One of these piano players was Marion McVean. (Yet another small world connection between the McVean and Sharpe famillies.) The1901 census does show Albert living with his mother and sister. | Sharpe, Albert (I14194)

The deceased was the son of James Stewart, who came to Canada in 1830 from Perthshire, bringing his wife and two young sons, Alexander and John. They settled on what of later years has been known as the Farquharson farm on the creek south of the town, and here the other members of the family, the late Donald, Robert (of Bromley), James (of Pembroke), Catherin (now Mrs. James Ward), Margaret (now Mrs. George Eady Jr.), Mary (now Mrs. Reid of Grattan), and Margery (now Mrs. McVean of Pembroke), were born. Alexander remained farming with his father till he was 21 years of age, when he was married to Elizabeth McLaren, daughter of the late Jas. McLaren, daughter of the late Jas. McLaren, and sister of Mr. Robert McLaren; and the young couple thereupon started life as pioneer farmers on the 3rd Line of Horton, north of the Bonnechere, which farm has been the homestead for over half a century. There the young couple and their growing family did the hard work of pioneers, but prospered withal. Mr. Stewart at times did duty as Councillor and member of School Board, and years ago was entrusted with the work of superintending the government expenditure on the Pinnacle Road, and it was so well done as to be a matter of remark for years. He was also an elder of the Presbyterian congregation for a long period. He was the only elder of late years still acting who was an elder when Rev. Dr. Campbell came to the congregation over thirty years ago. He was all that an elder should be, thoughtful and faithful in the work of his church, and living a life of probity that well accorded with his office. His interest in Christian work was further shown by his zeal in conducting a Sunday School in the summer months in the school-house adjoining his farm. Mrs. Stewart died 19 years ago; and two children predeceased her, (Catherine and Alexander). There are living five sons and three daughters: Margaret, (Mrs. Wm. Logan); James of California; Robert of Mattawa; Mary, Christina, and John at home; Donald of Minnesota; and Duncan of Prince Albert, N.W.T. From his length of residence, larger family connection, and the esteem in which he was held as a citizen and neighbour, his funeral on Monday afternoon was one of the largest ever seen in the neighbourhood. The services were conducted by Rev. John Hay, B.D. The pall-bearers were his fellow elders of St. Andrew’s congregation - James Leitch, James Stewart, Dr. Mann, W.M. Dickson, P. Dougall and James Ward. A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday morning (3rd Aug.) in St. Andrew’s church. Died. Stewart - In Horton, on Friday, July 25th, 1902, Alexander Stewart, aged 74 years. The family slept their first night in Renfew in the Airth house. This was about the year 1830." (The Story of Renfrew - From the Coming of the First Settlers About 1820 by W. E. Smallfield and Rev. Robert Campbell, D.Sc. Renfrew, Smallfield and Son, 1919) | Stewart, Alexander (I14850)

| 1008 | Alexander is not named in the family bible and is presumed to have died in infancy. The following is also from the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856):: "Certified copy of what is written in the family bible Lendrick 1756 that I bought this [presumably referring to the bible] for 4 pounds Scots money out of Glasgow written and signed by me Archibald Stewart. On account of my age and when the year of God I was born 1712 and married in year of God 1737 and Margaret was born in the year of God 1739 and was married in February 1763. So, Isabel was born in August 1741 and Archibald was born in November 1749 and Donald was born about the 1st of August 1757 On account when my father and mother dyed [died], my father dyed the year of God 1740 and was buried in his own spulcher [sepulchre], and my mother dyed the year of God," | Stewart, Alexander (I14882)

| 1009 | Alexander Brown is mentioned in Ruth Brown's family tree where he is shown as one of four sons of an unknown Brown who came from Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA to Kingston, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, USA in 1786. The four sons are named as: George, Alexander, James and William. No further information is given about Alexander. Plumb's 1885 History of Hanover Township, identifies Alexander Brown as a son of Alexander Brown and Mary Tyler. He is said to have "went away", or moved away from Luzerne County. Nothing further is known of his later whereabouts or his descendants. Alexander's date of birth is merely estimated based on the above references in conjunction with the birth dates of those of his siblings which can be confirmed. Plumb lists Alexander as the first child, but the order of children in Plumb has been shown to disagree with confirmable birth dates, thus it cannot be reliably inferred from Plumb that Alexander was in fact the first born. Family in Wilkes-Barre by 1884 had lost track of Alexander. There is an Alexander Brown buried in the cemetery at Fort Kingston, Luzerne County, which could be this Alexander. Various unsourced trees at Ancestty give Alexander's vitals as: Alexander Brown BIRTH ABT 1784 • Lancaster Co. PA DEATH AUG., 1835 • Wyoming County Pennsylvania, USA Burial: Old Brick Church Cemetery Eaton Township Tunkhannock Wyoming County Pennsylvania, USA | Brown, Alexander (I1740)
|
| 1010 | Alexander Brown was the son of another Alexander Brown who came from Northern Ireland and settled in Reading, Berks County (formerly Lancaster County), Pennsylvania, USA. This Alexander was probably born in Berks County (though at the time it was still Lancaster County) and came with his wife and children to the Wyoming Valley in 1786 where he settled in Kingston, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, USA. Henry Blackman Plumb's 1885 History of Hanover Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, USA, provides a five-generation family tree for this family through Alexander's son, William Brown. The full tree can be found here: http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~culbert/Hanover/brown.htm Plumb shows the first two generations as: Alexander Brown was born in Lancaster* County, Pa.; emigrated to Kingston, Luzerne County, with his family; married Mary Tyler. They had: -- Alexander Brown, - went away. John Brown, - went away. George Brown, - went away. James Brown, - went to Wayne County, Pa. (sic) William Brown, m. Sarah Lewis. Sarah Brown, m. Gideon Underwood. Jane Brown, m. Jesse Lee. In 1973 Ruth Brown of Scranton, since deceased, informed Linda Brown (Homer's granddaughter and daughter of Clarence L. and Dorothy Brown) that she believed Alexander came from what is now Berks County, or that portion of Lancaster Co. now in Berks. Ruth Brown presents the family as follows: Alexander Brown came from Northern Ireland and settled in Reading, Penna. -- Brown, his son came to Wyoming Valley in 1786 -- Brown had four sons - George, Alexander, James, and William William Brown Born 1770 married Sarah Lewis born 1778, about 1794. Their Children: William Brown Jr: born June 1, 1797 Elizabeth, died in infancy Wm. Brown Sr. died May 1797 Sarah Lewis-Brown married Archibald Smiley in 1805. Their Children: (2) John died 8 yrs old., (1) Samuel, (3) Archibald, (4) Lewis We interpret "-- Brown" in lines 2 & 3 to refer to the same person, and thus interpret the two lines to read: "-- Brown, his son, came to Wyoming Valley in 1786 [and] had four sons - George, Alexander, James, and William." We know from Plumb that "-- Brown" is this Alexander Brown who married Mary Tyler. On 20 JAN 1794 Alexander Brown and Thomas Wigdon jointly purchased lots 25 and 26 in Braintrim Township, known as Mounts Bottom from Joel Whitcomb for 24 pounds to be paid in the form of 20 dollars in store goods on demand, 100 of barr iron, and the residue in cash. It is not known if the Alexander Brown in question is this Alexander Brown, but no other Alexander Brown has been identified. On 27 MAR 1794 Alexander Brown of Wilkes-Barre, purchased a 3 acre house lot in Kingston for 60 pounds from Oliver Parrish. The legal description was Kingston house lot 35 bounded Northerly on the lands of Oliphalet Follet, deceased, Eastwardly on the River Susquehanna. It is not known if the Alexander Brown in question is this Alexander Brown, but no other Alexander Brown has been identified. The 1796 Tax Rolls for Kingston Township, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, USA, list Alexander Brown and his son William Brown among the 98 persons on the tax rolls for Kingston. (Bradsby's 1893 History of Luzerne County) A Letter of Administration for the estate of the late Alexander Brown, dated 26 AUG 1796, who died intestate, lists Elizabeth and John Brown as Administrators and William Brown as Surety. ---------------------------------------------------- Another, less likely possibility exists for the father of this Alexander Brown, as Ruth Brown's 1973 family history is the only evidence we have that this Alexander was the son of an Alexander. There was another Alexander Brown, son of Colin Brown, in the area whose family names match this Alexander. It could be a coincidence, or it could be that Ruth Brown's tree is in error. Without sufficient evidence we cannot be certain. A potential connection is inferred from the following: Alexander is mentioned in the will of Colin Brown as his oldest surviving son. James, another son, was younger. Colin and James and Alexander were members of Rev. Cuthbertson's church. Among others, Rev. Cuthbertson baptised a son Alexander to James and a daughter Elizabeth to Alexander. Our Alexander, should the forgoing Alexander not be one and the same, had an Elizabeth Brown designated as administrator of Alexander's estate. That an Elizabeth Brown, presummably a daughter of our Alexander is named Administrator and the presummed Alexander had a daughter Elizabeth baptised is pretty It good evidence that the 2 Alexanders are the same. Further, their ages tend to coincide based upon approximate age at marriage and death. Dauphin Co. Deed Book E-1, Pg. 109, is purported to record a deed dated 1777 in which an Alexander Brown and wife Jannet Milroy are mentioned. In Deed Book GG, pg. 265, an Alexander Brown and wife Elizabeth of Salisbury Twp. sold land in Salisbury Twp 1 Aug. 1785. In 1973 Ruth Brown of Scranton, since deceased, informed Linda Brown (Homer's granddaughter and daughter of Clarence L. and Dorothy Brown) that she believed Alexander came from what is now Berks County, or that portion of Lancaster Co. now in Berks. According to Ruth the immigrant Brown was named Alexander and that he came from Northern Ireland to settle in Reading. Research what one can in Reading. It seems, by belonging to the Covenentor Church that Colin and/or his older children came from Northern Ireland as most members of the Church were known as Scotch Irish. It was one of the immigrant's sons who came to the Wyoming Valley in 1766. Ruth said he had four sons, George, Alexander, James, and William. Except for John, this list matches the sons listed by Plumb in his History of Hanover, for Alexander. The Register of Rev. Cuthbertson lists the baptisms of the following as children of Alexander Brown: Elizabeth, John, Martha, Mary, and for "A." Brown, Henry. Elizabeth and John Brown are the names of those appointed to administer his estate in 1797. Plumb's History also lists John. He does not mention any of the other children of Alexander that were baptised by Cuthbertson. This may be simply due to the fact that, with the exception of Elizabeth and John, those baptised were the oldest children who presumably were married and living on their own, not following their father in his move to Kingston. --------------------------------- The Brown Family. Alexander Brown 1 was born in Lancaster County, Pa.; emigrated to Kingston, Luzerne County, with his family; married Mary Tyler. They had: -- Alexander Brown, - went away. John Brown, - went away.

| 1011 | Alexander Cuthbert, a harness maker and bailiff for the 3rd District court at Dresden, Kent County, moved to Dresden in 1873 from Glencoe, Ontario. He was born in Elginshire, Scotland (present-day Morayshire) near the village of Forres (note: not "Forrest"), near the north-east coast of Scotland. Alexander emigrated from Scotland in 1856 with his mother and father. The family first settled in London, Ontario where Alexander's mother, Margerie, died in 1865 at 33 years of age. Alexander and his father then moved to Glencoe, and in 1873 (or 74) to Dresden where they finally settled. Alexander would have been 13 years old when his mother died. Alexander studied leather working like his father and grandfather. Initially he apprenticed as a harness maker but he also took up shoe-making as harnesses became less in demand. By 1916 the family appears to have moved to Walkerville, according to son Charles' WWI recruiting document. 004600-78 (Kent Co.) Alexander CUTHBERT, 25, saddler, Morayshire Scotland, Dresden, widowed, s/o Andrew & Mary, married Mary Jane PRANGLEY, 24, Dawn, same, d/o Charles & Allie?, witn Revd. S. HUGHES & James McVEAN, on 20 April 1878, at Dresden. Interestingly, Alexander is buried with his first wife. | Cuthbert, Alexander (I3221)

| 1012 | Alexander D. Stewart was born in 1799 in Ardcheanochdan, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. It is not known what his middle initial stood for, but it is liely Duncan. In 1809, when Alexander was ten years old, he moved with his parents to Kirkline on the Blair Drummond Moss in Kincardine-by-Doune, Perthshire, Scotland. In 1818, his family left Scotland and immigrated to St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada. In 1825, Alexander's father, Duncan Stewart is shown residing in a house with 11 occupants: 2 under the age of 6 (Charles 6 and Daniel 3); 2 between 6-14 (John 13 and Peter 9); 2 between 14-18 (Archibald 16 and Jannet 16); 2 males between 18-25 (Alexander and James D); one male over 60 (Duncan 50); one single female between 14-45 (Mary); one married female between 14-45 (unknown); and one married female over 45 (Agnes McGregor). Also residing in Dundee at the time was Robert Stewart with one child under 6, one male 18-25, and one married female between 14-45. Robert is of no known relation to Duncan. The 1831 Godmanchester Statistical Report gives us an informative picture of the progress of the family's development of their farm. It shows Duncan Stewart occupying Lot 60 Range 1 in St. Anicet, Huntingdon. It indicates that he settled in 1818. It also shows his son, Alexander Stewart, as another head of household sharing the same lot, occupying Range 1 & 2. They had 13 acres cleared, 12 acres under cultivation, one house, one barn, one head of family and his wife, 8 males, 2 females, one horse, 14 horned cattle, 6 pigs and 12 sheep. On 1 Dec 1831, Alexander Stewart married Ann McIntosh. "Alexander Stewart of Godmanchester, farmer, and Ann McIntosh of the city of Montreal spinster were after due proclamation of having joined in the Holy Bonds of Matrimony on the first day of December one thousand eight hundred and thirty one by Alex Mathieson, Minr."

RB Somerville’s Company includes Pvt John Stewart. And the Dundee Local Militia 1838 paylist: Corp. Alexander Stewart, Corp. John Ferguson. In 1842, Duncan Stewart's widow, Agnes McGregor, was residing in Godmanchester (which included St. Anicet) where she is recorded in the census as "Widow Stewart" with 5 inhabitants in her home. Next to her was Alex Stewart with 7 inhabitants, Peter Stewart with 3 inhabitants, and James Stewart with 5 inhabitants. In 1851, at age 54, Alexander Stewart was residing in St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada, with his wife Ann McIntosh, age 56, and their children, Duncan 17, Donald 10, Christen 19, Anne 15, Agnes 12, Jane 3, James 1 In 1861, at age 60, Alexander was living in St Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada, with his wife Ann, 50, and children Donald, 15, Jennet, 12.

He had likewise two natural sons, John and Patrick."

|
| 1023 | Alexander inherited the family farm on lot 11, southeast, concession 13, Mountsberg, East Flamborough Township, Wentworth County. Alexander's gravestone reads: "Alexander Stewart died 23rd December 1889, Aged 83 years and 4 months, A native of Perthshire, Scotland." | Stewart, Alexander (I14763)
|
| 1024 | Alexander is believed to be the Alexander "Raffan" incorrectly transcribed and residing in 1851 in Milltown of Gaval with his grandfather, Alexander Stewart. Alexander may have have been illegitimate and orphaned. | Jaffray, Alexander (I8246)
|
| 1025 | Alexander is believed to have moved to Keith as a child or youth. He is found in local parish records and appears to be ages with John Cuthbert. On this basis only, it is tentatively suggested that Alexander and John could be brothers. | Cuthbert, Alexander (I3225)
|
| 1026 | Alexander is briefly mentioned in Stewarts of the South as "Alexander, his successor". This reference likely refers back to Sheumais mac Alasdair mhic Donnachaidh Stewart and probably means that this Alexander was his lineal male descendant. | Stewart, Alexander (I15009)
|
| 1027 | Alexander is buried in the Old Brick Church Cemetery, Eaton, Wyoming, Pennsylvania, USA, along with his parents. They are the only Browns in that cemetery. | Brown, Alexander (I1711)
|
| 1028 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South (Glenbuckie: VI Walter nan Cliugh, 2 Line) as: "Alexander Stewart, [a] tacksman of Sheanchoil [in] Aberfoil parish [in the Lordship] of Monteith [on the] Duke of Montrose['s property]. [He has] three sons: 1. John is a writer in Glasgow; 2. Duncan is with his father at home looking after the farm; 3. Alexander is a minor and at home likewise." Shenachyle derives from the Gaelic Sean Coil which means "Old Woods." According to descendant family records, Alexander married Sarah MacGregor. Alexander's marriage to Sarah MacGregor is recorded on 22 MAR 1787 in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland and 25 MAR 1787 in Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland. This would be consistent with the account given by Mrs. Stewart of Milton that Alexander's family came from Strone in Callander and that two of his sons, John and Alexander were both lawyers in Glasgow. No birth record has been found for any of Alexander's sons in Callander. It's possible they were born in Glasgow. | Stewart, Alexander in Shenachyle and Diniverig (I15063)
|
| 1029 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as "a moss lord in Flanders Moss at Summerline" with two sons. Census records confirm that he resided at #4 Summer's Lane on the Blair Drummond Moss. In 1798, at age 28, Alexander Stewart in Ardveich and Margaret Ferguson in Tomranach of Ardveich had an illegitimate son, James, who is found living with Alexander in the 1814 Moss census. In 1803, at age 33, Alexander Stewart married in Balquhidder and Comrie parishes to Kathrine McIntyre. In 1807, Alexander Stewart moved his family from Lochearnhead in Balquhidder parish to the #4 Summer's Lane on the Blair Drummond Moss in Kincardine-by-Doune, Perthshire, Scotland. In 1814, Alexander Stewart was residing at #4 Summer's Lane on the Blair Drummond Moss in Kincardine-by-Doune, Perthshire, Scotland with his wife and children. The 1814 Moss Census gives the followin information: Summer's Lane No4 Former Possessor: John McGregor Present Possessor: Alexander Stewart 42 yrs Katherine McIntyre 32 " Children James 15 yrs Donald 8 " Katherine 5 " Christian 3 " John 1 " Persons deceased: Finlay 1 mth 1811 Chincough Years Settled on the Moss 8 years Where they came from: Lochearnhead 2 cats, 4 chickens, 1 cow, 1 horse, 1 harrow, 1 plough, 1 cart. In 1841, at age 70, Alexander Stewart was residing at Summerlane, Blair Drummond Moss, Kincardine, Perthshire, Scotland with his wife and their children, Daniel, Christian, and Elizabeth. Alexander was employed as a farmer. In 1851, at age 80, Alexander Stewart was residing at Rossburn Lane, Blair Drummond Moss, Kincardine, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife, Catherine, and their children Daniel, Ann and Elizabeth, along with two of the Rankin grandchildren. Alexander was employed as a farmer of 16 acres. In 1861, at age 91, Alexander Stewart was residing at Rossburn Lane, Blair Drummond Moss, Kincardine, Perthshire, Scotland, as a widower with his children Daniel, Ann and Elizabeth. Alexander was employed as a farmer of 16 acres. Alexander is not found in 1871 and is presumed to have died 1861-1871. He is not found in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions. | Stewart, Alexander in Summerline (I14898)

| 1030 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as "a spirit dealer in Edinburgh" with two sons who were minors ca. 1815. Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland, says, " Alexander Stewart, bap. at Balquidder, on 18 July 1776 and was serving in the Navy in 1812." | Stewart, Alexander (I14886)
|
| 1031 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as "Alexander is a minor and at home likewise." According to Mrs Stewart of Milton Alexander was a writer (lawyer) in Glasgow. | Stewart, Alexander (I14857)
|
| 1032 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as "Alexander Stewart, a brother's son of Duncan in the tack, [is] with himself [and] unmarried." This is a reference to his uncle, Duncan Stewart, tacksman of Glengyle. | Stewart, Alexander (I14837)

| 1033 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as "Alexander, who is a tacksman of Auchyle, Port parish. He has four sons who are all minors. Rent £60." In the Appendix to Stewarts of the South as: "Mr Alexander Stewart, his son (son of the preceding James Stewart), tenant in Auchyle, of the same family (Ardvolrich), very inferior to his father in point [of] activity and prudence, and a sottish coof. £60.

|
| 1034 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as "Alexander, [a] crofter, under McFarlane of Coillechra [in] Callendar parish and on Loch Catherineside who has also one son." Alexander is suggested by Malcom Gray to have married to Catharine MCNAUGHTON although no record of their marriage has been found. Catharine was born ABT 23 DEC 1778 in Kilmadock, Perthshire. Scotland as the daughter of Duncan McNaughton and Mary McKinlay. They had the children shown here, most of which are not found in OPRs and are believed to have come from The Buchanan Family Tree. | Stewart, Alexander (I14859)
|
| 1035 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as "late tacksman in Ardcheanchnock left one son (James)". (See notes on this Alexander's father for further explanation.) | Stewart, Alexander (I15013)
|
| 1036 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as "Lieutenant Alexander Stewart, of the P[erthshire] Militia, who is now a feuer in St Fillans, Comrie parish, on Drummond's estate. He has two sons -- one who is a student of Divinity and the other who is a minor by a second marriage." (ca.1815-20) The Comrie OPR clearly identifies Alexander's second marriage in which he is described as "Lieutenant Alexander Stewart" "in Comrie" initially and "in St. Fillans" latterly. His first marriage is not so clear. There is only one son born to an Alexander Stewart in Comrie in the preceding few years (that has not been accounted for with another family) and that is William Stewart, bap 17 JAN 1802 in Comrie Village in Comrie parish as the son of "Mr." Alexander Stewart and Jane(t) Reid. This is the only child for them. They were married on 25 AUG 1800 in Comrie with Alexander described as "in the parish of Balquhidder" and Janet Reid as "in this parish" (Comrie). The specification of "Mr." is noteworthy as it is very rare in the OPRs of that era. It usually designates one of two things: a clergyman or a minor landowner/feurer. Thus, William's birth is a near-perfect match for Lieut. Alexander's first son, except for onomastics. The Fasti Ecclesia confirms that Alexander's son, William was a student of Divinity. According to Stewarts of the South, Alexander's father was named Daniel Stewart in Walbeich. However, current research suggests that his father's name was more likely Robert and that Robert's father or grandfather was the Daniel Stewart in Walbeich mentioned in Stewarts of the South. As such, if William is this Alexander's first son then Alexander violated onomastic custom, possibly because his first wife may have died in childbirth and Alexander chose to honour Janet Reid's father by naming their son after him instead of his own father, perhaps feeling that he would have another opportunity to name a son after his own father. If so, then the onomastics work just fine. As such, for now we are tentatively suggesting that William could be Alexander's first son with the preceding uncertainties noted. The Comrie OPR records Alexander's second marriage as: "1815, April 6th, Lieut. Alexr Stewart and Margt Comrie, both in this parish, proclaimed themselves and were married on the 8th." In 1825, Alexander Stewart named his daughter, Helen Maxton Stewart, after Helen Maxton, wife of William Stewart, 8th of Ardvorlich. Alexander is found in 1841 residing in Dalginross, just south of the village of Comrie in Comrie parish, Perthshire, Scotland with his wife, Margaret, and daughters, Helen and Margaret. In 1851, Alexander's wife is recorded as a widow, thus Alexander died sometime between 1841-1851, but his exact date of death is not known. No death or burial record has been found for him. | Stewart, Lieutenant Alexander in St. Fillans (I15064)

| 1037 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as an underaged son. | Stewart, Alexander (I14917)
|
| 1038 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as being a merchant in Glasgow with one son. | Stewart, Alexander (I14883)
|
| 1039 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as being one of the four sons of Charles Stewart: "two grown up to men, the one with himself and the other in the way of service, two remaining under age." Alexander would be one of the first two, but it's not safe to assume that he is the second or that Stewarts of the South has them in the correct order. In 1851 Alexander is found residing in Culnamoon, Port of Menteith with his 25 year old wife Margaret, his newborn son Charles and his 7 year old nephew, John. In 1871 Alexander is found residing in Cottrie, Port of Menteith as a farmer with his son Charles and daughter Margaret. Proclaimed in order to marriage in 1847 January 10th Alexander Stewart [Culliscuron ?] and Margaret Stewart were proclaimed regularly in order to marriage, and married by the rev ?? on the 12th/01/1847. | Stewart, Alexander (I14833)
|
| 1040 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as follows: "James Stewart had an uncle Alexander Stewart, commonly called Grudairgorrach. He (Alexander) was a Lieutenant in Colonel Stewart Invernenty's Regiment in the year 1745." He left one son, James who has two sons, who are slate quarriers on the Isle of Bute. His two sons are: 1. David, who has four sons who are minors. 2. James, who has four sons who are minors. Grudairgorrach means "The Batty Brewer." Grudaire means "brewer" and gorrach means "demented." To maintain the poetic alliteration of the original, we render that as "The Batty Brewer." Stewarts of the South gives no indication of where this line lived before the two grandsons moved to Bute. as such, we have been unable to identify them in records. | Stewart, Lieut. Alexander Grudairgorrach (I15081)
|
| 1041 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as late in Monachyle Tuarach, thus he died before 1815. Alexander married on 14 APR 1771 in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland to Anna FISHER (both from Balquhidder parish). | Stewart, Alexander (I15061)
|
| 1042 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as one of James' two younger sons who were "at their education [and are] intended for the learned professions." Alexander's later whereabouts is unknown. He was previously mistakenly reported to be the following: "Alexander Stewart, joint tenant residing in Brackland, afterwards residing in Sheels. 3/5/1852." However, that testament belongs to Alexander Stewart in Easter Brackland, born 1761 in Wester Brackland. | Stewart, Alexander (I14855)
|
| 1043 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Alexander Stewart mac Iain Duibh brother to James of Dunveirg." No dates or locations are given for him. His birth shown here is only an approximation. Given the lack of detail in Stewarts of the South for this line, it is possible that Alexander and his father and brother are out by one generation. It is inferred from the preceding entry that Alexander had no sons. | Stewart, Alexander mac Iain Dubh (I15071)
|
| 1044 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Alexander Stewart son to Duncan Stewart late tenant of ?Drunky, Port parish, Lordship of Menteith, now the property of Mr. Hunter in Edinburgh. He (Alexander) is a grocer in Glasgow. He has three sons in good circumstances; one of them is a student of Divinity." | Stewart, Alexander (I14911)
|
| 1045 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Alexander Stewart, his brother, [who is a] tenant in Bracklin. [He] has three sons under age." Alexander is described in the Appendix to Stewarts of the South as: "Mr Alexander Stewart, his [James'] brother, same farm (tenant in Easter Brackland), a rather better character, £75." Alexander is listed in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for Callander Cemetery: "224 1851 Francis STEWART, farmer (in) Brackland, in memory of (his) mother Mary AITKEN, 17 FEB 1843, age 75; brother James 5 JUN 1847, Alexander STEWART 11 OCT 1851, age (20 or 90)." Baptismal records can be found for only one of Alexander's children. Alexander's son, Francis, is found in census records. There is a gap where his first son should be, thus Walter is suggested as the name of his first son. Walter has not been found in census records. | Stewart, Alexander in Easter Brackland (I15053)
|
| 1046 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Alexander Stewart, known by the name of Lord Glasgow at Callander where he has some houses. He was once a grocer in Glasgow. He is both ignorant and purse proud. He is son to James Stewart, late tenant of Cuilanleogale in Callander parish on the Earl of Murray's estate. He has no family. He is cousin to James Ban, a man of different turn of mind." | Stewart, Alexander "Lord Glasgow" (I14950)
|
| 1047 | Alexander is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Alexander Stewart, son to the said Duncan Stewart of Glenbuckie & Graham of Dochry's daughter. [Alexander] was Tacksman of Tomnasai near the Kirkton of Balquhidder [on] Sir John McGregor's estate, of which he was dispossessed some time before his death, by one Ronald McGregor a son to Rob Roy, when the forfeited estates were in the hands of the Barons of the Exchequer." Stewarts of the South goes on to say that Alexander left three sons, and appears to identify these sons as Alexander, David, and John, who are described in some detail. However, these are actually Alexander's grandchildren, not his sons. Stewarts of the South has omitted an entire generation in its accounting. Alexander's son, Duncan, who is the actual father of the three sons so mentioned is missing from the accounting presented in Stewarts of the South. Stewarts of the South mentions that Alexander was dispossessed of Tomnasai by Ronald McGregor, however, chronologically, it is more likely that it was Alexander's son, Duncan, who was dispossessed and forfeited. Tomnasai has not been located on any maps, but its description places it near the Kirkton of Balquhidder. Its name may derive from Tom na saidh, which means “hill of the post” or from Tom na soi which means "gentle hill" or "a hill that is calm or of ease." Alexander's grandson, John, a published poet, said he was born on "the Hill of the Hay" which may be an allusion to the name, Tomnasai. (Barbara Neal) Alexander Stewart is also listed in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions for the cemetery at Brig O' Turk: "26 table stone (next to 25) DS 1786. IC. Pelican plucking its breast, on her nest. Alexander STEWART, brother John STEWART of Glenbucky, first son Duncan, 6 JUN 1760, age 68 (by sons Alexander, John, Duncan)." This entry requires some interpretation: Duncan Stewart is the one who died on 6 JUN 1760 at age 68. The stone is placed by Duncan's sons, Alexander, John and Duncan. The deceased Duncan was the first son of (this) Alexander Stewart (of Tomnasai), who was in turn the brother of John Stewart of Glenbuckie. The initials "IC" are the Latin initials of Duncan's second wife, Janet Campbell. It is important to note that Duncan is described as Alexander's "first son", thus we can infer that Alexander had other sons, who are presently unknown to us. Whoever these sons were they appear to have had no descendants recorded in Stewarts of the South. Alexander's son, Duncan, was presumably born at Tomnasai. He later moved to Brig o' Turk where he began his family. He returned to Kirkton sometime between 1729-1742. This likely indicates Duncan returning to claim Tomnasai as his inheritance, which suggests that Alexander likely died between 1729-1742. | Stewart, Alexander 1st of Tomnasai (I15065)
