- James M.V. Stewart is the 3rd great grandson of James Stewart Sr. who was born at Alva, Clackmannanshire, Scotland in about 1726. He came to New Jersey as a young boy before the Battle of Culloden in 1746. He was illiterate and could not sign his will before his death at age 96 in 1822. About 1750 James married Mary Jemima Taylor who had been born and raised along the Susquehanna River area of New York State. She died in 1833 at the age of 109 years near Niagara Falls. They settled on a small farm at West Field, New Jersey about seven miles west of Elizabeth in Essex County. One daughter and six sons were born between 1750 and 1775. In 1772, due to the early hostilities with Britain, the family moved from New Jersey to a small farm a few miles west of Goshen, in Minisink Township, Orange County of New York State.
- The story of the Late (or Simcoe) Loyalists in Upper Canada has never really been told, either due to neglect or due to the extreme pressures exerted by the early Loyalist settlers. They felt that these Late Loyalists were traitors who had collaborated with the American Rebels and should not be accepted and given free Crown Land Grants. But Governor Simcoe did welcome a lot of these late comers into Upper Canada so that by the War of 1812 the Late Loyalists outnumbered the Early Loyalists by a ratio of about 4 to 1 according to Professor Dennis Duffy of the University of Toronto.
