• Notes

  James moved to Clapham, Yorkshire, England and married a woman named Louisa. Stewarts of the South says that James became "a clark in London." According to Mrs. Stewart of Milton's Account, "James, another uncle of mine, left there [Glen Finglas] and went to England, and was factor on properties in Lancashire. His daughter married the Honourable Viscount Peel, Lord Ashton." (This would appear to be Arthur Wellesley Peel, 1st Viscount Peel, MP and Speaker of the House of Commons, 3 AUG 1829 to 24 OCT 1912 who is recorded as having married Adelaide Dugdale and having had a son William Wellesley Peel, 2nd Viscount Peel, later Earl Peel, b 1929. Mrs Stewart of Milton's claim here is hard to fathom: that a Viscount would marry a clerk's daughter who descended from a farming family in Glen Finglas. However, the daughter in question was her first-cousin, so one would think she'd have first-hand knowledge, despite the fact that she had at least 24 Stewart surnamed first-cousins (and an unknown number of first-cousins by her aunts who married non-Stewarts whom we are not tracking.) It seems far more likely that one of these daughters married someone in the employ of the Viscount, rather than the Viscount himself. James and his family have not been found in census records after 1851 and may have emigrated.
