• Are there no paintings of him?

• Well...yes! This one crops up on a number of amateur sites, but I can find no source or provenance for it. One of these is Stewart, I think #65?, but I can't say for sure and the image is very poor.

• I don't think Scotland was a follower of Henry George's philosophy. Is it a property tax?

• Charnock calls the position "receiver-general of Scotland", and Haden-Guest terms it "Receiver of land tax in Scotland" or "receiver general of the land tax in Scotland". Past that I really don't know anything about it so am going off the title, but have changed the link to Land Tax (England).

• No mention of his youngest son's name?

• He died too soon to be recorded in any of the usefully detailed peerages. As far as I can tell the only source people have used before for his name (apparently Edward Charles Stewart) is this amateur site which references it to an email somebody sent them in 2007.

• Stewart was also appointed receiver general of land tax in Scotland in 1773, however this position could not actually be held by an MP and so another man officially held it while Stewart continued to collect the salary. In 1783 the salary was instead given to Murray. needs a citation

• It is cited to Haden-Guest, but having read the source again I'm re-wording it.

Reading the article is a treat. The flow is excellent. I am most let down by how little we know about Stewart's life. Everything else checks out. --Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 21:30, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
