Notities over Martha Stewart

The following is quoted from "The Children of Pride" page 1478: Martha Stewart, "Mrs. James Stephens Bulloch, daughter of General Daniel Stewart (1761-1829) and Susannah Oswald, was born in Liberty County, Georgia, in March 1799. Her father had joined the Revolutionary army at the age of fifteen; after the Revolution he had been made a brigadier general in recognition of his service in the Inidan Wars; and for many years he had represented Liberty County in the state legislature. Martha Stewart was christened "Patsy" in Midway Church on August 15th, 1799.

On January 6th, 1818, she became the second wife of the Hon. John Elliott (1773-1827), United States senator from Georgia (1819-1825); three of their five children survived infancy: Susan Ann Elliott (1820-1895), Georgia Ann Elliott (1822-1848), and Daniel Stewart Elliott (1826-1862). On May 8th, 832, she became the second wife of James Stephen Bulloch (1793-1849); three of their four children survived infancy: Anna Louisa Bulloch (1833-1893), Martha (Mittie) Bulloch (1834-1884), and Irvine Stephen Bulloch (1842-1898).

James Stephen Bulloch was deputy collector of the port of Savannah, major of the Chatham Battalion, president of the Savannah branch of the United States Bank... In 1840 he removed with his family to Roswell, Georgia, where he built Bulloch Hall...and died on February 18th, 1849. A month earlier, on January 25th, 1849, Susan Ann Elliott, eldest daughter of Mrs. Bulloch by her first husband, had become the wife of Dr. Hilborne West (1919-1907), of Philadelphia; on December 22nd, 1853, Martha (Mittie) Bulloch, second daugther of Mrs. Bulloch by her second husband, became the wife of Theodore Roosevelt (1831-1878), of New York.

In October 1854, having sold her Roswell house, she removed with her daughter Anna and her son Irvine to join the Philadelphia household of the Wests; two years later she removed with her daughter and son to join the New York household of the Roosevelts. There, on October 27th, 1858, she attended the birth of her grandson, Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919), twenty-sixth president of the United States, who recalled her thus in his Autobiography (1913): "My grandmother, one of the dearest of old ladies, lived with us, and was distinctly overindulgent to us children, being quite unable to harden her heart towards us even when the occasion demanded it." At the outbreak of the Civil War she remained in the North; as her lifelong friend, Mrs. Eliza G. Robarts, wrote on May 20th, 1861, "Mrs. Bulloch says she is true to the South, but her daughters have both married Northern gentlemen, and she is obliged to stay where they are. The gentlemen, I hear, say they will not fight against the South." She died in Madison, New Jersey, on October 30th, 1864, and was buried in Greewood Cemetery, Brooklyn."
