I have an Isabella Lockhart born c. 1795 in Moffat. However she married a Kerr from Durisdeer and lived there for many years - did she meet him through Lockhart relatives? Or did her family move to Durisdeer.
I also have in my records a Helen Lockhart as a possible sister to Isabella. She was born Wamphray (near Moffat) in 1800 and her parents were James Lockhart and Janet Graham. I have no record of Isabella's birth, but there is a possibility that they were also her parents, given dates, location etc.
Isabella's children were: Jean, Janet, Margaret, Mary, Grizel, John, James, Isabella. Note how the name pattern could confirm that James and Janet were her parents.

The Stewart name is from my grandfather Charles Stewart Lockhart who went by Stewart and he got it from his maternal grandmother's maiden name.
