| Notes |
- James Stewart is buried with his wife and son Archibald Stewart in Kirkwall Cemetery, West Flamborough, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada. Canadian death records show that he was born 11 Nov 1780 in Thornhill, Kincardine, Perthshire, Scotland. This birth does not match with Kincardine parish records. The closest matches are listed below.
As James was 32 when he married Robina Horn and named his first son after her father, Archibald Horn, then it seems likely he had a previous marriage with a son named after his own father. The only candidate for such a family in the Kincardine OPR is: "James Stewart and Margaret Stewart - Moss, 1804 Septr 9, William, son to James Stewart and Margt Stewart, Moss." They had only the one child.
Unverified online trees suggest that James Stewart was the son of Walter Stewart and Janet Fisher in Boquapple (one of the 6 possible candidates below). Boquapple is near Thornhill, but no James with a son, Walter, has been found in Kincardine between 1800-1812.
(A Y-DNA candidate from this line would not likely be able to help us identify which, if any, of the following families is the correct one, unless the DNA came back to not match the Stewarts of Balquhidder at all.)
According to Canadian records, James last three children were born in Scotland although no records have been found of their births. According to family records, James' wife, Robina, died in 1831 in Edinburgh, so the family may have moved from Falkirk to Edinburgh prior to emigrating.
Marriage and birth records show James and his family in Beverly, West Flamborough, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada by at least 1842.

Stewarts of the South presents us with the following leads, none of which are an exact match:

This family originated in Rednock in Port of Menteith. It's possible that James' birth was in PoM, not in Thornhill.
