• Notes

  On 27 Apr 1830, James Stewart was born in Pidscow, Old Deer, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. His baptism was witnessed by his paternal uncles, John Stewart and Alexander Stewart, both in Hythie. James Stewart is not found with his parents in 1841 or 1851. He has not been confidently identified elsewhere in either census. In 1859, James Stewart married in Strichen, Old Deer, Aberdeenshire, Scotland to Isabella Hemingway. It is believed that they moved almost immediately to Brazil. James and his family are not found in the 1861 census in Scotland and are believed to have been living in Brazil at the time. James Stewart's first recorded child, Jane, was born in 1863 in Bakia, Brazil. Given the gap between his marriage in Aberdeen in 1859 and Jane's birth, it is possible that James and Isabella may had another other child while in Brazil who did not survive. The reason for their move to Brazil is not known for sure. It could be related to the fact that in the 1840s and 1850s, Britain was exercizing significant economic influence in Brazil under the direction of British Foreign Secretary, George Hamilton-Gordon, 4th Earl of Aberdeen Although Brazil was a Portuguese colony, Britain had strengthened its econimic ties with Brazil after supporting Portugal during the earlier Napoleanic Wars. By 1864, James and his family were back in Scotland and residing on the family croft at Upper Hythie. In 1871, James' wife, Isabella Stewart, was residing at Upper Hythie, Old Deer, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, with her five children all under the age of 10. James was not present and has not been found elsewhere in the 1871 census. Isabella was recorded as a crofter of 12 acres. On 13 Jul 1872, at age 42, James Stewart, crofter and mason, husband of Isabella Hemingway, died at Hythie, Old Deer, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, son of James Stewart, crofter (deceased) and Dorothy Sangster. Informant: William Mc~~~y, neighbour. Upon James' death, the family croft at Upper Hythie passed out of the Stewart family after five generations. Isabella married secondly on 7 Apr 1877 in Strichen, Aberdeen, Scotland to James Angus, b 1837 in Longside, Aberdeenshire and moved to Kininmonth, Old Deer, where James Angus was a crofter of 14 acres.
