William Stewart (Upper Canada and Canada West)
William Stewart (July 24, 1803 – March 21, 1856) was a businessman and political figure in Upper Canada and Canada West.
== Pre-political life==
He was born in Carbost on the Isle of Skye, Scotland in 1803 to Ronald Stewart and Isabella McLeod. He came to Glengarry County in Upper Canada, shortly after landing in Quebec, with his family of 9 siblings, recently widowed mother, grandmother, and uncle. He moved to Bytown, later Ottawa, in 1827, where he opened a store and tavern. He was elected to the first town council in 1828. He helped found the Carleton General Protestant Hospital, later the Ottawa Civic Hospital, and then the Wallis House.
During the 1830s, he was part of the Ottawa River timber trade and was a founding member of the Ottawa Lumber Association. He sold land in the Sandy Hill area of the town on behalf of Louis-Théodore Besserer. Stewart also operated a large farm along the Rideau River.
