Notes - Pvt. James D. Stewart and Lucy McMillan
in St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada
Pvt. James D. Stewart, b. 4 Jun 1807, Dullater, Port of Menteith, Perthshire, Scotland , d. 9 Nov 1896, Harriston, Minto Township, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada (Age 89 years). James was the third child of Duncan Stewart Jr in Kirkline and Agnes McGregor shown above. James married on 12 Nov 1835 in Scotch Presbyterian Church, Dundee Huntingdon County, Québec, Canada to Lucy McMillan, b. 20 Jul 1817, Fassfern, Kilmalie, Argyll, Scotland , d. 26 Jul 1862, St. Anicette, Huntingdon County, Québec, Canada (Age 45 years).
James D Stewat was born in Dullater on the south shore of Loch Venachar in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. His middle initial likely stands for Duncan, but we do not know for sure.
In 1809, when James was two years old, his family moved to Kirkline on the Blair Drummond Moss in Kincardine-by-Doune, Perthshire, Scotland.
The 1814 Moss Census shows James' parents, Duncan Stewart and Agnes McGregor, with their children: Alexander 14, Mary 9, James 7, Jannet 7, James (sic) 5, Archibald 3, and John 1. The fact that there are two children named James is likely an error (unless the second James was a nephew or other relative). Whether it was an enumerator or transcriber error, we do not know.
In 1818, his family left Scotland and immigrated to St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada.
In 1825, James' father, Duncan Stewart is shown residing in a house with 11 occupants: 2 under the age of 6 (Charles 6 and Daniel 3); 2 between 6-14 (John 13 and Peter 9); 2 between 14-18 (Archibald 16 and Jannet 16); 2 males between 18-25 (Alexander and James D); one male over 60 (Duncan 50); one single female between 14-45 (Mary); one married female between 14-45 (unknown); and one married female over 45 (Agnes McGregor). Also residing in Dundee at the time was Robert Stewart with one child under 6, one male 18-25, and one married female between 14-45. Robert is of no known relation to Duncan.
On 12 Nov 1835, James Stewart married Lucy McMillan in Dundee, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada. James was residing in Godmanchester Township (which included St. Anicet), Huntingdon County, Quebec, at the time.
The 1838 Muster Rolls for Capt. Patrick Buchanan’s Company, includes: Corporal Alexander Stewart, Pvt John Ferguson, Pvt Archibald Stewart, Pvt James Stewart, Pvt Peter Stewart. Capt. RB Somerville’s Company includes Pvt John Stewart. And the Dundee Local Militia 1838 paylist: Corp. Alexander Stewart, Corp. John Ferguson.
In 1842, Duncan Stewart's widow, Agnes McGregor, was residing in Godmanchester (which included St. Anicet) where she is recorded in the census as "Widow Stewart" with 5 inhabitants in her home. Next to her was Alex Stewart with 7 inhabitants, Peter Stewart with 3 inhabitants, and James Stewart with 5 inhabitants.
In 1851, at age 44, James Stewart, a farmer, was residing in St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada, with his wife, Lucy McMillan, age 36, and their children: Duncan 15, Ewan 11, Archibald 9, Agnes 7, Mary 5, Janet 2
In 1861, at age 54, James Stewart was residing in St. Anicette, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada with his wife Lucy and their children Hugh, Agnes, Mary, Jannet, Sarah Ann, Jane E M, and Catherine Lucy. James was employed as a farmer. They were residing next door to 75 year old Duncan McIntosh, born in Scotland, and his wife Catherine, age 67, born in Lower Canada. They had the following family living with them:
Nancy Stewart, age 35, born in Scotland
Nancy 10, born in Lower Canada, Duncan 9, Angus 6, Walter 4, Archibald 3, all born in Lower Canada.
In 1871, at age 62, the widowed James D Stewart, a farmer, was residing in St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada, with his children Ewan 29, Archibald 27, Mary 23, Kenneth 21, Sarah G 18, Jane EM 15. Living next door was his son Donald G Stewart and his wife Catherine, with 65 year old Nancy Stewart.
Family records indicate that James' wife Lucy died 26 JUL 1862 in St. Anicette, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada.
In 1871, at age 62, James D Stewart, a widower and farmer, was residing at St. Anicette, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada, with his adult children: Ewan (Hugh) and Archibald, Mary, Jeanette, Sarah A, Jane E M. Living next door is his son Donald and his wife Catherine along with 65 year old Nancy. Living three farms away is Alexander Stewart, 45, born in Quebec, Christy, 42, Angus 15, Norman 14, Annie 12, Jane 10, Muran? 8, Mary 7, Kenneth 5, Catherine 3.
Minto Township records for 1867 show a James Stewart living on Concession 9, Lot 29, and owning his own home. It's possible this could be the same James in transition, or it could be a different James.
Sometime between 1871-1881, James moved to Harriston, Minto Township, Wellington County, Ontario.
In 1881, at age 74, James D Stewart was residing in Harriston, Wellington North, Ontario, Canada with his daughters adult Jennie and Sarah A. The census mistakenly records the daughters placed of birth as Ontario.
James died 24 Nov 1896 in Harriston, Minto, Ontario, Canada. James Stewart is buried in Zion United Church Cemetery, St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada.
