Stewart, was born in Rockcastle
County, Kentucky, December 12, 1812. When a child he lost his father,
had only limited opportunities for gaining an education, but eventually
succeeded in life. He learned the trade of stone mason, and came to
Missouri in the latter '40s with wife and two children. He entered land
along the Platte River in Andrew County, sold that, and finally bought
160 acres of some of the finest land in this vicinity. He lived on that
farm, eight miles east of Savannah, until seventy-five years of age, and
spent his latter years in King City, where he died in December, 1892.
He was a member of the Christian Church from boyhood and in politics
a democrat. Joseph Carson was married in Kentucky to Margaret
Montgomery, a native of that state. She died in 1855, and her five
children were: Elizabeth, who died young; Joseph R., a farmer in
Gentry County; Mary J., deceased wife of Luther Carter; Margaret,
deceased wife of John Bedford; and Mrs. Stewart, who was the fourth
in order of birth. In 1860 Joseph Carson married Mrs. Sophia Mitchell,
widow of Charles Mitchell, and a sister of the late David Moran. By this
marriage there were five children: David M. Carson of Jackson, Tennessee;
Kate M., of King City; William, who died at the age of one
year; Charles B., who lives near Guthrie, Oklahoma; and James H., of
Gentry County, Missouri.
