Here, we have without source, wife of James Stewart Isabella Edmondstone (m. James Stewart) as their daughter AND as the gg-grandmother of another profile currently in question: William David Crockett, III ; which would make her also (if ever proven) the 5th g-grandmother of Davy Crockett

For Isabella's 'husband', James Stewart, of Ballintoy , WikiTree has https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Stewart-4338 with "spouse UNKNOWN".

WikiTree only has two children accounted for with Helen Stirling: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Stirling-324

The James Stewarts may be mixed up.

This is what I got for an updated James Stewart, of Ballintoy

There is uncertainty that his given name was James; what we know is that "sons of Archibald" moved to Antrim from Isle of Butte. There is no supporting evidence that his wife was called Isabella Edmonstone.


From Stewart Clan Magazine, Volumes 1-10 (1922) page 34 < GoogleBooks >

James Stewart12 (Archibald11, Ninian10) was settled in Antrim, Ireland, about 1560. This was long before the plantation of Ulster by the Scotch, which began about 1610, at the same period as the English colonization of America. This Stewart family from Bute settled first at a place called Dunseverick but later moved to Ballinstraid [now Straidh], in the parish of Ballintoy. James died before 1600, having four children:

  1. Ninian, born about 1525
  2. David, had three sons
  3. Jean
  4. Christian, married Brien Dunlop

I'll detach wife of James Stewart from parents.
