Biography
James (Stewart) Stewart Ist of Traquair is a member of Clan Stewart.
James Stewart (1st Earl of Buchan) had several illegitimate children with his mistress Margaret Murray (b. ca. 1446), many of whom were later legitimized by a royal charter issued in 1488–1489.
James Stewart, 1st Laird of Traquair (1480–1513), was the founder of the Traquair family. He was gifted the Traquair estate by his father in 1491. He obtained letters of legitimation, and married the heiress of the Rutherfords, with whom he received the estates of Rutherford and Wells in Roxburghshire. He was killed at the Battle of Flodden Field. He was the ancestor of John Stewart, 1st Earl of Traquair.

Stewart-15771 and Stewart-1185, This is my ancestry, they are the same person, there must be a difference in some info, as It did not show on entry. so duplication occurred.

Stewart-15771 and Stewart-1185 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, father, BOD and DOD. One was just created today.

I'm not sure, Eugene. I agree with you that usually the earlier of the two entries is the one that remains.
