John Lumpkin Stewart was a citizen of Rose Hill
By Curtis Thomasson
The Andalusia Star-News
""John Lumpkin is seemingly the most prominent
Stewart in Covington County during the 1800s. He is included in the Memorial
Record of Alabama which acknowledged his local leadership. He was always
regarded as a successful farmer. In religion, he was a Congregationalist.
He was a stanch Democrat, yet he was not actively involved in politics
other than to support programs of interest to farmers. In 1861, he enlisted
in Co. B., 18th. Ala. Inf. Reg’t., C.S.A. and was mustered at Auburn. After
the war, he resumed his farming in the Rose Hill community and was a registered
voter in 1867. Also in 1867, there were two other Stewarts, J.F. and W.B.,
listed as registered voters.""
