| 1001 | According to Lavarre's web site, this James married Jannet MCARTHUR/MCKARTHUR although no record of their marriage has been found. | McNaughtan, James (I10179)
|
| 1002 | According to Leo Lavarre's notes, Donald was a "market gardener" in Pitlochry, Logierait, Perthshire, Scotland who sold his produce through his brother, William, in Glasgow. | McNaughtan, Donald (I10808)
|
| 1003 | According to Llewella McIntyre's research, Jean Stewart married a McGowan. His name is not known. His wife Jean is found, widowed, in 1861 and 1871 residing with her son Peter in Puslinch at the residence of her brother Peter Stewart. They have not been found in 1851. The 1861 census shows their surname as McCowan. The 1906 Wellington County Atlas shows a Donald McCowan from Ireland who settled in Puslinch in the 1830s, but the list of his known children does not include a Peter. McCowan is also a known surname from the Comrie/Monzievaird area. | McGowan or McCowan, _____ (I9922)
|
| 1004 | According to Lord Strathcona - A Biography of Donald Alexander Smith, by Donna McDonald, 1996, Dundurn Press, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, "Peter Stuart, Town-Major of Belfast" was a brother of John Stuart the NWC explorer and was an uncle to Lord Strathcona. According to Hart's Army List, Peter was a Lieutenant and was appointed as Town-Major of Belfast on 24 DEC 1818. Hart's List also indicates that Peter was "late 1 R. Vet. Bn." (reference uncertain). Peter's wife is unknown. Peter is known to have been still alive in 1819 when he was in London and received a visit from his nephew, Donald Alexander Smith, the future Lord Strathcona. | Stuart, Lieutenant Peter (I18099)
|
| 1005 | According to Lord Strathcona - A Biography of Donald Alexander Smith, by Donna McDonald, 1996, Dundurn Press, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Janet Grant was the daughter of Robert Grant of Cromdale. Her birth as shown here is not confirmed but represents the only IGI birth for a Janet Grant, daughter of Robert Grant in the parish of Cromdale in that time period. | Grant, Janet (I7083)
|
| 1006 | According to MacGregor James "appears to have dsp." However, if he did have children (perhaps natural) then he could be the progenitor of the Grantully Stewarts in Crieff. | Stewart, James (I16185)
|
| 1007 | According to MacGregor, " Jean Stewart Home, d. at Argaty House, on 15 October 1806." However, her existence is hard to reconcile chronologically with her sister. Her parents was married in 1785 and her sister was born in Aug 1787 just a few weeks before her father's death. Thus she must have been born before her sister. Yet her sister, Sophia, was named as the Heiress of Argaty, which would seem to indicate that Sophia must be the oldest. The only way to fit Jean's birth in chronologically would be if they were twins. | Home-Stewart, Jean (I21505)
|
| 1008 | According to MacGregor, Alexander received a charter on 30 MAR 1414 for the lands of Grantully and Aberfeldy. | Stewart, Alexander 1st of Grandtully (I14642)
|
| 1009 | According to MacGregor, John was alive in 1707. | Stewart, John (I16465)
|
| 1010 | According to MacGregor, she married James Buchanan 2nd of Auchleshie. As no birth record has been found for her, she is likely the same child who was baptised in 1674 whose name is not recorded in the OPR. MacGregor reports that Elizabeth had children with James Buchanan, but they are not recorded in his entry on the Ballachallan Stewarts. | Stewart, Elizabeth in Ballachallan (I15429)
|
| 1011 | According to Malcolm Gray's notes, this William was actually Wilhelmina, a daughter. IGI shows "William". | McNaughton, William McKinlay (I10853)
|
| 1012 | According to Malcolm Sissons, William never married and had no children. | Stewart, William Samuel George (I18141)
|
| 1013 | According to Mary's parents' family Bible, Mary's birthday was 27 Mar 1858. According to the 1901 census her birthday is 22 Mar 1855. 1871 census gives her age as 13, at which time she is residing with her uncle Charles Doughnee. The family Bible date is preferred. It is presumed that Mary never married. In 1901, at age 45, she can be found living with her parents and bachelor brother, Joseph. In 1911 she is living with her widowed mother and bachelor brother, Joseph, and gives her birth year as Mar 1861. | Furler, Mary Agnes (I6761)
|
| 1014 | According to McDonald's book on Lord Strathcona, Ellen received an annuity from her cousin, Donald Alexander Smith, Lord Strathcona. Ellen's marriage and children's information comes from a published family tree for the family of D'Arcy of Hyde Park. | Stuart, Ellen (I18166)
|
| 1015 | According to Milnes, Robert was also a partner in the North West Company, but "drowned early on in the Columbia River trying to rescue his friends as he was the only one who could swim." | Stuart, Robert (I18084)
|
| 1016 | According to Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions, John was the last of the McKinlays of the Annie. His sons all emigrated or died. His daughter Catherine remained at the Annie and married Robert McLaren. John's widow, four sons and two daughters all immigrated to North American. | McKinlay, John (I9960)
|
| 1017 | According to Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions, Robert McNab of Dundurn was Capt in the 42nd Regiment of Foot (The Black Watch) and died at age 45, but no dates are given. However, as his last child was born in 1784 then his earliest possible birth would be 1739 which would have made him about 29 at the birth of his first child which is chronologically consistent. Other (unsourced) on-line trees record Robert as being a Major in the 42nd Regiment and also a medical doctor. Robert was Royal Forester in Glen Artney. Robert was the cousin-german (first cousin) of John MacNab of MacNab. According to http://www.wargs.com/royal/camilla.html, citing Burkes LG19 I:951, Robert's wife was "Mary Stuart", however this is contradicted by Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions and the Comrie OPR which both show Robert's wife as Jean Stewart of Ardvorlich. However, since Robert's eldest son, Allan, was born three years prior to Robert's marriage to Jean Stewart of Ardvorlich, it's possible that Jean was not the mother of Allan. However, the fact that Allan's son, Sir Allan Napier MacNab, visited Ardvorlich in person in 1842, suggests that he viewed her as his grandmother. According to http://www.wargs.com/royal/camilla.html citing Burke's LG19 I:951, Capt. Robert MacNab, of Dundurn, Forester of Glenartney, was the son of Robert MacNab, in turn a younger son of Robert MacNab, 14th of that Ilk. Marion MacRae's MacNab of Dundurn (1971), says "John, fifteenth Chief of MacNab, supported the House of Hanover, but an old Clan history states that many MacNabs fought for Prince Charles Edward under the leadership of cadet cheiftains, one of whom was Allan MacNab of Dundurn. The same history records that at this time, one of the MacNab ladies of Kinnell, that is of the chielfly family -- married MacNab of Dundurn." MacRae later states that this Allan MacNab was the father of Capt. Robert MacNab of Dundurn, who "was writing letters to Colonel Archibald MacNab, brother of John, fifteenth Chief, whom he addressed as his uncle, and informing him that he had sent money to "the boy" in Canada. | MacNab, Capt. Robert 2nd of Dundurn and Forester of Glen Artney (I9116)
|
| 1018 | According to Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions, there is a stone in Kilmadock cemetery situated amidst the other Stewarts of Annat stones, being the oldest one, which reads, "1614. JS MH// HS." It seems likely this refers to this John dying in 1614 and that his wife's initials were MH. The HS is on a second line and may indicate a child's name. There are not a lot of families whose surnames begin with 'H' in the Kilmadock/Callander area. The most prominent ones were Haldane, Hume/Home, and Henderson/Hendrickson. | H, M (I21057)
|
| 1019 | According to Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions: "Four sons of Finlay McKinlay settled at Annie of whom a grandson John McKinlay in Annie, born ca. 1645 had three sons... (see notes on John for more.)" Finlay's sons are not named but onomastics would suggest that the father of John was probably Donald. | McKinlay, Donald? of the Anie (I9998)
|
| 1020 | According to Mrs Stewart of Milton (great-grand-daughter to this Mary Stewart) Mary was a "sister of the Stewarts of Cashlie" in Glen Lyon, Fortingall, Perthshire, Scotland and an aunt to the Stewarts of Luskintyre, Harris, Inverness, Scotland. They were a cadet branch of the Stewarts of Garth. | Stewart, Margaret (I16923)
|
| 1021 | According to Mrs Stewart of Milton, Angus was a banker in Callander. | McDonald, Angus (I9873)
|
| 1022 | According to Mrs Stewart of Milton, Angus was in the army and was supposed to inherit Monachyle after the death of his brother Donald, but Angus also died before he could inherit. | McDonald, Angus (I9872)
|
| 1023 | According to Mrs Stewart of Milton, Christian McDonald is burried in Dean Cemetery, Edinburgh. Christian's daughter, Catharine Stewart, is recorded in The Ardvorlich History as "(McDonald of) Monachyle's niece". The IGI confirms Catharine's father's name was Alexander Stewart. It is most likely that the Alexander in question would be from Christian's home area and that they were married before moving to Edinburgh as it is highly unlikely that Christian would move from Balquhidder to Edinburgh as a single woman. Thus we can have some confidence in searching for Alexander in Stewarts of the South. Two matches can be found for Alexander Stewarts residing in Edinburgh -- both were spirit dealers, both with two sons listed in Stewarts of the South and both born within two years of each other. The Alexander shown here is preferred as the entry specifies that he lived "at the foot of the Cannongate" which is where the two daughters were baptized. This entry also matches maternal onomastics. Dean Cemetery opened in 1846 so Christian must have died later than 1846. | McDonald, Christian (I9853)
|
| 1024 | According to Mrs Stewart of Milton, Christy died in childhood. If that is not correct, then she is a perfect chronologica, geographic, and onomastic match for Christina Stewart b 1805 who married Peter McKinlay. | McDonald, Christy (I9855)
|
| 1025 | According to Mrs Stewart of Milton, Elizabeth never married and died in Glenfinglas. Inventory of the Estate of Elizabeth Stewart, Sometime Residing at Glenfinglass, Parish of Callander, d. on or about 1 Mar 1852 in Callander.Inventory made and reported by her brother, John Stewart, tenant of Cullintogle, near Callander. L 241-9-6. Registered at Dunblane, 20 Jul 1852, in the Commissary Court Books of the Western District of Perthshire, pages 310-312. | Stewart, Elizabeth (I15430)
|
| 1026 | According to Mrs Stewart of Milton, John resided in Blarcrioch in Balquhidder parish however his children were all born in Callander and Port of Menteith. It's not known if Mrs Stewart of Milton is in error or if perhaps John resided in Blarcrioch after his children were all born or before. | McDonald, John in Blarcrioch (I9579)
|
| 1027 | According to Mrs Stewart of Milton, John was "of Craigrui" and died unmarried. After the death of John's older brother, Donald McDonald of Monachyle, John inherited Monachyle. On John's death, Monachyle and Craigruie passed to his nephew and namesake, John McDonald Stewart, son of his sister Agnes and her husband, Duncan Stewart, on the condition that John McDonald Stewart changed his surname to McDonald, in order to keep Monachyle in the McDonald name. John McDonald Stewart changed his name to John McDonald Stewart McDonald. | McDonald, John of Monachyle and Craigruie (I9580)
|
| 1028 | According to Mrs Stewart of Milton, Margaret Stewart was born June 1768 and was a sister of the Stewarts of Cashlie. | Stewart, Margaret of Cashlies (I16924)
|
| 1029 | According to Mrs. Stewart of Milton's Account: "James who married Cath. Stewart from Edinburgh - he was in the Braes of Balquhidder." According to The Ardvorlich History, James and Catherine Stewart had no children. According to the Glasingall trial documents, James Stewart resided in Auchnahard and was a claimaint for the Glasingall estate. He later resided in Inverlochlarig "in the Braes." | Stewart, James in Auchnahard and Inverlochlarig (I15980)
|
| 1030 | According to Mrs. Stewart of Milton's Account: "John who was in the Braes [of Balquhidder] afterwards. John died unmarried in 1872. He at one time managed farms in Glenlyon for his uncles. They had Cashlie & Auch. John then came to Lanrick and afterwards went to the Braes [of Balquhidder]." The Glasingall trial records indicate he was a farmer in Glenlyon. John Stewart has not been confidently identified in 1841. In 1851, at age 39, John Stewart was residing at Inermeran, Glen Lyon, Fortingall, Perthshire, Scotland. He was employed as a farmer. In 1861, at age 50, John Stewart was residing at Lendrick, Callander Road, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. He was employed as a farmer of 200 acres, employing 9 men, 1 boy, 1 woman. In 1871, at age 61, John Stewart was residing in Inverlochlarig with his brother, Alexander. He was employed as a farmer of 12000 acres of which 12 was arable. This farm was also the residence of his sister and brother-in-law, Margaret Stewart and Alexander McNaughton. John Stewart died on 17 Dec 1872 at Inverlochlarig, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland. | Stewart, John in Glenlyon and Inverlochlarig (I16509)
|
| 1031 | According to Mrs. Stewart of Milton, James Stewart in Invercarnaig had a large family but only one of his sons (Alastair Mhor) survived to adulthood. Thus, it is presumed that David Stewart died in childhood. | Stewart, David (I28938)
|
| 1032 | According to One World Tree and Malcolm Gray, this Malcolm later immigrated to Elgin and Middlesex Counties in Ontario, Canada and then to Quebec, Canada or ended up in Chatham, Kent, Ontario, Canada. However these sources are hopelessly contradictory and it would appear they have confused two different Malcolm's together. Thus, information on Malcolm's wife or wives and children, other than his son Duncan, is considered questionable at this point. | McNaughton, Malcolm (I10576)
|
| 1033 | According to One World Tree, John and Elizabeth had a son named John B Arnold. No birth record has been found for him and he has not been found in any census record. His existence is not confirmed. | Arnold, John B (I678)
|
| 1034 | According to Patrick Stewart's family history, recorded by his son Charles, "Elizabeth his wife, daughter to Doctor Duncan Menzies and his wife Margaret, daughter to Robert Menzies, cousin-german to Sir Robert Menzies, of Weem, and grandfather to the present Sir Robert and William Stewart, brother-german to the said Patrick." | Menzies, Elizabeth (I10992)
|
| 1035 | According to Plumb's History of Luzerne, Jane Brown, daughter of Alexander Brown and Mary Tyler, married Jesse Lee. Plumb gives no further information on the couple. A Lee Family Tree at Ancestry gives more detailed information showing Jesse Lee's birth as shown here as well as the names of their five children. No dates are given for any of the children. The dates shown here are merely estimates based on later census records. The Lee Tree shows Jesse Lee having died 17 AUG 1839 in Eatonville, Wyoming County, Pennsylvania, US, which is consistent with the Browns living in the same area. Census records show the family residing consistently in Eaton Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, USA from 1810-1840. Widow Jane Lee is found in 1840 residing in Eaton, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, with a family consisting of one male 10-14yrs, 2 males 20-29, 1 female 50-59. She is found residing next door to Philip Lee and a few doors away from her brother James Brown. None of the Lee children have been successfully identified in the 1850 census. | Brown, Jane (I19856)
|
| 1036 | According to Plumb's History of Luzerne, Sarah Brown, daughter of Alexander Brown and Mary Tyler, married Gideon Underwood. Underwood sources give Sarah's place of birth as Mercer (or Mercer Township), Pennsylvania, however Mercer is clear across the other side of the state, about 400 miles west of Luzerne and seems unlikely. Sarah can be found in census records from 1810-1850 consistently residing in Forty Fort, Kingston Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, USA with her husband and children as shown here. | Brown, Sarah (I19885)
|
| 1037 | According to Records of the Clan and Name of Fergusson, Ferguson, and Fergus. (Edited for The Clan Fergus(s)on Society by James Ferguson and Robert Menzies Fergusson by David Douglas, 10 Castle Street, Edinburgh, 1899.) II. Alexander, son of Duncan F., married Helen Stewart, Glenbuckie. He removed from Tornnadrochig to Stronvar, and died in 1886, aged 82. I. Janet, married Duncan M'Alpine, Balquhidder. 2. Margaret, married Mr. M'Gregor, Westleys, near Bridge of Allan, whom she survives. 3. Duncan, in Stank Farm, Callander. 4. Catherine. 5. Mary. 6. Helen, married Donald M'Laren, Ardtalnaig, Lochtayside. 7. John, died young. 8. Christina, married Peter Colquhoun, schoolmaster, Balquhidder, whom she survives. 9. Peter, still in Stronvar. Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions shows a family of Fergusons in Stronvar back to 1700 commencing with a John Ferguson. | Ferguson, Alexander in Tomnnadrochig and Stronvar (I5731)
|
| 1038 | According to Records of the Clan and Name of Fergusson, Ferguson, and Fergus. (Edited for The Clan Fergus(s)on Society by James Ferguson and Robert Menzies Fergusson by David Douglas, 10 Castle Street, Edinburgh, 1899.) Helen Ferguson and her siblings were born at Kipp in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, but later resided at Glenbeich on the northwest shore of Lochearn. According to Cameron family records, Catherine Stewart, daughter of Donald Stewart and Isobel McGregor, married Duncan Cameron, and were the parents of John Cameron who married Helen Ferguson of Kipp, Balquhidder, and had nine children born at Glenbeich, Balquhidder. Documentary evidence is lacking to support the Cameron/Stewart connection, however the claim seems probably true. The Stewarts were from Dalveich, next door to Glenbeich, and multiple autosomal DNA connections exist between descendants of the Camerons and this Dalveich line. The Camerons immigrated to Canada in 1831. Research has eliminated the possibility of a marital connection between these families post-immigration, thus the connection must earlier than John Cameron and Helen Ferguson. Thus the connection suggested here, though not proven, becomes more than plausible, in fact probable. After the death of her husband, Helen (Eleanor), lived with her son John and his family. She is found residing with them in 1851 and 1861. | Ferguson, Helen (I22078)
|
| 1039 | According to researcher, Richard Smith, Claudette was a "Fille du Roi" ("Daughter of the King"). The "Filles du Roi" were single, young women who were sent from France to New France (Quebec) as suitable brides for the soldier/settlers. The earliest French settlers in New France were soldiers who were encouraged to stay and settle in New France, however there was a distinct shortage of women for them to marry and have children with. Thus the French King Louis XIV established the "Filles du Roi" program. | Des Chalets, Claudette (I4693)
|
| 1040 | According to Ruth Brown's 1973 Family Tree, the earliest immigrant ancestor of this family was an Alexander Brown who "came from Northern Ireland and settled in Reading, Pennsylvania." Research on the later generations allows us to estimate Alexander's birth as circa 1710. DNA research confirms a genetic link between these Browns and a family of Browns who are found in the mid-19th century residing in Tandragee, County Armagh, Northern Ireland. The most recent common ancestor between these two branches is estimated as having lived sometime in the 17th century (possibly somewhat earlier). As such it is most likely that this Alexander came from the same place in Northern Ireland, so his place of birth is recorded here as probably being in County Down, Ireland. Little more is known about this Alexander Brown except that he had a son who moved to the Wyoming Valley in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, USA in 1786 and had a family there. Plumb's 1885 History of Hanover Township, Luzerne County identifies the name of this son as Alexander Brown who married Mary Tyler. It is not known if the senior Alexander Brown had any other children, nor if he had any siblings who also came to America. It is possible that Alexander Jr's migration to Luzerne County in 1786 may be coincident with the death of his father, this Alexander Brown. There was a massive exodus of Ulster-Scots to the Colonies, beginning in 1720, primarily arriving Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA and embarking west into the Appalachians. That would appear to fit the pattern for Alexander Brown. | Brown, Alexander (I19883)
|
| 1041 | According to Ruth Brown's tree, the Brown family came from Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA to Kingston, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania in 1786. Thus James was most likely born in Kingston. According to Plumb's 1885 History of Hanover Township, James Brown, son of Alexander Brown and Mary Tyler, "went to Wayne County." (sic, Wyoming County) According to Joan Huston: "James was the first Protonotary (principal clerk notary or probate officer) for Wyoming County. Buried in the Old Brick Cemetery, Eaton Township, Wyoming County, Pennsylvania. according to the Wyoming County Historical Society. According to Alverta Brown Martin's book "Pacific Northwest Grandfathers", he was buried in the Harding Cemetery." The former is correct. In 1830 (prior to the formation of Wyoming County), James Brown is found residing in Eaton, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, USA, with the following family: one male 0-4, one male 5-9, one male 30-39, two females 0-4, one female 5-9, 3 females 10-14, one female 30-39. James is the only Brown in Eaton in 1830. These ages coincide with James and his wife and children. In 1833, there is listed a Justice James Brown. There is no other James Brown known to be residing in Eaton at the time, so it is presumed to be this James Brown. In 1840 James was residing in Eaton, Luzerne, Pennsylvania, USA, with the following family: one male 10-14, one male 15-19, one male 40-50, two females 10-14, one female 15-19, two females 20-30, and one female 40-50. These ages coincide with James and his wife and younger children. He was residing nearby to his sister Jane Lee (nee Brown). In 1850 (after the formation of Wyoming County), James was residing in Eaton, (now in) Wyoming, Pennsylvania, USA as a widowed farmer with his children Martha, James and Mary. His son, Ryder, was residing nearby in Tunkhannock, Wyoming, Pennsylvania, USA. His age was given as 18. He was a farmer and residing with E. Jenkins and family. James death record gives his death as 29 JUN 1861, age 70 years, 9 months and 17 days. Gravestone transcription from Old Brick Church Cemetery, Eaton, Wyoming, Pennsylvania, USA: BROWN, James, Esq., d: 29 June 1861 70y 9m 17d "My Father Sleeps"; Martha, h/w, d: 31 Mar 1837 41y 9d (Illegible); Mary, h/w, was drowned in Bowman's Creek 27 Apr 1850 50y 26d --------------------------------------- Sam Gibson, custodian of The Browns of Priesthill database at Ancestry (http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/4962108/person/-1517567580), shows this James Brown as son of Alexander Brown (12 JUN 1763 in Big Springs, Pennsylvania, USA - 1791 in Browns Mill, Pennsylvania, USA) and Mary Tyler with children born 1780-1791 (as per Huston). Gibson shows Alexander as a son of James Brown (1724-1780) and Mary McClelland. This latter James Brown being a grandson of John Brown of Priesthill via his posthumous son John Brown (1684-1740). There appears to be no basis in evidence to make such a connection and DNA evidence has now excluded our Browns from likely descent from Priesthill. --------------------------------------- "I have his death record from Wyoming County Historical Society that has his death as 29 June 1861 and he was 70 years 9 months and 17 days old. This date evidently appears on his gravestone Old Brick Cemetery Eaton Township, Wyoming County, Pennsylvania. He was married 3 times, first two wives died in 1837 and 1850. I have two different books that put his birthdate in September 1791." Per Joan Huston, email on 1/12/2008. Birth date is calculated using death date and age at death from gravestone. | Brown, Justice James W. (I2093)
|
| 1042 | According to Severence, she married her cousin, John Stewart. | Stewart, Rebecca (I23572)
|
| 1043 | According to Sprigg family records, Arthur was an attorney in Maryland. | Steuart, Arthur Baxter (I21489)
|
| 1044 | According to Sprigg family records, in 1798, Rebecca inherited Sparrow's Nest plantation and other lands in Patapsco Neck, Maryland, USA, from her late father. Her lands included the contiguous estates of Lloyd's Point, Prevention, Howell Powell, and Ridgely estates. These latter estates went to her son Richard Spriggs Steuart. | Sprigg, Rebecca (I14182)
|
| 1045 | According to Spriggs family records and Nelker, Mary never married. | Steuart, Mary Elizabeth (I22127)
|
| 1046 | According to Stewart Clan Magazine, this Dugald Stewart was the son or descendant of Donald Stewart of Auchnaquone. "Donald Stewart of Auchnaquone, Argyleshire, who had brothers Alexander, Duncan, Alan and Dugald, was descended from Dugald Stewart of Auchnaquone, third son of Sir Alan Stewart of Appin. There are five or six generations unaccounted for. 'The old and valuable papers of the Achnacone|Auchnaquone| family,' said THE STEWARTS OF APPIN, 1880, 'have, unfortunately, been lost.'" (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, December 1956, vol. 34, no. 6, pp.177-179.) Gordon MacGregor (The Red Book of Scotland) shows some of the intervening missing generations but gives no further information on Dugald other than his name. Dugald was one of the members of the party who sailed with Patrick Stewart, 5th of Ledcreich, from Scotland to Cape Fear, North Carolina, USA, in 1739. Dugald Stewart is listed in 1740 as receiving a land grant in Bladen County for 640 acres, in which he is listed immediately following Patrick Stewart of Ledcreich. Dugald is also listed as settling in Harnett County in 1740 (probably the same place.) Stewart Clan Magazine says: "Dugald Stewart apparently came from Scotland, with his wife and some children, in 1739 in the same influx of highland settlers as Patrick Stewart. Dugald died, intestate, prior to Apr. 13, 1756, when Thomas Stewart, his "oldest son and heir at law," sold 200 of the 640 acres to John Rea. Thomas died about 1760, leaving issue an only child, Elizabeth. This Elizabeth Stewart never married, and at her death some time after Apr. 7, 1812, she devised her plantation (apparently the remaining 440 acres of her father's estate) to her cousins -- Robert, Hector and Dugald Stewart... Elizabeth's cousins -- Robert, Hector and Dugald Stewart -- almost had to be grandsons of Dugald through a younger brother of Thomas." (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, February 1957, vol. 34, no. 8, pp.185-188.) | Stewart, Dugald in Achnacone (I15389)
|
| 1047 | According to Stewart Clan Magazine, Tignal Jones Stewart was the "only identified child" of Charles Stewart and Polly Jones. "Tingnall Jones: his father was appointed his guardian Oct. 15, 1810." (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, March 1957, vol. 34, no. 9, pp.189-192) Tignal Jones Stewart had a first cousin by his uncle Duncan Stewart, also named Tignal Jones Stewart who was born in 1800. Their parents were double-siblings so they shared the same double set of grandparents. Thus, on record they appear nearly identical. All records after 1810 for Tignal Jones Stewart born in 1800 appear to pertain to the other Tignal Jones Stewart, son of Duncan Stewart and Penelope Jones. No record for this Tignal Jones Stewart has been found later than the guardianship noted in Stewart Clan Magazine above. It is presumed that this Tignal Jones Stewart never married nor had children. This is further supported by the fact that Tignal Jones Stewart is not mentioned in the farming partnership documents of his brothers, Duncan and Charles, suggesting that this Tignal Jones Stewart had died by 1832. | Stewart, Tignall Jones (I17702)
|
| 1048 | According to Stewarts of the South (c. 1815-1820), III-Branch was known as Sliochd Rob Duibh Mhoir, indicating that they descend from a patriarch named Robert Dubh Mor Stewart ("Big Black Robert"). His nickname indicates that he was likely large and had black hair. He is described in Stewarts of the South as being "a son of Gartnafuaran." That is, he was the son of one of the lairds of Gartnafuaran. He was previously believed to be Robert Stewart, son of Alexander Stewart, 5th of Gartnafuaran, who was the only Robert Stewart documented in Duncan Stewart's 1739 History of the Stewarts, as being a son of a Stewart of Gartnafuaran in the right era. However, we now know that Robert Stewart, son of Alexander Stewart, 5th of Gartnafuaran, resided in Culgartmore in Drymen parish and was patriarch of VI-Branch of the Stewarts of Gartnafuaran who resided in Calziemore on Loch Lomond. The accounting of III-Branch and VI-Branch do not lend themselves to Robert Dubh Mor Stewart in Ardchullarie being identical with Robert Stewart in Culgartmore. Thus, Robert Dubh Mor Stewart of III-Branch must descend from an earlier Stewart of Gartnafuaran. Stewarts of the South says that Rob Dubh Mor was a "tenant of Wester Ardchulary [in] Balquhidder parish in Strathyre[,] district of Auchlessy." Rob Dubh Mor Stewart is described in Stewarts of the South as having a descendant named Robert McDonachie Stewart (Robert, son of Duncan Stewart). Robert McDonachie Stewart has been identified in Callander parish records as having married in 1766 in Callander to Janet Black. Robert McDonachie was probably born around 1735. Since Robert McDonachie is described as a "descendant" of Rob Dubh Mor, rather than a son or grandson, then a gap of at least two generations between them seems likely. If Robert McDonachie was born around 1735, then his father was probably born about 1705, his grandfather about 1675, and his great-grandfather about 1645, with an increasing margin of error with each subsequent generation. Thus, we are looking for a laird of Gartnafuaran who was probably born no later than about 1675 +/-20 years. Alexander Stewart, 8th of Gartnafuaran, was having children too late to be the father of Rob Dubh Mor. Walter Stewart, 7th of Gartnafuaran, had a son named Robert who has already been accounted for elsewhere and could not be identical with Rob Dubh Mor Stewart. Thus, we are looking at Andrew Stewart, 6th of Gartnafuaran as the latest possible candidate to be the father of Rob Dubh Mor. However, we have no record of Andrew having a son named Robert. That doesn't mean he didn't have a son, Robert; just that we have no record of any such son. If we go back one more generation we do find that Alexander Stewart, 5th of Gartnafuaran did have a son named Robert, however that Robert has now been identified as the patriarch of VI-Branch. Thus Rob Dubh Mor must descend from an earlier Stewart of Gartnafuaran. | Stewart, _____ (III-Branch of Gartnufuaran) (I30087)

| 1049 | According to Stewarts of the South (ca. 1815), Patrick Stewart was the son of Rob Mac Pharick mac Iain Du Beg Stewart. He was the father of Duncan Rioch Stewart ("Duncan with the tawny-grey hair," patriarch of 2-Line of descendnats) and John Riach Mor Stewart ("Big John with the tawny-grey hair," patriarch of 3-Line of descendants). --- Stewarts of the South says: "Patrick mac Ross mhic Pharick had two sons called Donach Rioch & Iain Riach. 1. Donach Rioch -- One of them, Duncan, a good soldier a Tacksman of Lianach [in] Glenbuckie left two sons: a son [who is] a moss laird [at] Flanders Moss [in] Summerline. [He is] an industrious man [who] has two sons with himself; and a son Duncan, his brother, [who is] a workman [in the] village of Thornhill [in] Down [Doune] parish. [He has] four sons [who are all] minors. 2. Iain Riach Mor lived at Camusbarron near Stirling [and] had four or five sons. I believe one of them was the same John Stewart who served and died with you when in the 42 Regt. John Riach Mor was a very good soldier." * Rioch and Riach, although different but similar words in Gaelic, are most likely either a transcription error for the same word here or an inconsistent phonetic spelling by the original author. Rioch means “to flail the skin” while Riach means “to cut along the surface”. Both words could be references to battle wounds. However, in this situation, they are most likely a phonetic contraction of riabhach (pronounced “ree-ah- wachk”) which means “brindled or greyish brown” indicating that the two brothers (Duncan and John) had similar tawny brown hair streaked with grey. | Stewart, Patrick mac Ross mhic Pharick 2-3-Line (I17465)
