Notes for John STEWART

---

First white man to be killed by Indians in Kentucky.

From Early Osborne Alley Families by Rita Sutton: "John Stewart was on an exploring and hunting trip to Kentucky with Daniel Boone, John Findley and others. After a time, most of the party returned to North Carolina, but Boone and Stewart remained in Kentucky. Supplies were brought to them by settlers from the Yadkin. Younger brother Squire Boone stayed with Daniel and John Stewart. One day Stewart went out alone and did not return. Several years later, on Rockcastle river a skeleton was found in a large, hollow sycamore tree. A bone in the upper arm had been broken, so it was thought that John Stewart had been wounded, then escaped from the Indians, only to bleed to death.
