From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Colonel Lord Evelyn James Stuart (7 May 1773-16 August 1842), was a British soldier and Tory politician.
Stuart was the second son of John Stuart, 1st Marquess of Bute, son of Prime Minister John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute. His mother was the Hon. Charlotte Jane, daughter of Herbert Windsor, 1st Viscount Windsor. Stuart was elected to the House of Commons in February 1794, succeeding his deceased elder brother Lord Mount Stuart, but was not allowed to take his seat in Parliament until his twenty-first birthday in June of the same year. He continued to represent the constituency until 1802, when he was replaced by his younger brother Lord William Stuart. On the latter's decease in 1814 Stuart was elected to succeeded him, and held the seat until 1818, when he was replaced by another member of the family, his nephew Lord Patrick Crichton-Stuart. Apart from his political career he served in the British Army and achieved the rank of Colonel.
Stuart died in August 1842, aged 69. He never married.
