Hi Lyn - We have the same "myth" in my husband's family.  He is Ian Derek Stuart.  His mother was Mary Eileen Stuart nee Mills, born 1913, Ealing ( a first cousing to Sandro Bullock-Webster). Her mother was Kathleen Mary Elise Stevens, born Brixton, ca. 1884.  Kathleen's mother was Kate (Catherine) Stuart Scotcher, born Wrexham, Denbighshire, ca. 1854, whose father Nicholas Stuart Scotcher was born in Welshpool, Montgomeryshire, ca. 1814.  We were always told that the name Stuart came down the female line.  Not all the Stuarts left the country with Queen Henrietta.  Some of the Blantyre Stuarts seem to have stayed.  I have no way of going further back with Nicholas Stuart Scotcher. If anybody has any information please post.  -  Ingrid
