Pulliam as a reliable source
David L. Pulliam, “The Constitutional Conventions of Virginia from the Foundation of the Commonwealth to the Present Time” (1901) is listed in William Hamilton Bryson’s “Virginia Law Books: essays and bibliographies, volume 239” (2000) on page 235.

David L. Pulliam, Jacob N. Brenaman and William J. Van Schreeven are referenced as reliable sources for “comprehensive analyses of Virginia Conventions” by the Constitutional scholar John J. Dinan in his Biographical Essay in his “The Virginia Constitution: a reference guide, part 56.” (2006) page 231. -- John Dinan is professor at Wake Forest University in the Department of Politics and International Affairs. His “The Virginia State Constitution: a reference guide” is published by Praeger of Westport, Connecticut and London, of the Greenwood Publishing Group that publishes scholarly reference works qualifying as reliable sources on Wikipedia.

possible problem with birth/death dates
I only managed to find one census result for him. The name is common and I can't/won't spend hours, but he seemed difficult to find on ancestry.com, so there might be a problem with the birth and death dates. I don't know when I'll be in Luray and probably the only way to verify his identity is through a courthouse record search.Frankly, I've found problems with Pulliam's volume in the past, but since this James E Stewart also shows up in Leonard's and Swem's volume, obviously he existed.Jweaver28 (talk) 19:32, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
