• Notes

  James Stewart's notes: "David Stewart married and had three children, Catherine, another daughter and a son, names unknown. Went to Antigua, thence to Brooklyn, New York. Last heard from in 1865. David fell heir to his widowed mother’s property in Hairst Lone (now Hairst Street) Renfrew, which was sold on his behalf by his cousin Robert Stewart, born 1822, son of Duncan Stewart and Janet Dunlop." It is not known when David left Scotland. He was having children in Antigua between 1843-1852 and appears in the New York census in 1855 and 1860. As David was the younger brother to Adam Stewart, it is not known why David inherited the proceeds from his mother's Hairst Lone property instead of Adam. As Adam was in Canada at the time, it is speculated that the family may have lost contact with Adam. He may be the David Stewart, age 30, residing in 1841 in Graham's Close, Saltmarket Street, Glasgow, employed as a joiner (carpenter), with Merran Stewart (29), Elizabeth Stewart (5), Grace Stewart (3), and David Stewart (64, joiner).
