Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 90-92:
Simeon M. Stewart is a representative member of one of the historic families of County Essex, and is now proprietor of the leading hotel at Ruthven. The family, as the name indicates, is of Scottish extraction.
     James Stewart, progenitor of the family in County Essex, was born in Argyllshire, Scotland, and always clung to the Highland costume, which, according to his clan, consisted of a kilted skirt, with sash and belt, a sword at his side, short hose and sandals. When he was quite young, the French war being then in progress a press-gang started on its rounds to gather up young men by force, for increasing the army, and a brother of James Stewart was captured, although he subsequently escaped. On account of his youth James did not seek to avoid the gang, but, to his dismay, he was also impressed and placed in a company called the Highland Watch, in the 42nd regiment, this being the first company that was raised in Scotland. He served faithfully through the entire war, and, after it closed, embarked for America. During the American Revolution he served as a colonel in the British army, and took part in the battle of Bunker Hill. Safely passing through this war also, he subsequently married, in Maryland, a Scottish-born maiden, Margaret Brown, and started with her across the Alleghany Mountains, she being the second white woman who had ever crossed voluntarily. They settled on a farm in Dunkard township, Greene county, Pennsylvania, and in the course of time eight children were born to them, four sons - James, John, Daniel and Charles - and four daughters - Sophia, Mary, Jane and one whose name is not recorded.
     [Story of James Stewart's death at the hands of the Indians, and James and John being captured and taken to Malden. John escaped, and later James acquired a farm of several hundred acres near Cedar Creek.] In 1805, the mother, then seventy-four years old, accompained by her sons and their families, came to Canada, where she died in 1838, at the advanced age of 107 years.
