Stuart was the family name of the offspring of a Scottish dessident who came to settle the area in the 1730's after fleeing religious persecution in Britain.ecords in the Augusta County Courthouse indicate Thomas Stuart, Archibald's son obtained a deed for 353 acres in the Stuarts Draft in 1749. He is acknowledged as Stuarts Draft's founder. The name Stuarts Draft was first used nearly 100 years later in 1837, when a post office opened.
