This daughter of James Young and Sarah Ricketts Brady married Dr Thomas A Stewart, Feb, 1842, in Indiana Co, Pennsylvania, USA.

Julia Stewart crossed the Red River into Texas in a covered wagon Christmas Eve, 1855, with her husband, Dr Thomas Stewart and five children, accompanied by her brother, W W Brady.

The Stewarts were enroute to Parker County, but were compelled to settle in the area that would become Wise County by the assets the area offered. They bought some land and built a home on Oliver Creek.

Following the Civil War, she and Dr Stewart moved to Kansas, then, to Oregon, returning to Texas in 1899 to live out lives surrounded by their family.
