Notes:
James and Caroline Stedman were first located in Madison Co., MS, in 1830 with one son (Rufus).
Two land transactions were found in Book A of Madison Co. On July 12, 1830, James sold the W 1/2 of the NE 1/4 of Section 33, Township 9, Range 4 East for $150.00 (Page 703).
On Aug. 3, 1833, he sold the N 1/2 of the W 1/2 of NE Section 1, Township 8, Range 2 East (40 acres) for $175.00 (Page 853).
In both cases, Caroline affixed her mark (X) atesting to the fact that this was her voluntary act without fear, threats, or compulsion from her husband. This statement is a dower's release. It is interesting to note that STIDMAN was used on all legal documents.
James and Caroline Stedman moved to Carroll Co., MS, about 1836 with other members of James's family. The 1840 census of Carroll Co., MS. shows them with 5 sons and a daughter.
By 1850, they had moved to Choctaw Co., MS. where they remained until they died. In 1870, Caroline was listed with son George's household in the Dido Community.
Their burial place is unknown but believed to be Spring Hill Cemetery as there are numerous graves marked only with native stone.
