John Stewart, born 1773 in Perthshire, Scotland. He lived in Blairgowrie, Perthshire where his children were born. He emigrated with four of his sons to Flamborough County, Ontario in the 1830s.
4X great grandfather Charles was his son. Charles married Anne Niven in Bendochy church a few miles from Blairgowrie. It is a rural area and the churchyard contains a lot of Stewarts so it is possible that our family were farmers in the area.
Charles went to Dundee where he became a mason. There was a mason in Dundee named Alexander Stewart who may have been his Uncle and who taught him the trade.
Charles and family emigrated to Canada in 1863 joining his brothers near Hamilton. John had died in 1856.
