Captain Charles S. Stuart
CAPTAIN CHARLES S. STUART.
Charles S. Stuart was born unto Charles and Susan Arthur Stuart on July 2nd, 1808, in Knox county, Kentucky, and with his parents in early life moved to Henry county, Tennessee, where he gained his education from the common schools. His father died in Perry county Tennessee, and afterwards his mother, Susan Arther Stuart, was again married to Colonel Miller, and the family removed to Yallabusha county, Mississippi, and settled near Coffeeville in the year 1833, where Charles S. Stuart was married to Martha Cox in 1836, and unto them were born eight children, five girls and three oys, and as told in this narrative he was killed in battle and buried at Round Mound.
Of his family, his widow, Martha Cox Stuart now lives with her daughter, Mrs. C. A. Smith, at Mt. Pleasant, Texas. Two others of the family still live — Mrs. S. J. Stephens, also at Mt. Pleasant, and Mrs. Nellie Stuart, of Ft. Worth, Texas.
Captain Stuart moved with his family to Texas in December 1841, and settled a farm in Red River district eight miles west from Mt. Pleasant, Texas, where he lived and raised his family, and from his enterprise and public spirit he became well known as one of those staunch pioneers of North Texas.
He loved Texas and was ever watchful in her development into homes for an enlightened and prosperous people, and his name can still be found at the head of the list in many grand efforts by the early settlers. The schoolhouse for the early training of the children and the church house for the worship of the God of the pioneer settler were his pride. His house was known to the pioneer of Texas as a place of hospitable entertainment, and among his neighbors he was respected and loved. He was a consistent member of the Methodist church, in which he officiated as steward, he was a royal arch mason and stood high in that institution of selected friends, and by his industry had accumulated a fine property and owned a number of slaves, which he regarded as a special care entrusted to his hands and was never cruel. And he was one of the foremost men in building a good and comfortable home and surrounding it with beauties in plants and domestic animals and became noted for the extra fine developments in the breeding of his stock.
He raised a company of soldiers, not rebels but of law-abiding Texans, who loved Texas and raise their arms in her defense. He was elected Captain and led them in accord with his convictions which he at all times was in readiness to defend.
He died as he lived, at his post, and was buried in the wilds of nature, and sweet memories of his goodness and his ever upright walk is all the monument that marks the sacred precincts where his body rests. Thus passed an early settler of Texas and one of nature's noblemen. And God forbid that the happy throngs of bright and educated Texas boys and girls that have feasted from the fields that he planted and drank from the fountains that he opened unto them, while in the giddy world should ever be so forgetful as to connect his name with "Rebel."
Captain Stuart carried one of those peculiar pistols that were so constructed that their use required the use of three fingers, the second and third fingers were used to cock the pistol and the first, which was used to shoot by pulling the trigger as with an ordinary pistol, and while Captain Stuart was firing he would raise the muzzle of the pistol up and fire as his arm was on a downward movement, and while his hand was raised after cocking his pistol, he was struck in the forehead by a large ball that passed out a little to the left of the center of the back of his head, and he made an unusual noise and I looked and he was falling forward and to the right of his horse, .which he held well in gather with the left hand, firmly holding the bridle when the body fell, it so turned that the hand raised with the pistol fell across the front of the saddle and the force of the grip discharged the pistol and the ball passed very close to my face, "fearful close." The ball that killed him on passing out of his head threw a large wad of his brain upon the sleeve and collar of my coat.

The Death of Captain Charles S. Stuart.
As told by A. W. Sparks.
Captain Stuart carried one of those peculiar pistols that were so constructed that their use required the use of three fingers, the second and third fingers were used to cock the pistol and the first, which was used to shoot by pulling the trigger as with an ordinary pistol, and while Captain Stuart was firing he would raise the muzzle of the pistol up and fire as his arm was on a downward movement, and while his hand was raised after cocking his pistol, he was struck in the forehead by a large ball that passed out a little to the left of the center of the back of his head, and he made an unusual noise and I looked and he was falling forward and to the right of his horse, .which he held well in gather with the left hand, firmly holding the bridle when the body fell, it so turned that the hand raised with the pistol fell across the front of the saddle and the force of the grip discharged the pistol and the ball passed very close to my face, "fearful close." The ball that killed him on passing out of his head threw a large wad of his brain upon the sleeve and collar of my coat.
Navy Pilot James G. Taylor, Civil War.
U. S. S. New London,
Off Saline Pass, Tex., April 18, 1863.
Sir: Having sent in boats several times of late to take observations, and the result of the same seeming to show that the enemy was in small force at Sabine City, I concluded this morning to take a final observation in person, preparatory to making an attempt to cut out the steam boats lying at the town. My object was to ascertain the positions of the steamers as to each other and their situation as to their probable relief from the troops in the town in case 1 should make an attack. I took a boat's crew of five, together with James G. Taylor, pilot, and at half past 9 o'clock this morning started to go in. Lieutenant-Commander D. A. McDermut, of the gunboat Cayuga, with a boat's crew, accompanied me. We directed our course toward the light-house, where our former expeditions have landed without molestation.
The light-house is situated upon the Louisiana side of the pass and about 4 miles from Sabine City. It stands upon an open piece of ground, affording no place of concealment for an enemy excepting the light-house and keeper's house, and with proper precaution is considered a safe place to land.
Captain McDermut landed on the beach about a quarter of a mile nearer the light-house than myself, and he and his men went directly toward the light-house and keeper's house. I landed, and with three
of my men was walking along the beach under partial cover of a low ridge, the others, with the pilot, remaining in the boat to bring it around the point.
As Captain McDermut approached the light-house a party of the enemy, numbering between 60 and 70, suddenly made their appearance from behind the light keeper's house and took three of the
Cayuga's boat's crew prisoners at once. The enemy commenced firing. We commenced retreating to our boats and succeeded in reaching them, but they were in shallow water and mud. The New London's crew were ordered to jump in the water and to try to shove it into deeper water, which was done. Captain McDermut and two of his men were in his boat, and when we were about 10 yards from him I saw him standing up and waving his white handkerchief to surrender, probably thinking that further attempt at escape was useless. The enemy then directed their fire upon the boat of the Wen London, pouring in volley after volley of rifle balls and buckshot. We returned the fire as efficiently as we could and succeeded in bringing off our boat, though in a crippled condition, and but one man in it was uninjured. Considering the murderous fire to which we were exposed and the over-whelming number of the enemy in comparison with our own, our escape is almost miraculous. The boat was completely riddled.
Lieutenant-Commander McDermut and his boat's crew are in the hands of the enemy.
I can not omit calling the attention of the Department to the efficient service rendered in this and all our other boat expeditions by James G. Taylor, pilot. Though severely wounded in two places, he kept firing at the enemy with good effect. I can not forbear mentioning the bravery and intrepidity of my boat's crew, all of whom, with one exception, were wounded, but who never the less brought the boat off to the vessel. 1 would particularly mention Gabriel Chalapas, ordinary seaman, who, notwithstanding a most severe and painful wound in the foot, kept his place at the oar from the time we left the beach until we reached the vessel.
1 herewith transmit the report of casualties by Acting Assistant
Surgeon L. H. Kendall.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
A. Kead,
Lieutenant- Commander.
Authors note. James G. Taylor, pilot; gunshot wounds of the hip, scrotum, and thigh; serious.
