Stupart spent less than a year in command of a troop of 2nd Dragoons before going on Half Pay on 25th March 1816. He remained on Half Pay until 1844, in that year taking up a captaincy vacated through a promotion in 26th (or Cameronian) Regiment of Foot, then promptly selling the captaincy to a lieutenant in the regiment and retiring on the proceeds of the sale. Francis Stupart married, in Dublin on 8th April 1821, Anne, a daughter of John Jameson of Alloa. There were three children of the marriage: Margaret Haig, born 1823; John, born 1825 and Robert, born 1827.
