Biography

James Steuart is a member of Clan Stewart.

Dr. James Steuart was born about 1755 in Maryland, British American Colonies. James Stewart was a medical doctor in Annapolis, Maryland.

James is described in Stewarts of the South as follows: "As far as I can learn this James of Balochallan although born in America was one of the most friendly & generous gentleman of the name of Stewart of the Ardvurlich descendants and had the means to support his generosity - He left three brothers the oldest of them [David] came home and was claiming the Estate of Balochallan [against his neice, Sophia Home-Steuart] but was rejected. Another of them was married to a niece of the celebrated & Gallant Gen Washington." (sic) James did not have a brother who was married to a niece of General George Washington, however his brother, Dr. Charles Steuart of Annapolis married Elizabeth Calvert whose sister was married to the stepson of General George Washington. This, perhaps, may be the source of the confusion.
