Mysteries

I am pretty sure that Stuart was married - likely in or before he went to Kansas. There was an outstanding tax that listed in the newspapers for both Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. Stuart. And, in 1910, there was Mrs. Joseph H. Stuart (colored woman) living in the city the year of Joseph H. Stuart's death. Except one year where the person's ethnicity seems to have been marked wrong, Joseph was the only Stuart in the city directories from the early 1890s til 1910 that was black.
From the city directories, he moved almost every year that he was in Denver, mostly within a mile or so from his office, a couple times miles south of downtown. I am not sure if he might have done that to keep away from any harassment or threats leveled at Stuart (and perhaps his wife).
There were four Stuart brothers, all lawyers, who came to Denver about 1890. The brothers of Stuart Bros. & Murray and Joseph worked near Joseph - sometimes in the same building, but a different floor. The brothers were white. I wasn't able to figure out if they may have been half-brothers - such as if their father owned a plantation at Barbados. If someone had access to information about the ancestry of the Stuarts in Barbados, that would be amazing!
His parents are said on Find a Grave to be Robert and Margaret Ann Stuart, but I couldn't find a reliable source for that. There is very little information about him before he came to Denver.
Stuart had not prepared a will, and the estate administrator made payments from the estate to Alexandrina Stuart and Sarah Jane Stuart, but I couldn't find anything to link these women to Joseph other than the estate. I wonder if they are a few of the relatives back in Barbados.

Any thoughts or knowledge about how to find this information would be wonderful!–CaroleHenson (talk) 17:44, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
