On July 7, 1922, Edmund B. Stewart, son of the early Montgomery settler [[Charles B. Stewart]], claimed in a letter that his father had drafted the original design of the [[Flag of Texas|Lone Star Flag]], enclosing what he claimed was his father's draft of the flag's design.<ref name=Searle/> To date, this letter and draft copy, along with claims by Stewart's descendants, remain the only evidence currently known that Charles Stewart was the designer of the flag.<ref name=Spain>Spain, Charles A.
