1940 - Census - Cannot find.  Some family trees have John and Jewel in Texas under Thomas and Jewel Stewart with no children with them.  However, their daughter Glenita Joan was born in 1939, in Shreveport, LA.  In 1940, their daughter would be with them.  They are most likely in either Arkansas or Louisiana or possibly Oklahoma during this Census.  According to the WWII Registrations for both John Sr and John Jr, John Jr was also still living at home in Bradley, AR in 1942.  So chances are, he was still living with parents in 1940.
