Isabelle Barker

James' widow Isabella married an unknown Barker soon after James' death and moved to Kentucky where she raised a large family of Stuarts and Barkers. The portion of Montgomery County, Kentucky, that became Bath County, Kentucky, in 1811 was settled by many of the old families of Bath County, Virginia, including: Stuart, Hamilton, Laverty, Barker, Cartmill, Delay, Elliot and Armstrong families.

Children of James and Isabella Stewart have not been identified with certainty; however, some historians studying the Barker family report the following:

• (1) Robert Stewart, b: abt 1766;
• (2) John Stewart, b: Abt 1768, d: 1823 in Lexington, Kentucky;
• (3) James Stewart, b: abt 1770 in Virginia, m. Nancy Elliot, d: 1823 in Lexington, Kentucky;
• (4) Polly Stewart (possibly named Mary), b: January 21, 1771, m. William Hanks.
