Notes - Mary Stewart was born in 1802 in the clachan of Morell, Easter Glentarken, Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. The Comrie OPR records her place of birth as "Moril."
She was the third daughter of Robert Stewart and Catharine McNaughtan. It is not known if she married. Her whereabouts after immigration is unknown. 1842 census records indicate that three of the eldest daughters were resident in the Stewart household in Puslinch, but by 1851 these daughters had moved elsewhere. It's not known for certain if Mary was one of the three.
Mary's brother Peter Stewart recorded in his journal that one of his sisters was married prior to emigrating and that her husband contracted cholera and died on the journey from Scotland and that the family had to be quarantined because of this. Peter does not record which sister this was, but family tradition among Duncan Stewart's descendants maintained that it was the oldest sister. However this has now been shown to be incorrect as Margaret Stewart was married to William McCallum in Glasgow, prior to emigrating, and they are both found alive in Hamilton in 1851. Thus it may have been Mary whose husband died.
