Notes - Jannett/Jane Stewart was only 13 years old when her father died.
In 1763, Jane's uncle, Patrick Stewart, dictated a detailed family tree, which was subsequently added to by Dr. James Caraway in 1789, in which Jane is described as "Jane married John Stewart, a Scotchman, and lives near Woodville in the State of Mississippi, has no children [as of 1789]."
Janet Stewart married John "Jock" Stewart, a half-pay British Captain. As Jock was a British Loyalist and as their first child was born in Scotland in 1783, it seems likely that they fled to Scotland after the the American Revolution and did not return to the USA until it was safe to do so.
In 1801, her husband is believed to be the John Stewart residing in Montgomery, Tennessee, USA, on 100 acres, next to her brothers, Charles, Duncan and James.
