Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 410-411:
James Stewart, a farmer and carpenter in Gosfield North, is the last surviving member of a family long known in the County of Essex, where they were among the earliest of the pioneer settles, while still farther back he traces his ancestry to the famous Stewarts of Scotland. He was born in the County of Norfolk, Middleton township, Oct. 13, 1840, son of Rev. James and Jane (Philpox) Stewart.
     Originally three brothers came from Scotland to America: Charles, grandfather of our subject ... with his wife, Peggy, made his home in Mersea township... He had seven children, all now deceased: ... Rev. James...
     Rev. James Stewart was born in 1794. While he owned and lived on a farm, his life work was in the Baptist ministry... He was twice married... By the second union with Jane Philpox, born in Iona, Canada, in 1800, there were three children, namely: ... James...
     James Stewart was reared and educated in the County of Essex, and early learned the carpenter's trade. While he has always followed this to some extent, he bought a tract of wild land while he was still a young man, and has devoted his life mainly to farming. He now has a highly-productive farm on Concession 6, Lot 23, a place which he has himself cleared and cultivated, and on which he has built a number of unusually good buildings. To this home in 1861 he brought his wife, whose maiden name was Miss Julia Lane. She was born in Colchester South in 1846, the daughter of Aaron and Eleanor Lane, who were early settlers in that region, descendants from an old English family. Seven children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, but all have passed away save one daughter, Cecilia, the wife of John C. Hutchinson, a business man in Leamington, who has one daughter, Mildred.
     In their religious belief Mr. Stewart and his wife are Methodists, and are members of that church, in whose work they have always taken an active part. Politically Mr. Stewart has always adhered to the Reform party, but has not been prominent in politics, as his services to the public have always been in connection with educational work, as a school trustee, or in some similar position. In his home Mr. Stewart has been an admirable husband and father; as a citizen, public-spirited and honest; among his friends and neighbors, upright in conduct, genial in nature and charitable in thought and deed, so that he is held in high esteem, respected and honored.
