The Stewarts. Well I know there to have been two William Stewarts who were Scottish Plantationers in Ireland. William Stewart of Ramelton had a daughter in law named Rebecca who apparently migrated from Donegal to the Americas in 1732. The information I saw notes this Rebecca Stewart (Nee Galbraith) moved with her five children and settled at Donegal Township, Lancaster, Pen USA. The five kiddies would have been descendents of the Laird of Fintalloch, Wigtownshire, Scotland

The second reference is to a Archibald Stewart b 1737 and his brothers William and James who migrated to the Americas. Archibald Stewart died at Springdale, Sussex County aged 59 years. It is stated this Archibald Stewart was a member for the Sussex County in the Provincial Congress. Said to be about the Revolution timeframe. This Archibald was a descendent of the Lairds of Dunduffe from Maybole Parrish, Ayrshire, Scotland

Both of these family groups would claim family lines to the Stewart Kings of Scotland.  Both families were loyal Royalist supporters.

If those places exist in Pen USA and Springdale, Sussex County it would be well worth considering their line to Royalty. The Scottish/Irish Stewart Families are very well documented and also very confusing
