Early life


James Haldane Stewart was born in Boston, Massachusetts, the third son of Duncan Stewart of Ardsheal (died 1793). His father was 10th Chief of Clan Appin, and married in 1767 Anne Erving of Boston. She was the daughter of Hon. John Erving of Connecticut, loyalist Governor of Boston and a member of His Majesty's Council for the Province and his wife, Anne Shirley, the daughter of William Shirley colonial, Governor of the Province of Massachusetts Bay and owner of the Shirley-Eustis House. He was educated at Dr Valpy’s school in Reading, Berkshire and Eton College, after which he trained at Lincoln's Inn, for a career in law. Stewart was converted in 1802 through his contact with the Anglican clergyman William Marsh and Thomas Tyndale.

Stewart matriculated in 1803 at Exeter College, Oxford and graduated B.A. in 1806 and M.A. in 1811. He was ordained deacon in 1806 and priest in 1807; and was appointed curate of Basildon with Ashampstead in Berkshire in 1809. From 1812 to 1828 he officiated at Percy Chapel in London, despite suffering a breakdown in health in 1817 which necessitated a visit to the Continent.
He was the first minister of St Bride's Church, Liverpool, on 29 December 1830. He named the street there Percy Street, after the Percy Chapel, which was in Percy Street, London.
