The Stuarts of this family were in Virginia in the very early 1600's. Thomas Stuart (ca. 1764-1826) was born in Virginia. He and his wife, Elisabeth (ca. 1765-1828) both died in Missouri. They had migrated from Virginia to Jessamine Co., Ky. by 1800 and to Missouri in about 1816. Eight of their ten children came to Missouri with them. Descendants live in Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Colorado, Illinois, California and elsewhere.

In the mid-nineteenth century the Wisconsin Historical Society's first director, Lyman C. Draper, gathered outstanding materials such as the Daniel Boone papers, which include Draper's interviews with Boone's son, and the papers of Revolutionary War hero George Rogers Clark. These two collections alone are of vast significance to frontier history before 1830, but the full collection comprises nearly five hundred volumes of records, including military and government records, interviews, Draper's own research notes, and rare personal letters. For scholars, genealogists, and local historians, the Draper papers offer a wealth of information on the social, economic, and cultural conditions experienced by our frontier forebears. The 180-page index lists thousands of names and is an indispensable guide for all who wish to use the collection, which is available in libraries across the country on microfilm.
