wife of James Stewart

Parents unknown. Not a known daughter of Sir James Edmonstone of Duntreath, 6th of Duntreath

James Stewart settled in Ireland about 1560. The family settled at a place called Dunseverick, and later moved to Ballinstraid, in the parish 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 Bute.

"James Stewart was married to Isabella Edmondstone (1542–1580)"
There is no supporting evidence that his wife was called Isabella Edmonstone.

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 1562
2. David, had three sons
3. Jean
4. Christian, married Brien Dunlop
