Carvell Monroe Stuart was born on 17 September 1918 in Calais, Maine, to Willard Graham Stuart (1878—1955) and Grace Leoneice Cook (1888—1986).[1] He had one sibling born before him — a brother, Lawrence Malcolm Stuart (1914—1992) — and three siblings born after him — sisters, Thelma Maxine Stuart (1920—1922), Genevieve Stuart (1924—2006), and Thelma Marjorie Stuart (1931—1994).
Notes: His name on the birth record is registered as "Carroll Munroe Stuart". This is incorrect, and is simply a mistake the writer of the birth record made. Additionally, his father's name is written as "Wm. S. Stuart", and once again it is a mistake.
