Surnames: Stuart Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AmJBAIB/1020.1054.2 Message Board Post: I also have info that Mary Queen of Scots and Henry Darnley Stuart are my ancestors. I have some sketchy info on a Colonel Stuart (1700's) who had a son Captain Alexander Stuart M: 1812 Frances Smith. They had 7 children. I am the ggrandaughter of their eldest Frances Caroline Does any of this fit with your informatiion? I believe I am a descendent of a brother of Henry Darnley

Hi - not sure if you mean you are descended from both Henry and his brother, or just his brother? Anyway, go to www.genealogics.org and do a name search using the spelling of Stuart for Henry, Lord Darnley. You can click up and down the generations and you will find he only had 1 brother Charles Stuart, Earl of Lennox who was father of 1 daughter, Arabella Stuart. Just quickly here is some of what I know - take your pick Henry, Lord Darnley only had the 1 legit son, James VI & I James VI & I had 7 legit children, inc Charles I Charles I had 9 legit children, inc Charles II and James VII & II Charles II had 0 legit but 12 illegiti children James VII & II had 15 legit and 5 illegit, including James VIII of Scots James VIII Scots had 2 legit sons, inc his son Bonnie Prince Charlie Generally it is said Bonnie Prince Charlie left no children, sometimes you will see references to daughters Clementina and Charlotte and sons James and Charles. These lineages have been obscured for political reasons. It is suspected he left one legitimate son and up to about 12 illegit children - there are many books on the topics, some very old, some very new - some appear genuine, others not quite so. It is a political hot potato but I know of someone who descended from him whose family always covered the political incorrectness by saying they were descended from Mary, Queen of Scots and Lord Darnley.
