  Notes	Joel Stewart was born near Petersburgh, Rensselear County, New York, in February 1804. His parents were Eathel and Esther Thurber Stewart, of English descent. It has been said that Eathel Stewart helped to build the Baptist church at Petersburgh and that his wife, Esther, was a Methodist. When Joel Stewart was eight years of age his parents came to Oswego County, settling in town of Richland. The farm at Petersburgh was sold to pay a debt his father made having signed a note with another man. The trip to Oswego County was made by ox team following the marked trees. At that time they had to go either to Rome or Oswego to have their corn ground. Eathol and Esther Stewart were the parents of Joel, Draper, Benjamin, Ira, Phineas, Harriet, Sarah, Hannah and Melissa. He (Eathel) died at the age of 81 years. At the age of twenty-seven, Joel Stewart married Betsey White from Vermont. They began housekeeping in the Whitesboro district. After some time they gave this up to his parents and purchased a 200-acre farm on the Ridge Road then known as the Seneca Getty farm (later the James Snyder farm and now owned by Ralph Sutton), where he lived nine years. He next purchased the Deacon Meacham farm. When his health began to fail, he went to live with his daughter, Ellen, in Pulaski where he died at the age of 90 on March 3, 1894. His children were Dexter W., James Gilber, Wilbur, Sally, Harriet Jane, Milton, Ellen, Milton Delos and Orin." Source: Sandy Creek News Thursday August 30, 1928
