| 102 | "William Brown was the oldest son of John Brown and Martha Thistle. He was born in Portadown, Armagh, Ireland and immigrated with his parents to Canada. He died in Elgin in 1890 at the age of 78 years. d. 26 May 1890 (aged 77-78) in Elgin, Monteregie Region, Quebec, Canada." -- FindAGrave In 1851 William was residing in Elgin, Beauharnois, Quebec, Canada, working as a labourer, and belonging to the Presbyterian church. In 1861 William was residing in Elgin, Huntingdon East, Quebec, Canada. In 1881 William was residing in Elgin, Huntingdon, Quebec with 63 year old Agnes Brown (b1818). They are not married. Her relationship is unknown. She could be an unrecorded spinster sister. He is recorded as being of unsound mind. | Brown, William (I21851)

| 103 | "William Caraway was born in 1754, in what was then Cumberland County, but is now Harnett County, North Carolina, the son of John Carraway, Sr. and his first wife, Margaret Stewart. He grew up on his father's plantation and learned the art of farming. "With the advent of the Revolutionary War, William responded to the call of Patriotism and enlisted in service to the young Nation as a private. Although he was a native resident of the state of North Carolina, he traveled to Cambridge South Carolina in March or April of 1778, and enlisted under Captain John Moore of the Third Company of Col. Huger's Regiment of the South Carolina Line. He rose through the ranks to become Orderly First Sergt. During his tour of duty, William served under Captain John Caraway Smith, a cousin, during the Siege of Savannah and was also in the Battle of Stono, South Carolina. During his service he was wounded by a hand pike, which caused him pain for the remainder of his life. Sergt. Caraway was honorably discharged from service at Whitehall, South Carolina on June 11, 1780. It is interesting to note that he was not paid for his service until May 5, 1785, on which date he received the sum of 33 pounds, five shillings and three pence, and halfpenny, sterling. "After being discharged from service, William returned to his native Cumberland County and resumed work on the family plantation. He began to acquire land of his own. On April 16, 1782, he purchased a tract of land from his father. "In a sworn affidavit, William's son John Caraway stated that William married Elizabeth Avera sometime prior to June 11, 1780, the date of William's discharge from the Continental Army. Elizabeth was the daughter of Alexander Avera and Sarah Caraway, neighbors of the Caraway's. However, if this is so, there is no indication that children were born to this marriage for several years. Their first born were twins, Robert and Charity, born July 5, 1785. A son, John, was born in 1787 and another daughter, Mildred, in about 1790. On September 11, 1794, son Alexander was born. Sometime after the birth of Alexander, William's father, John Carraway, died and his plantation was divided among his heirs. "For some reason William decided to leave Cumberland County and began to dispose of his property. On August 24, 1795, he sold the tract of land he had bought from his father in 1782 to his brother-in-law William Avera. A year later on August 23, 1796, he sold to his brother James, 150 acres of land on Black River, which he had inherited from his father. In the deed for this property, William was shown to be a resident of Cumberland County, yet tax records for Stokes County for 1796 show that William was a resident of that county before the end of the year. Apparently, William moved from Cumberland County to Stokes County sometime between August 23 and December 31, 1796. The final disposition of his Cumberland County property came when he sold 200 acres on Stewart's Creek to his brother Thomas on November 25, 1800. On October 4, 1796, another son, William, Jr. was born, probably after their move to Stokes County, and son Thomas, two years later in 1798. William's family was completed by the addition of Benjamin in 1800, Jame in 1802, and Charles in 1804. Possibly lured by the promise of free land to be offered in the 1805 Georgia Land Lottery, William moved his family to Lincoln County, Georgia, in 1804. "Although he was not successful in the initial effort (he drew two blanks), William's family was lucky in later land lotteries in Georgia. In the 1820 drawing, William Jr. obtained a lot in Habersham County, John a lot in Irwin County and Robert and Charity each drew for land in Early County. In 1821 Alexander was a lucky drawer for a lot in Houston County. In later lotteries, son James was a lucky drawer for land in Floyd County and Benjamin drew for lot number 260, dt. 8, sec. 5 in Upson County. "In 1825 William and family, including his widowed daughter, Charity Bethel and her family, moved from Lincoln County to Upson County, Georgia. It is family tradition that three of his sons built the first three houses erected in the city of Thomaston. If the tradition is true, John and Robert were certainly two of those, along with William. They and sister Charity were there in 1830 but William, Jr. was in Muscogee County and Thomas was in Randolph County. Alexander had moved to Mississippi sometime between 1826 and 1829. It is not known whether he went there directly from Lincoln County or by way of Upson County. Benjamin was administrator of Thomas Caraway's estate in Randolph County in 1833 and probably lived there with him in 1830 as a yet unmarried man. Apparently, James never married and there are few records to prove he existed. Charles was retarded and apparently lived with his father all of his life. "In May of 1833 William was granted a pension by the United States government for his service in the Revolutionary War. Less than a year later he died on February 1, 1834, and was buried in Glenwood Cemetery in Thomaston. His wife, Elizabeth, died January 1, 1838, probably in the home of one of her sons, either Benjamin or Robert Caraway, in Randolph County, Georgia; the location of her burial is unknown."

Also residing in the same house are 15 year old Jean Robertson, presumably the same Jane Robertson that Robert later married, and her brothers Alexander Robertson (a journeyman blackmsith) and John Robertston. Robert later named one of his sons, David Mitchell Stewart. This same David Mitchell is believed to be the Mitchell who married Robert Stewart's cousin, Marjory Stewart and moved to Ireland between 1841-1851. | Stewart, Robert (I18044)

|
| 115 | (Father shown as Peter Stewart.) Daniel is described in Stewarts of the South as being a wright in Lochearnhead with his father. Donald and Catharine were fined 10p at the time of their wedding, which suggests an accusation of fornication. Given the date of the birth of their first daughter, Mary, and the fact that Mary was not baptized, this seems likely. There is another couple also named Donald Stewart and Catherine McDiarmid who were also married in 1819 but in the adjoining parish of Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. | Stewart, Donald (I15673)

The 1814 Moss Census shows Duncan residing at #16 Wood Lane. His former residence is given as Balquhidder. The following burial entries from Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for Kincardine Cemetery pertain to Duncan's family: 69 (next to 68) Duncan STEWART, road surveyor (in) Wood Lane, died 12 JAN 1839, age 62, wife Christian MCLAREN, 12 SEP 1816, age 47. 70a late Duncan STEWART, road surveyor in Wood Lane and wife Mary MCGREGOR, daughters Catharine, 23 JAN 1840, age 20, and Christian 17 MAR 1833 (or 1835), age 6 years. 70b (similar to 70a) by Duncan STEWART in Woodlane, wife Christian MCLAREN 12 SEP 1816, age 48. | Stewart, Duncan in Derry and Woodline (I16039)

Many of Robert's nephews later moved to the greater Glasgow area to become mechanical wrights. It appears that Robert was the first of the family to do so. It is not known if his nephews followed him there and worked with him or if it is merely coincidental. The marriage and children shown here for Robert are NOT CONFIRMED. This is the only Robert Stewart in the IGI with an eldest son named Peter. This family fits with the description in Stewarts of the South. | Stewart, Robert in Glasgow (I18042)

|
| 138 | (The following narrative history is based on information provided by the late Nora Smith and Edie Morra (nee Stewart).) Margaret Drummond was born in Upper Strathearn in 1811. A perfect match has been found for her birth family but she is unnamed in the birth record, thus it has eluded discovery. (Thanks to John Andrew Hutchison for discovering it.) 18/10/1795 WILLIAM DRUMMOND/MARGARET MACEWAN, WILLIAM 08/10/1797 WILLIAM DRUMMOND/MARGARET MCEWEN, JOHN 23/06/1799 WILLIAM DRUMMOND/MARGARET MCEWEN, DONALD 07/06/1801 WILLIAM DRUMMOND/MARGARET MCEWEN, DUNCAN 20/03/1803 WILLIAM DRUMMOND/MARGT. MCEWEN, ALEXANDER 06/01/1805 WILLIAM DRUMMOND/MARGT. MCEWEN, JAMES 21/09/1806 WILLIAM DRUMMOND/MARGARET MCEWEN, CHRISTIAN 17/06/1810 WILLIAM DRUMMOND/ MCEWEN, daughter at Balmuick 19/12/1813 WILLIAM DRUMMOND/MARGT. MCEWEN, DONALD (Several online trees show Margaret as the daughter of Gregor McGregor and Ann Drummond. This cannot be correct as this family is found in 1841 and 1851 living in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland with their daughter Margaret. It appears these trees are based solely on finding a chronological match for a Margaret McGregor born ca. 1811 in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland. ) On 14 Mar 1832, Margaret Drummond married in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland to Duncan Stewart. Her name on the marriage record is recorded as "Mary" but this could easily be a transcription error for "Marg." Margaret's granddaughter recalled that Margaret was proud that she was actually a MacGregor whose Drummond surname was only an alias. During the lifetime of Margaret's husband's ancestor's life (Alexander Stewart, 1st of Ardvorlich) the Clan Gregor were outlawed and the MacGregor surname was banished in Scotland. MacGregors were forced to take on other surnames or face execution. Margaret's ancestors chose the alias of Drummond, but, like many other MacGregors, they held on to the memory that their real surname was MacGregor. Margaret shared memories of her life growing up in Upper Strathearn with her grandchildren. She recalled growing up in the beautiful surroundings of Sir Walter Scott's book, "The Lady of the Lake", including Loch Earn, Loch Katrine and Ben Vorlich. She recalled tragically that when she was a child playing on a hillside with her brother, James, a storm was coming. James took of his plaid, wrapped Margaret in it and sent her home. James took shelter under a tree which was struck by lightning, killing him. She also recalled going to town to purchase her first set of china dishes and having to remove her shoes and stockings to ford a stream while carrying the dishes home in the folds of her dress. Margaret married in 1832 to Duncan Stewart. They lived on Duncan's family farm in Upper Strathearn. (This reference is unclear. The family farm had been at Morell in Glentarken, but the family were evicted from Glentarken and moved to the nearby village of St. Fillans. The exact year of eviction is uncertain, but probably ca. 1812-1815. Whether the Stewarts had a farm in St. Fillans or lived otherwise is unknown.) Duncan and Margaret became increasingly disenchanted with the declining conditions of life in their home strath and increasingly enamoured with the promises of a better life in the New World. Shortly after the birth of their first daughter Catharine, Duncan and Margaret made a decision to move to the New World. The story of their life together in Canada is told in more detail in the notes of Margaret's husband. One funny story -- Margaret recalled being quite good at baking apple pies. When she came to Canada she heard all about these excellent pumpkin pies. She tried to bake a pumpkin pie following her apple pie recipe, using chunks of raw pumpkin in the pie. The pie was not eaten. Margaret's daughter Catharine's death registration specifies that her mother was born in Comrie (the town, not the parish). In 1871, Duncan and Margaret were residing in Bayham Township, Elgin County, Ontario, Canada with three of their adult children: Margaret C, William, and John. Also residing with them was 13 year old, Ontario-born, Annie Drummond (b 1858). She may be a clue to Margaret's birth family. | Drummond-alias-McGregor, Margaret (I9163)
|
| 139 | (The OPR shows his mother's name as Janet Stewart instead of Christian Stewart, but this is an error.) Robert is described in Stewarts of the South as being "lately in Invercarnaig" and thus he died bef. 1815. He is recorded as having one (surviving) son, James, a cow feeder in Glasgow. Onomastics would dictate that Robert would have had an earlier son named Robert. No OPR match has presently been found. | Stewart, Robert (I18168)

| 140 | ** I AM NO LONGER CONFIDENT IN THE ACCOUNTING OF THIS FAMILY AS IT CONNECTS TO STEWARTS OF THE SOUTH ** Duncan is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Duncan Stewart, his [Alexander's] brother, [is a] shepherd in Leadchrich [in the] Braes of Balquhidder. [He has] two sons [who are] minors." An excellent match for this Duncan has been found in Duncan Stewart, a shepherd in Ledcreich who married Agnes McGregor and had four children, including two sons who would be of minor age at the time that Stewarts of the South was written. No other shepherd in Ledcreich named Duncan Stewart has been found to conflict with this matching. (This family was submitted by Andrew McDonald.) Duncan Stewart married on 16 JAN 1813 in Balquhidder (both in this parish) to Agnes McGregor. They had the following children: 1. Mary STEWART, bap. 16 JUN 1813 in Culearn of Gartnafuaran. 2. Walter STEWART, bap. 30 APR 1815 in Clachglass of Glenbuckie. (Census and OPR data indicates he married and had children in Aberfoyle parish.) 3. ______ Stewart, bap 9 MAY 1819 in Ledcrich (Matches with the family records of Catherine Stewart, 1818-1910, who married John Buchanan) 4.

| 141 | ***THE INFORMATION ON THIS DUNCAN STEWART HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED IN TEN YEARS AND IS BELIEVED TO BE INCORRECT. HE IS SCHEDULED FOR A FUTURE UPDATE. HOWEVER, AS HE IS NOT A DESCENDANT OF THE STEWARTS OF BALQUHIDDER, UPDATING AND CORRECTING HIS INFORMATION IS A LOW PRIORITY*** This family is being researched by Inez Reed and is being discussed here: http://www.hostmybb.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=175&sid=edb67c8c0e5b9bba1750229bb5abf3dd&mforum=stewart Duncan Stewart is the earliest member of this Stewart family on record as having emigrated from Scotland to the New World. According to family tradition, Duncan was born about 1623 in the parish of Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland. He was a soldier who was captured in the Cromwellian War and was shipped to Massachusetts, USA, as an indentured servant. Duncan Stewart was transported to Ipswich, Massachusetts sometime before 1649. He was enslaved as an indentured servant to George Hadley in whose service he worked as a shipwright. Duncan married about APR 1654 to Ann Winchurst who was an indentured servant of John Cogswell. Duncan and Ann were whipped for fornication by order of the church sometime prior to their marriage. Duncan's death record (cited below) indicates that he was "about 100 years old" at his time of death in 1717. This would suggest a birth date as early as 1617 The records of deaths of First Church, Rowley had (Duncan's son) John Stewart, aged 90 years and 8 or 9 months, which would give him a birth date of February or March 1666, and make his birth in Newbury, three years earlier than Henry's. This verbatim record is also from the same source: "1717. Dunkin Stewart, about (it's thot) an 100 years old, Aug 30"; and "1729. Old Widow Stewart, relict of Duncan, July 9." Another family tradition cites that Duncan was 94 when he died which would suggest a birth date of 1623. However we have been unable to ascertain the source of this tradition. It would appear from the names of Duncan's children and grandchildren that his family did not maintain traditional naming customs in the USA. They seem to have favoured biblical names suggesting they may have lived in a Puritanical community. The fact that Duncan married an English woman may also have influenced his break from traditional onomastics. | Stewart, Duncan in Kilmadock (I16027)
