Notes - James Stewart was orphaned at the age of only 20 months after his father died, with his mother having died nearly a year prior. James' siblings were raised by their Uncle Peter Stewart and Aunt Catherine Stewart on the Stewart farm in west Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada.
In 1851, James Stewart was residing in the nearby city of Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario in the care of his aunt and uncle Margaret (nee Stewart) and William McCallum. He would still have been at a nursing age, so would have needed to be with a family who could nurse him. His aunt Margaret McCallum in Hamilton was still nursing, whereas his aunt Catharine Stewart in Puslinch was not.
In 1861, James was residing in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada with his Uncle Peter and Aunt Catherine and his brother and sister Hugh and Catherine.
In 1866 James witnessed the wedding of his brother Robert Stewart at Central Presbyterian Church in Hamiltonm Wentworth, Ontario, Canada. Robert was residing in Chicago, Cook, Illinois, USA at the time. After that James disappears from records.
Two possible matches has been found in 1870 for a James Stewart born in Canada and living in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, USA not far from his brother, Robert Stewart, however these are unconfirmed. No match has been found for James in the 1881 census in Canada or the 1880 in the USA. It is possible that James may have died between 1866-1881.
