 James Stuart, son of Duncan Stuart and Ann Winchester.Born Oct 8, 1664 at Newbury, Essex, Massachusetts, died Sep 17, 1750 at Rowley, Essex, Massachusetts, 85 years RFN1128 BIOGRAPHY Bibliographic Information: Stuart, Joseph A. Genealogical History of the DuncanStuart Family in America. Caxton Press. 1894 James Stua rt, son of Duncan, as he styles himself in the deed of 1718, was born in Newbu ry Oct. 8, 1664, and with his wife Elizabeth had James, July 19, 1688; Charles , Jan. 16, 1690; then moved to Rowley and had Edward, Sept. 20, 1693; Abigail, Nov. 26, 1695; Solomon, July 24, 1698; Benjamin, Mar. 3, 1700-buried Mar. 20, 1702; David, Jan. 9, 1702-choked to death by a copper coin, Jan. 10, 1706; an d at Boxford, Moses, July 9, 1712. In the deed of 1718 he is recorded a s of Boxford, and in one of Mar. 17, 1724, as of Bradford, buying back land i n Rowley. His wife probably died 29th Dec., 1747, as in the book of deaths in Rowley there is the record of "the wife of James Stewart" dying then. James is recorded, "died, James Stewart in his 86th year, 17th Sept.,1750." Presumabl y of his son James I find a marriage record of "James Stewart and Sarah Prime. both of Rowley, 23 June, 1733." Also the marriage record of "James Stewart an d Mary Boynton, both of Rowley, 11th Jan. or June, 1742." She was a daughter of Jonathan Boynton and born 21st of Aug., 1720; the marriage dates are from d ifferent volumes, vols. VI and X'X, of Essex Institute Historical Collections, as given to me. This marriage could hardly refer to James, son of Duncan or to his son, on account of disparity in age, but rather to a great-grandson of Duncan. Mary's mother married David Gage, of Bradford,May 12, of the same yea r. A marriage is recorded of James Stewart and Sarah Prime, both of Rowley, 25 June, 1733, probably James' son, then 45 years old. James daughter Abigail se ems to have married John Yell, of Ipswich, 29 Nov., 1736, she then being 42 ye ars old. His son Solomon, born 1698, and wife Martha have a record of Benjamin , Jan. 26, 1729; Solomon, Jan. 14, 1730; Phineas, Mar. 27, 1732. A Daniel, so n of Solomon, was baptised at Salem, middle precinct, now South Danvers, Nov. 24, 1734; also William, in March, 1737.--A Solomon kept a store in Boxford abo ut 1730, where he sold stationery, and later a William was a stationer there. In Boxford is the record of "William Stuart married Abigaell Standly, M ar. 3, 1736; also "George and Sarah Stuart had:--Sarah, July 4, 1745; William, March 24, 1746; George, Dec. 16,1748." Whether these belong to James' record I could not decide.
