2. FRANCES MARIE ACORD [733] was born 23 April 1849 in Roane County, Tennessee, and died 21 April 1933 in Denton, Tarrant County, Texas. She married CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS STEWART on16 November 1868 in Johnson County, Arkansas, at the home of her father Calvin Acord by Rev. Turner Casey. Christopher was the son of WILLIAM STEWART and LOUISA SWIFT. He was born 12 September 1848 in Yale, Johnson County, Arkansas, and died 08 February 1909 in Weatherford, Parker County, Texas. After 1870 the migrated to Parker County, Texas where they remained the rest of their lives. They are both buried in Nelson Cemetery, Azle, Parker County, Texas.

 

Three Stuart brothers moved to America in the early 1700's. All fought in the Revolutionary War. After the war one of the brothers went to New York and "got into the wrong crowd and became a gambler." The other two brothers were Baptist Preachers. The two brothers moved from Virginia to North Carolina and to sever all ties with the erring brother, took the English spelling of their name of Stewart. Part of the descendants used the Scotch spelling of Stuart, others born after the spelling change, used the English spelling of Stewart. When Christopher Columbus Stewart moved to Texas in 1890, he bought a new Bible printed in 1891 and wrote ALL the family names in it spelled with the Scotch spelling of STUART. The two youngest were born after the spelling change. Christopher Columbus had a brother and three sisters, and all spell the name STEWART. Frances Marie Acord Stewart/Stuart is the only Acord involved in the spelling mix-up.

Research Notes: There are major discrepancies in the Spooner Funeral Home record transcriptions. These indicate that Ephraim was born in 1868 when he was actually born in 1858. They also state that Louvicy died in 1936 in Hollis, Oklahoma. However, Ephraim is listed as a widower in Johnson County, Arkansas in 1920. Louvicy has not been found in any 1930 census record.
