Stewart, Mary Elizabeth (I17776)
 
2
In 1861, at age 25, John Stewart was residing in McNab, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada, with his widowed mother and sister Ann. They were living next door to his future wife, 16 year old Marion Gilchrist and her family.

In 1871, at age 35, John Stewart was residing in McNab, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada with his wife and children. He was a farmer. Also living with them was 17 year old Alexander Stewart, working as a farm hand.

In 1881, at age 45, John Stewart was residing in McNab, Renfrew, Ontario, Canada, as a widower with his children. John's sister Annie was also residing with him.

According to a descendant, John resided in Churchfield, McNab.

"John Stewart, son of the Stewart that drowned, owned the property (where the Canaan Free Church is located near Burnstown, MacNab, Ontario, Canada) and was ever afterwards known as "Churchfield" Stewart"

"The story behind the establishment of the Canaan Church is quite inspiring.

As it is written... "one of the earliest tragedies of McNab Township happened one Sunday, around 1836. The settlers were coming to attend a service in John Fisher's barn. This was on the south side of the Madawaska on the farm now owned by Allan McLeod. There being no bridge, those from the north side crossed the turbulent Madawaska at Johnston's Rock by canoe. A number had safely crossed the swiftly swirling waters, when a canoe capsized carrying John McNab (known as Auchessan McNab), John Stewart, and Blacksmith McArthur and the latter's two small children. (Mrs. McArthur and a baby had crossed ahead.) McArthur and his little girl, who had climbed on her daddy's back, were the only ones to reach the south shore alive. The child in his arms was dead and the other two men were swept away and drowned." (1836)

John Stewart was my GGG Grandfather.

This John Stewart married Christina McIntyre in Perthshire, Scotland. Their first daughter Annie was born in Scotland in 1829 before they immigrated to Canada. According to available records, it seems the Stewarts immigrated to Canada with Peter (and family) and John McIntyre (Christine’s brothers) in the late summer of 1831. When they immigrated John would have been around 28 years old. His daughter Margaret and son John*** were both born in Canada. When John Stewart drowned, his kids were aged 2, 5 and 8. Christina never remarried.

The interesting outcome of the tragic story of John Stewart drowning in the mighty Madawaska is that his son who was also named John Stewart, also referred to as John "Churchfield" Stewart, is the one (via his Mother Christina McIntyre) who gave the land for the original Free Church, named Canaan, as it was built in 1849. Years later, a new church was built in Renfrew and today what remains of the original church is a rock cairn and a plaque.

A beautiful story-- from a terrible tragedy, Christina McIntyre Stewart with her strong resolve, gave back to her community from the little that she possessed. It is a statement of FAITH and FORTITUDE.

***John was born about 1835 in McNab Township, Renfrew, Ontario to John Stewart and Christina McIntyre. He married Marion Gilchrist Stewart Aug 10, 1861 in McNab Township, where all their 10 children were born.
Marion suffered general debility for following the birth of their last child and died Oct 1878, 4 months after that birth.
John then married Marion Gilchrist Forrest on Mar 17, 1885 in McNab and they had 2 children-Margaret and Andrew Forrest.
John died at his home in Churchfield, McNab Township and the CAUSE of DEATH is listed as: "hemorrhage of the lungs 3 months" -- Anne Stewart Geer

8 "1751 William Anderson & Marg't Collie in this Parish were matrimonally contracted and having been thence proclaimed married June, 25th." (Kinloss OPR)

The gap between William's marriage in 1751 and the birth of his first recorded child in 1756 suggests that there are early births that are not accounted for. 
Anderson, William (I303)
 
9 "1798, Feb 18, John Stewart at Ardveich and his spouse Ann Stewart had their lawful son baptized - Robert." (Comrie OPR)

On 30 Dec 1828, at age 30, Robert Stewart married in Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, to Catherine Campbell.

In 1841, at age 40, Robert Stewart was residing at Izzat Street in Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, with his wife and children. He was employed as a maltman.

In 1851, at age 53, Robert Stewart was residing at King Street in Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, with his wife and children and 2-year-old granddaughter, Robinea Younger. He was employed as a maltman.

In 1861, at age 63, Robert Stewart was residng at 9 Drysdale Street in Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, with his wife with his wife and 17 year old granddaughter Roberta Younger. He was employed as a maltman.

"Robert Stewart, maltman, married to Catherine Campbell, died 1862, November nineteenth, Drysdale Street, Alloa, age 64 years, son of John Stewart, farmer, deceased, and Ann Stewart, maiden name Stewart, deceased.

10 "About the same time came John McInytre. He took up the land known afterwards for a great many years as “Allan McNab’s.” McIntyre had made a clearance and built a shanty. But he died very soon after from quinsy, and for a year or two the property was vacant.

Peter McIntyre, a brother, came on the same vessel to Canada, and took up the farm now known as the McLaren homestead, now occupied by Mr John B McLaren, a mile south of the town.

In the same vessel came another family of McIntyres, from Perthshire - Gregor, Duncan and John and several sisters, as well as their mother, the father having died in the old land. They were not relatives of John and Peter, but were friends and had been neighbours in the old land. They first went to Beckwith, where they had acquaintances; but did not care for that section of country, and came on, following the other McIntyres into Renfrew.

13 "Alan Dapifer" is found as a witness in 1086 to a charter relating to Mezuoit, a cell near Dol of the Abbey of Saint-Florent de Saumur. ("Dapifer" is Latin for "Seneschal.")

Alan's father is unknown. It is claimed that Alan's ancestors, being Senechals of Dol, were descended from a younger earlier branch of the Counts of Dol. This claim is plausible but not proven. The ancestry shown here is purely legendary and is presented for entertainment only.

14 "Alexander Anderson, sailor, widow of Ann Whyte died on the thirteenth, December, 1877 at 3hr. 30 min. a.m. at Cummingston, Duffus. He was 79 years old. It confirms that his parents were Alexander Anderson, general labourer (deceased) and Margaret Anderson, nee Badenoch, also deceased. The cause of death was debility from age and no medical attendant present. The informant was Elspect Findlay, niece, who was present. His death was registered on 15th. December, 1877 at Hopeman, by the registrar, George Nicoll." (Statutory Death Record c/o Keith Rees.)

Alexander is found in 1851 residing in Cummingston, Duffus, Moray, Scotland, age 53, employed as a "former sailor", with his wife Ann White, 54, and daughter Ann Anderson, 24, an agricultural labourer. 
Anderson, Alexander (I325)
 
15 "Alexander Stewart, was apprenticed to Alexander Baird, Merchant in Edinburgh, on 3 August 1698 and settled in Stirling. He married Katherine Drummond (who survived him and was his executor in 1724) and died in January 1724 having had issue" (Gordon MacGregor, Red Book of Scotland)

Alexander's wife, Katherine Drummond, is mentioned in the following reference from the MacGregor Collection: "Catherine Drummond and [her son] Robert Stewart, she was mother to R Stewart an idiot and alimented him 1721 - 1751. In that year he succeeded Buchannan to Ardvorlich. (Norison’s Decisions No.46, p412, Vol.1 ) He died unmarried in 1760 - Dundurn Tombstone."

Stewarts of the South says incorrectly that "[David's] brother Alexander married Stewart the heiress of Craigtown of the family of Annat. (sic) Craigtown is in Down [Doune] parish now Earl of Murray's Estate. By the Heiress he had one son and some daughters. The son was a lunatic, but had the income of the estate [of Craigton] during his life, his sisters claimed the estate but were rejected." Stewarts of the South has confused the spouses of this Alexander Stewart with that of his uncle, Alexander Stewart in Lurgavowie.

The "lunatic" referred to above is Alexander's son, Robert Stewart, 6th of Ardvorlich.

In 1748, Alexander Stewart, younger in Ardvorlich, was named as a cautioner in the testament dative of Donald McLaren of Easter Ardveich, chief of Clan McLaren. As Alexander's older brother, Robert Stewart, 5th of Ardvorlich, was still alive in 1748, this raises the question of why Alexander was named cautioner, and not his older brother. As Robert Stewart, 5th of Ardvorlich, died in 1751, it would appear that he was already in declining health by 1748 and that Alexander was acting in his stead as de facto head of the family.

When Robert Stewart, 5th of Ardvorlich, died in 1751, the estate passed to Alexander's son, Robert, who became 6th of Ardvorlich. This would indicate that Alexander died sometime between 1748-1751. Otherwise, if he was still alive in 1751, then he would have inherited Ardvorlich before his son. 
Stewart, Alexander in Ardvorlich (I14782)
 
16 "Alexander Stewart, was executor and creditor to his brother, James Stewart of Ardvorlich, in 1698. He married firstly, to Mary, eldest daughter of Alexander Stewart of Annat (c/m 15 December 1683) in consideration of which his father
granted them an annualrent of 2000 merks to be uplifted from the lands of Ardvorlich and Ballemeanoch." (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland)
 
Stewart, Mary of Annat (I25493)
 
17 "Alexander" is a theoretical construct who is suggested as the possible ancestor of 4 Line - The Stewarts in Inverlochlarig Mor, shown below. There is no known documentary evidence for his existence. As the Inverlochlarig Stewarts descend from the Glenogle Stewarts at a point that is probably junior to that of the Caleb Stewarts and probably senior to that of the Auchtow Stewarts then the most logical place for them to descend would be here. However, it must be considered that the reliability of the ranking of the cadet lines as presented in Stewarts of the South probably decreases with the later lines. Thus it cannot be counted on that 4 Line is necessarily junior to 3 Line and senior to 5 Line, only that the author of Stewarts of the South believed that to be so. See the notes on this line below for more information. Stewart, Alexander? (I14959)
 
18 "Alexander, lawful son of William Anderson & Margaret Collie in Asliesh, was born July 10th. & baptised 20th. Witness Alexander Watson in Muirhead and Alexander Collie in Inchdem___ , Alexander Anderson in Wester Alves of___ ." (Alves OPR)

Asliesh is shown as "Asliesk" on modern OS maps. It is located midway between Forres and Elgin, south of Duffus and Cummingston.

"1788 January 19th. Alexander Anderson in this Parish & Margaret Badenoch in Elgin were matrimonially contracted & married." (Drainie OPR). The marriage was also registered in Elgin parish.

In 1841 Alexander, age 75, was residing in Cummingston, Duffus, Moray, Scotland with his daughter Janet Anderson, 35, and granddaughter May Shaw, 5.

In 1851, Alexander, age 87, was residing in Cummingston, Duffus, Moray, Scotland with his daughter Janet Anderson, 45, and granddaughter, Marjory Shaw, 16. Alexander was employed as a "Lot Agr On The Pare Board" (meaning uncertain).

Alexander is not found in 1861 and is presumed to have died between 1851-1861 although no record of his death has so far been found. 
Anderson, Alexander (I324)
 
19 "Alexander, the second son, who had a small property in the Braes of Doune called Lurgavouie and Tombae. (11) He married a certain Mary Stewart (family unknown) and had a family of three - John, Janet and Jean. Of John nothing certain is known but his possible identity is discussed later in this Chapter. Janet married Malise Graham, second son of Walter Graham of Drunkie (12) and had two children, Alexander, who died young, and Mary who, in later years was a source of financial embarrassment to her Stewart relatives on account of her penury! She died unmarried. (13)

"Alexander took as his second wife Anna, daughter of Archibald Graham of Kilmanan, whom he married in 1708, (14) but there is no record of any family. Little is known of Alexander but the part that he played in the Jacobite intrigues of his time will be referred to later." (The Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Part 1, p. 94.)

"Alexander Stewart, was executor and creditor to his brother, James Stewart of Ardvorlich, in 1698. He married firstly, to Mary, eldest daughter of Alexander Stewart of Annat (c/m 15 December 1683) in consideration of which his father
granted them an annualrent of 2000 merks to be uplifted from the lands of Ardvorlich and Ballemeanoch,1 and surviving that wife, he m. secondly, to Anna, daughter of Archibald Graham, alias MacGregor of Kilmannan, Chief of the Clan Gregor, (c/m 11 November 1702). He died without children after 8 September 1718 and before 20 June 1720, when Henry Cunningham of Boquhan took Sasine of that annual rent and the lands it was secured upon it as the late Alexander’s assignee." (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland)

Ardvorlich and MacGregor disagree on whether or not Alexander Stewart in Lurgavowie had children. I believe MacGregor's position is based on the fact that Alexander had no heirs at the time of his death. But Ardvorlich's evidence that he did have children seems compelling. And it would seem that these lines all terminated, which would explain why Alexander had no heirs.

MacGregor and Stewarts of the South disagree on the identity of Alexander's first wife, Mary Stewart. MacGregor contests that she was the eldest daughter of Alexander Stewart of Annat. No such daughter is recorded in Annat records. Stewarts of the South says that she was the Heiress of Craigton, but says that she married

29 "Captain Matthew Fontaine deGraffenried (Jr), 1832-1908, son of General Matthew Fontaine deGraffenried 1794, was born near Woodville, Mississippi, on the fourth day of January, 1832 and passed peacefully away at his residence near Mammoth Furnace, Ken­tucky on February 5, 1908.

When quite a small boy he moved with his parents to near Franklin, Tennessee, where he was reared and educated.The following obituary was published by the press at the time of his demise

“Sometime in the (1850’s) he (Matthew Fontaine deGraffenried Jr) moved to Kentucky with his brother, Tignal Duncan deGraffenried, and his sister Mary Ann deGraffenried Pritchett and her husband.

They all engaged actively in the manufacture of pig iron, operating the Mammoth Furnace in Lyon County. They were thus engaged when the Civil War broke out. Being a staunch Southerner, Matthew Fontaine deGraffenried Jr abandoned his business and volunteered his services to the cause which he believed to be right. He was a member of the Twentieth Tennessee Regiment and held the rank of captain. He remained a Confederate soldier until the close of the war. He and his family lost heavily in consequence of the war, being extensive slave-holders, besides having a considerable amount of iron seized by the Government at the Metal Landing above Eddyville. After the close of the war he returned with his brother and sister and took charge of their large land estate, which they disposed of to the Grand Rivers Company. They took stock with that Company to their hurt.”

“He was an Episcopalian, and held prominent positions in his church while in touch with it. Being located near Bethlehem Baptist Church, he and his wife gave friendly aid to it. Their children were both members of that church.

As a father he was tender, as a husband affectionate, and as a man kind-hearted. While surrounded with plenty, he could, as the writer has cause to remember, give kindly encouragement to those who were poor and in trouble.”

Captain Matthew Fontaine deGraffenried (Jr) was twice married, first to Miss Flora Stith in 1860, who lived but a short while, leaving no child. He then married in April,1873, to Miss Henrietta Williams, who survived him."

33 "Charles Duncan (1812/3-1886), a planter who married a daughter of U. S. Senator John Black." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duncan_Stewart_(Mississippi_politician))

Charles Duncan Stewart, born about 1813, was the son of Colonel Duncan Stewart and Penelope Jones. He is descended from King Robert II. He and his brother James Alexander Stewart ran several successful plantations near Morganza, in Pointe Coupee Parish along the Mississippi River.

During the Civil War Charles Duncan Stewart, along with a group of likeminded gentlemen, was accused of burning his neighbor's cotton crop and sued for damages. He swore he did not want to see the day that slavery ended, and he got his wish. Shortly after the war he went blind.

He and his wife Julia donated the land and the bricks for Saint Stephens Episcopal Church.

His three daughters died in infancy. His son, John Black Stewart, attended the University of Virginia, graduating in 1878. He then moved to New York and married Elizabeth Luzby. They made several extensive trips to Europe. John Black Stewart returned to New York City and worked as a stock broker for Charles D. Barney & Co. (later Morgan Stanley Smith Barney). (FindAGrave)

34 "Charles worked as a civilian working on torpedoes at Pontiac Motors, while his daughter, Margaret, worked on Bofer guns. Charles and Margaret would ride to work together and that is when Charles taught Margaret how to drive a car. Charles worked his way up to become a Supervisor of Foundry at Pontiac Motors." (descendant, Rebecca Moe) Furler, Charles William (I6374)
 
35 "Charter" John Stewart had several sons, including (unsurprisingly) a son named John, who was born in Ulster in 1711 and came with his father to New Hampshire in 1718-19. This son John married Rebecca (Costa) Patten, born in Edinburgh, Scotland, widow of Robert Patten who died on the Atlantic passage and was buried at sea. John moved from Londonderry, N.H., to Windham, N.H., and was a soldier in the French and Indian War, dying in service to the Crown on 29 March 1761. I don't know John's rank -- he served under Col. John Goffe and Capt. Alexander Todd in the British invasion of New France/Canada, and it is quite possible he had the rank of Lieutenant.

Among the children of John Stewart of Windham and Rebecca (Costa) (Patten) Stewart was their eldest, a son named John, born in Windham on 22 Sept. 1743 -- for convenience, we'll call him John Stewart III. He married his cousin Rebecca Stewart, daughter of my own ancestor Charles Stewart of Colrain, Massachusetts. (Rebecca's sister Margaret is my great-great-great-great-great-grandmother.)

The fifth child of John Stewart III and Rebecca was Agnes Stewart, born in Windham, N.H., on 4 Aug. 1771. Agnes married in 1793 to Dr. Daniel Allen of Colrain, Mass. This is as far as Severance's old Stewart Genealogy traces this line. Severance (p.69) says only that Agnes and Daniel "went West. The old people say that they had a large family of children but no trace of them can now be found." (Jared Olar) 
Stewart, John (I21995)
 
36 "Christina White was the dau. of John White and Jane Elder. She was one of ten children born in Quebec after her parents immigrated here from Scotland.

37 "Died on the 26th of March at Pemberton, West River, Mrs. Ann Fitzhugh Steuart (the consort of Dr. Charles C. Steuart) after a painful illness of 9 days. She was exemplary in the duties of wife, mother, friend and neighbour. Her loss is irreparable and four small children, and her death severely felt by her numerous friends and family connexions." (Baltimore American and Commercial Advertiser, April 11, 1822.) Biscoe, Ann Fitzhugh (I22325)
 
38 "Donald Stewart, late crofter Aucha-raw near Loch-earn-head [in] Balquhidder Parish, [on] Lord Braidalbane's property, left five sons (although only four are named): James, [a] schoolmaster [at] Lochearnhead; John is a crofter near the same place [and] has six sons [who are] under age; Duncan, a crofter near Thornhill, [in] Kincardine Parish, [in] Perth county, has three sons; Peter, a carter in Glasgow, who has two sons. All this family are industrious and careful."
Donald is shown as a descendant of Gartnafuaran Branch V: Stewarts of Glenogle.
The description of Donald's family matches almost identically with the description of Donald Stewart in Edinample whom we have accounted for elsewhere. The two Donalds should not be confused with each other. We have been unsuccessful in identifying this Donald's children's births in the OPRs. 
Stewart, Donald (I15899)
 
39 "Dr. George Calver Steuart practiced medicine near Washington, DC, and in adjoining Virginia. State of Virginia has no record of his death. Family says he was raised by his uncle and educated by him, Dr. C. C. Steuart of Pemberton, West River. No record of him has been found in Maryland or Baltimore area. His wife, Annie, is supposed to have moved out to California along with her daughter and grandson. None of this is proven." (Nelker)

40 "Duncan Graham, who was younger brother to Alexander Graham of Duchray. Duncan got Corries from that brother in 1733. They were in descent from the Graham Earls of Menteith.” (Gordon MacGregor, author of The Red Book of Scotland, personal correspondence.) Graham, Duncan in Corries (I21437)
 
41 "Duncan Stewart had a dua. Katherine m. James Stewart of Tarr as his 1st wife and had 12 children." (Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Part 3, p. 2)

Katherine is mentioned in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for Brig o' Turk cemetery in Callander parish in reference to her husband as follows:

"12 (at top - a pelican plucking its breast, on her nest) (in Latin) Katharine STEWART, 24 DEC 1735, husband James STEWART esquire of Tar (Mitchell notes: Duncan STEWART in Achray, feuer of Tar in Ruskie in 1754, son James succeeded him in 1784 and died before 1811 - son John, daughters Janet, Anne, etc, two wives)."

The date of 24 DEC 1735 shown with her name is presumed to be a referrence to her date of birth, albeit incorrect, however the reference is ambiguous. Katharine is presumed to have died in conjunction with, or shortly after the birth of her last child as her husband James remarried abt four years later. 
Stewart, Katharine (I17394)
 
42 "Duncan Stewart, is said to have been an innkeeper at Tighnaluib, in Glen Dochart, and to have married Margaret, daughter of Alexander Stewart, 6th of Invernahyle. He is also said to have had issue by her, however, his uncle, Neil Stewart of Auchmor, becoming heir to Duncan’s elder brother, James Stewart of Incherich, it follows that any issue of Duncan’s body cannot have been lawful otherwise they would have had prior right of succession." (Gordon MacGregor, Red Book of Scotland) Stewart, Margaret in Invernahyle (I24904)
 
43 "Duncan Stewart, probably a brother of the above William, died in Ledcreich Dec. --, 1664, his will being filed Jan. 25, 1665, at Dunblane by his widow, Janet Stewart.

44 "Elen Stewart was a substitute heir to her brother Walter the lands of Innercreichan and Croftinderry in 1498." (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) Stewart, Elen (I22915)
 
45 "Firm evidence of the early Stewart interest in the Glenbuckie estate dates from an instrument of resignation of 15 October 1552, drawn up at Perth by Patrick Stewart of Glenbuckie and his wife Margaret Lekky, in favour of their son Robert Stewart and his spouse Katherine Kennedy." -- Settlements of Western Perthshire, by James Stewart, page 132.

"[Robert Stewart] had a resignation for the lands of Dalinlagan, Ledcreich, Stronslanie, Craigintulzie, Leanach and Garrichrew from his father on 15 October 1552. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland)

Although the resignation above indicates Robert was due to inherit Glenbuckie, Robert did not live long enough to actually inherit. He died sometime before his father died and without any heirs of his own. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) 
Stewart, Robert Fiar in Glenbuckie (I18183)

49 "Hon. WILLIAM DOWNIE STEWART was born at Blair Drummond Scotland, in 1842. He came to this Colony in 1862. He became a pupil of the present Chief Justice, Sir James Prendergast, in 1864, and was admitted to the New Zealand Bar in June, 1867. Whilst he devoted himself specially to his profession, he has always taken an active interest in public questions. In 1875 he visited America, and made a study of the laws in force in that country, and on his return to the Colony advocated in a lecture which he delivered to the Otago Law Students' Society, a large number of reforms, such as simplifying and codifying the procedure of the Supreme Court, the fixing of a scale of costs, that a prisoner should be allowed to give evidence on his own behalf, that confessions or admissions made to a clergyman or priest and communications between a patient and his medical adviser should be privileged, the relaxation of the rule affecting the incompetency of witnesses through want of religious belief, reform of the law relating to workmen on the basis of the mechanic lien laws, a radical alteration in the laws relating to married women, whereby as regards property they would have the status of femme sole. Most of these suggestions are now law. He was elected in 1879 as one of the members of the House for Dunedin. He was offered but declined the office of Attorney-General in Sir George Grey's Cabinet. After the dissolution of Parliament, consequently on the defeat of the Grey Ministry in 1879 he was again returned as one of the three members for Dunedin City. In 1881 he contested Dunedin West against the Hon. Thomas Dick and myself; owing to an accident. I resigned in favour of the Hon. William Downie Stewart, feeling a anable to do justice to my constituents, but Mr. Stewart was defeated by a small majority. In 1883 he again visited America and also Canada. In 1884 he contested the Dunedin West seat with Mr. Dick, and was returned at the head of the poll. Mr. Stewart has Dick, and was returned. In 1887 he again contested Dunedin West with taken a prominent position in the House as a law reformer, and also in all constitutional questions. He has been especially useful Committee work. In 1879 and 1880 he fought hard against the legislation specially directed against the Maori political prisoners. He has been an advocate of Protectionist opinions, strongly supports the reading of the Bible in the public schools, and takes a lively interest in all political questions and social reforms. He was appointed to the Legislative Council in 1891, and is still a member of that body." (Past and Present, and Men of the Times, by William Jackson Barry.
