Biography
Robert Stewart is a member of Clan Stewart.
This profile is part of the Stewart Name Study.
Robert Stewart was born about 1665 near Glasgow, Scotland, in the reign of Charles II. He was the son of John Stewart and his wife Janet McGilchrist. [1]
Upon the death of his father (in 1720), he also moved into Ireland, locating in Drumore township, county Down, twelve miles from Belfast. The people of this county, as a whole are of Scottish origin. The Ayrshire dialect was commonly spoken till towards the end of the 18th century. This county is remarkable for its inequality of surface and number of hills, from which its name originated.
The lives of father and son, John and Robert Stewart, therefore embraced the most remarkable period in the history of England commencing in the reign of Charles I, through the Commonwealth under Cromwell, Charles II, James II, William and Mary, Queen Anne, George I and into the reign of George II.
He died in 1730.
