Albert L. Stuart walked to Lawrence County from Kentucky when he was nine years old. His parents are unknown but it is believed that the old pioneer Col. William Stuart, who acted as guide escort to families coming out of Kentucky to Arkansas, was his father or grandfather.
Albert hired out in 1828, as an apprentice shoemaker and became friends with old Ben Crowley. The only known man working in leather at that time was Rev. Issac Brookfield, the Methodist preacher. Was this who Albert worked for. The Rev. was a close friend to Mr Crowley at that time.
Old Ben Crowley saw potential in young Albert and advised him to become a lawyer. Albert went to Memphis, studied law, got his license, married, and appears in the Census of Shelby County, TN in 1840.
By 1841 he moved in to Greene County, and established in Law Practice in old Greensboro. Before his death, Ben Crowley, advised him to get in to politics. Albert became a State Representative from Greene County in 1850.
After the Civil War, Ben H. Crowley got his law license, and became a partner with Albert in Greensboro, and Gainsville.
Mr Stuart was kicked by a horse near where Reynolds Park and Center Hill Community is today in Paragould. The injury resulted in death several days later. He died in 1876 and is buried at Woods Chapel. He left his wife Jane, and several children living in Clark Township of Greene County.
Need help establishing parents for Albert among the early Stuarts of Lawrence County. Was Col. William, or one of his sons Col Terry, or C.E. Stuart his father?
Did Albert apprentice himself to Reverend Issac Brookfield before Arkansas became a State, or Greene County was establlished?
Need information on Mr. Stuart's family in Greene and Craighead Counties.
