That's an interesting bit about the Stewart in Spain.

What can we find out about the Stuart who was supposedly the ambassador to Turin? I believe it was mentioned by Charles Stewart and then a Google search I did brought up something about the Brigadier and how Irwin Stuart was his grandson. It said a Stuart (maybe Irwin) had a relative who lived in Italy in a convent and wanted him to send one of his daughters but he wouldnt. I'll try to find the link.

It's all very confusing. I'm sure I read somewhere too that these Stuarts/Stewarts/Steuarts were not related to any of the other Stewarts in Ireland.

Well they are from Fife...and Perthshire so far, so I'd take the bit "not related to any of the other Stewarts in Ireland"  as a very sweeping statement to make!

Are the other Stewart lines in Ireland originally connected with siblings of any other the Fife or Perthshire ones from that Generation or earlier etc or Stewart families they intermarried with in Scotland in e.g 11th Century?
 

plenty of people make statements like that because they haven't found proof they were not related!!

e.g... you have John Stewart of Red Bay!

His brother George's Will was posted on other thread, on that it mentions a Marriage Agreement (to a mcAuley or similar)  dated  17something, that should get Father's Name

so that ties 2 Stewarts by that marriage Catherine to John of Red Bay, so the Red Bay ones connect to Ballintoy ones.... BUT then one can look to see if John and George connect to the other ones very nearby, or not!

"The family of George Stewart is not mentioned in the Hutchinson Bequest."... but is John his brother??

Do the Red Bay ones connect to Gracehill ones??

[hallmark]

They settled in Dunseverick...then moved!

Did any of the nearby ones settle in Dunsevick first and then one of them move to Gracehill??

[hallmark]

Archie was related to Archie....

So the Ballintoy ones bring in Red Bay one, Ramoan ones..do other ones nearby connect??  etc etc...
