She was the daughter of Andrew Stewart who was born in 1544 in Ochiltree, Ayrshire. and Margaret Stewart who was born in 1545 in Methven, Perth.
Jean Stewart fell ill from some sort of fever and went to see the queen's physician Martin Schöner at court in London, but he gave her no hope and she died at Stilton on her way back to Scotland on 16 August 1605. The chronicle said she died of "eittik" or "hectic", meaning pulmonary consumption.
Jean Stewart was buried with her husband in the new burial aisle she had built at Ballantrae close to Ardstinchar Castle. The monument has been discussed in connection with the architecture of Anna of Denmark and David Cunningham of Robertland. It has been suggested the monument may be the work of the master mason David Scoughall.
