Biography

Janet Cameron was the wife of Sir Walter Stewart of Arthurlie and appears as such in a Charter, under the Great Seal, on 25 Jun 1489, to Thomas Stewart, of Minto, and Isobel Stewart, his wife, of the lands of Househill in the Lordship of Dornlee in the sheriffdom of Renfrew. The Charter states that these lands were those of Janet Cameron, the spouse of the late Lord Walter Stewart of Arthurlie, and which she, stated as the mother to Isobel, resigns.[1]

They had two children:

  1. Isabel Stewart, who married Thomas Stewart of Minto.
  2. Elizabeth Stewart d. bef. 31 Aug 1496.

On 14 Mar 1482/83 there is a Charter, under the great Seal, to Elizabeth Stewart, and Isobel Stewart, spouse of Thomas Stewart, of Minto, daughters and heirs of the late Walter Stewart, of Arthurlie (a witness to the Charter). It is certain, from this Charter, that Isobel was already married while the implication is that Elizabeth was not.[2]

Research Notes

  • Although Janet Cameron was the widow of Sir Walter Stewart of Arthurlie as of 1489, she may or may not have been the mother of the two children shown. The charter makes it clear she was the mother of Isobel. Elizabeth is not mentioned in that Charter and may already be dead. Both are named as legitimate co-heirs to Sir Walter Stewart of Arthurlie and he was known only to have had one wife.
  • I suspect the dates, born 1392, is incorrect on this profile. I will come back to it.
