• Notes

  Lt Col Hon James Stuart, born 17 April 1741 ; captain 20th Foot, 24 February 1762; lieutenant-colonel Sutherland Fencible Regiment, 1793 ; deputy-governor of Fort George, 13 January 1777 ; captain North British Veteran Battalion, 21 April 1803. Died at Fort George 4 May 1808. He died unmarried. (Research):There is a theory that he had a child, Margaret Flora Stuart (1771-1847) who married Archibald (sometimes called James) Douglas. Archibald's elder daughter, Maria Esperanza was born in 1795 and at the time of his younger daughter's, Margaret Flora, marriage in 1818, he was referred to as the late Mr. Douglas of the West Indies. The confusion may lie with this: Inveresk grave marker: Sacred to the memory of MARIA, widow of the Hon. Colonel James Stuart; died 30th July 1830. Also HENRY and MELNOTH, children of the late John Campbell, Esq., Bengal Civil Service; died 6th Nov. 1835. JAMES STUART, Esq., captain R.N., died 17th Nov. 1838. MARIA STUART, spinster, died 15th Feb. 1843. MARGARET, widow of Archibald Douglas, Esq., died 24th April 1847.
