Sir James Stewart, 7th Baronet (c. 1756 – 20 May 1827) was an Irish politician.
Stewart was born the eldest son and heir of Sir Annesley Stewart, 6th Baronet of Fort Stewart, County Donegal, and Mary (née Moore) Stewart. His father was an MP for Ballynakill in the Parliament of Ireland. He was educated privately and at Trinity College, Dublin and succeeded his father in 1801.[1]
His paternal grandparents were Gertrude (née Baillie) Moore (a daughter of Capt. Francis Baillie) and John MooreofDrumbanagher, also an MP for Ballynakill.[1]
From 1783 to 1790, he represented Enniskillen in the Parliament of Ireland.[2] He was appointed High Sheriff of Donegal for 1799 and served in that role until 1800. In 1802, he represented County Donegal in the Parliament of the United Kingdom, serving until 1818.[1]
On 19 December 1778, Steward married Mary Susanna Whaley, the daughter of Richard Chapell Whaley, MP of Whaley Abbey. Together, they were the parents of two sons and three daughters,[1] including:[3]
Sir James died on 20 May 1827 and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his son, James.[3] As his son died without issue in 1879, the baronetcy passed to a distant cousin, Augustus Abraham James Stewart (1832–1889), who became the 9th Baronet.[3]
