....Sorry, but there is no deposed "Stuart clan". You mean Lady Elizabeth
Stuart married aged 10? When did Isaac Sr. go to America? And when
was Isaac Jr. born? Somewhere these dates don't seem correct to me.
Is this a 'family story' handed on?
I have certainly not all Elizabeth Stuart/Stewart in my computer,
but I had a look and could not find one (in the correct period). When
you call her Lady, her father has to be an Earl, Marquess, Duke. Is it
known what his title was?
Best wishes,
