| 1104 | According to the Ardvorlich History, Alexander's younger brother John was born in 1540 which would require Alexander to be born just prior to that. As his father was residing in Port of Lochearn (later renamed to St. Fillans), it is presumed that Alexander was born there. Alexander Stewart acquired Ardvorlich (possibly "Ard-mhoirlich" in Gaelic meaning "the height of the great hollow") in 1580 as a freeholder of the Crown. He became leader of a clan which, according to Duncan Stewart (1739), numbered about three hundred people. He also notes that Alexander was known by the Gaelic patronymic Mac-mhic-Bhaltair, "son of the son of Walter". He was likely known as such, rather than "mac Sheamuis" (son of James), because the clan chiefship passed from his grandfather, Walter, to his uncle, James Stewart, 4th of Baldorran, then likely skipped over his own father to Alexander. Duncan Stewart (1739) says: "This Alexander, who purchased Ardvorlich, had the Irish epithet, Mac-mhic-Walter, that is, the son of Walter's son, as had his brethren and posterity, to distinguish them from the Stewarts of Glenbucky and Garnafuaroe. The foresaid epithet likewise infers that Walter left but one son, viz James, who had issue. Alexander of Ardvorlich married Margaret Drummond, daughter to Drummond-Erinoch, by whom he had, 1 James, 2 William, 3 Duncan, and Isabel, married to John Stewart, great-grandfather to John Stewart of Glenbucky, likewise Janet, married to Duncan Stewart in Glenogle, ancestor to John Stewart of Hyndfield." The main branch of the clan was also known as Sliochd Tigh nan Eileann (Descendants of the House of the Island) in reference to a fortified house on Loch Venachar which they held. This property was Portnellan which passed to Alexander's younger brother, John, who was predecessor to the Stewarts of Annat. Alexander's brother-in-law, John Drummond of Drummonderinoch, who was keeper of the Royal Forest, found a group of MacGregors poaching in the forest. As punishment he cut off their ears and sent them home humiliated. The MacGregor clan rose in defense, killing Drummond and delivering his head to the dinner table of the Ardvorlich Stewarts while Alexander was away. At the sight of her brother's severed head on her dinner table, Margaret allegedly went nuts and ran off into the woods not to be found for days. Further legend has it that she was pregnant at the time and the shock sent her into labour and she delivered James Beag in the forest. In 1592 Alistair (Alexander) Stewart of Ardvorlich led a cattle raid in Lennox with two bagpipes leading the way. Allied Marriages Alexander sought to strengthen his ties to the rest of Clan Stewart of Balquhidder by marrying his daughters to the heads of the major branches. His daughter Janet married Duncan MacRobert Stewart, 2nd of Glenogle. His daughter Isabel married John Dubh Mor Stewart, 6th of Glenbuckie. His daughter Margaret married Andrew Stewart, 6th of Gartnafuaran. In 1622, Alexander and “the haill remanent persounes of the name of Steuart duelland within Balquhidder and Stragartney” ("the whole remaining persons of the name of Stewart dwelling in Balquhidder and Strathgartney") gave a Bond of assurance not to harm William, Earl of Menteith. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) The Stewarts of Ardvorlich continue to hold this estate to this very day. The Murder of John Drummond of Drummonderinoch [Warning - this story is rather gruesome] Alexander Stewart of Ardvorlich was married to Margaret Drummond of Drummonderinoch. Her brother, John Drummond, 4th Laird of Drummonderinoch, was keeper of the royal forest near Balquhidder. One day John caught a group of MacGregors poaching in the forest. As punishment for poaching he cut off their ears and sent them home humiliated. (Some versions say that John Drummond hanged the poachers as this was their second offense, and that he clipped their ears on their first offense.) The poachers ran home to their clansmen who were outraged at the humiliation brought upon their kin by John Drummond. The MacGregors vowed to have their revenge on Drummonderinoch and set out after him. When they found him, they killed him, cut off his head, wrapped his head in their tartan, and headed off to visit Drummond's sister at the house of Ardvorlich. When they arrived at Ardvorlich they found Alexander Stewart away and Margaret home alone. They asked for hospitality and were invited in. (In Highland culture, hospitality is an extremely important virtue. It would be a significant social sin to refuse hospitality to anyone at your door.) Margaret quickly brought bread, cheese, and drink, and then went off to the kitchen to prepare a more substantial meal for her guests. While Margaret was out of the room the MacGregors took the severed head of her brother and placed it on the dining table. They then proceeded to stuff her brother's mouth with the bread and cheese she had brought them. When Margaret returned to the dining room with the meal for her guests she was greeted by the gruesome severed head of her brother disgraced with her hospitable offerings. Margaret became hysterical (understandably) and ran from the house into the forest not to be heard from for days. To compound matters, Margaret was also pregnant at the time and nearly full-term. When Alexander returned home, he was distraught and combed the woods for his pregnant wife, but to no avail. Servants claimed to see glimpses of Margaret on the fringes of the forest but then she would disappear into the trees again before anyone could catch her. Eventually she did return home, but with a surprise. According to family legend, while she'd been away in the forest she gave birth to her child at the side of a lochan subsequently called, Lochan an Mna ("The Lady's Loch") after the birth that took place there. (Peter McNaughton) They named this son, James. (Lochan na Mna is located at the top of the Ardvorlich Burn about 5 km above Ardvorlich House. It is not identified on OS maps, but is located right beside Creagan an Lochan.) All lands and title were stripped from the MacGregors. The name MacGregor itself was outlawed. Anyone found using the name MacGregor could be killed without consequence. MacGregors either had to change their names or flee to the hills to avoid being killed. Anyone who was accused of a crime and who was able to capture or kill a MacGregor would receive a full pardon for their crime, regardless of how severe the crime was -- even murderers were pardoned if they could bring a MacGregor to heel. This proscription lasted for over 100 years before it was finally lifted! A Brazen Cattle Raid on Lennox Lest one be mistaken so as to think that the Ardvorlich Stewarts were only the victims of crime and violence, in 1592 Alistair (Alexander) Stewart of Ardvorlich led a cattle raid on Drumquhassil near Drymen in Lennox. Now cattle raiding into the Lowlands was certainly not uncommon among Highland clans. Highlanders were known to slip down in the dead of night into the Lowland farms, sneak away with a few head, and disappear into the darkness of the night time Highland hills. However Alistair Stewart of Ardvorlich apparently felt no need for the cover of darkness nor anything quite so clandestine. He felt so confident that he marched down into the Lennox in the middle of the day with his clan behind him and two bagpipers leading the way announcing their impending arrival. According to James Stewart in The Settlements of Western Perthshire, "...from the writ against the Stewarts of Ardvorlich for their raiding of the Lennox in 1592. The spoil consisted of three hundred sheep, one hundred and ninety-six cattle, and sixty-six horses." p73 Another interesting fact about this raid is that the Stewarts of Ardvorlich's former residence of Baldorran was also located in Lennox about 10 miles from Drumquhassil. So they were really poaching their own former neighbours! -------------- Full text of the writ against Ardvorlich and company for the cattle raid.

|
| 1111 | According to The Ardvorlich History, the descendants of John Stewart of the Milton were said to be the last family to live and farm in Strathgartny. John and his wife were said to have had a large family. His wife is the "Mrs. Stewart of Milton" who was the source of information for The Ardvorlich History chapter on Glenfinglas. In 1851 and 1861, John is found residing with his father in Milton, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. In 1871, John was residing at Milton, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland, as a farmer of 1000 acres of which 20 are arable, with his wife, Agnes Jane Stewart, and their children, John and Mary, and his widowed mother. | Stewart, John of the Milton (I16541)
|
| 1112 | According to The Ardvorlich History, there is a reference in the Atholl Hunting Rolls citing an Alexander Stewart in Glenogle in 1667. He would likely be too old to be Patrick's Stewart of Ledcreich's grandfather, so it seems more likely that he was a younger brother of Capt. Duncan Stewart. He is believed to be the Alexander Stewart mentioned as creditor in the testament of James Stewart in Wester Auchtow in 1684 (see 5 Line - The Stewarts in Auchtubh for more information). | Stewart, Alexander Younger of Glenogle (I22937)
|
| 1113 | According to The Ardvorlich History, they had three sons who all died young and one daughter who married a Ritchie from Kippen. | Stewart, Mary (I17181)
|
| 1114 | According to the Ballachulish Papers, Donald Stewart ("The Shooter") may have had a brother Duncan who went to Jamaica. | Stewart, Duncan? (I23973)
|
| 1115 | According to the Callander OPR, Charles and his brother James were born only one month apart which is impossible. It's more likely that they were twins and that they were baptized a month apart to avoid any later disputes over heredity in determining which brother was older. This would imply that his elder three brothers all died at birth. Charles is recorded in Stewarts of the South as: "Charles, [a] tenant of Garkechnie [on] Erskine of Cardross's estate [in] Port [of Menteith] Parish, Perth county, pay £40 of rent, who has four sons, two grown up to men, the one with himself and the other in the way of service, two remaining under age." OPR records indicate that Charles lived most of his early life in Grodich in Glenfinglas and that he and his wife and their young children did not move to Garkechnie until after 1805. | Stewart, Charles in Garkechnie (I15017)
|
| 1116 | According to the Comrie OPR, Duncan was born in Auchlessie, which is in Kilmadock parish, but he was baptized in Comrie. This information has been double-checked. | McNaughtan, Duncan (I10153)
|
| 1117 | According to the family bible, John was born before his parents were married. He 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," The fact that John may have been illegitimate would explain why he is listed in the family bible yet his younger brother, Donald, succeeded to the estate of Lendrick. | Stewart, John (I16524)
|
| 1118 | According to the family gravestone in Tandragee, Robert was born in 1812. He lived his life in Tandragee and he is buried in a very prominent location in the Tandragee Presbyterian Kirk yard along with his wife and several generations of descendants. Multiple records indicate that Robert was a baker. Robert is listed in the 1881 Slater's Royal National Commercial Directory for Tanderagee as a Baker on Church Street. He is the only commercial business owner surnamed Brown listed as residing in Tandragee in the directory. Parish records show Robert Brown married on 1 Jan 1839 in Tartaraghan, Armagh, Ireland, to Ruth Smith. Tartaraghan is about 10 km northwest of Portadown. Ruth Brown's will indicates she had a cousin named Smith, supporting the likelihood that this is the correct marriage. Early 19th Century Tithe Books Brown Robert 1834 Derryliliagh Tartaraghan Co.

|
| 1119 | According to the family tree, Isabella married John FORSYTH and then died. According to James Stewart’s notes, they had two daughters who died without issue. John then married secondly to Isabella’s sister, Janet. Isabella was residing with her parents in 1861 & 1871. | Stewart, Isabella Ainslie (I15721)
|
| 1120 | According to the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856), Baillie John Jaffrey had a son, Henry, and several other children by his first wife. The other children are not named and are said to have died without issue. Henry married and had children. He had several grandchildren who were claimants in the Glassingall dispute. However, their information is beyond the scope of this research project. | Jaffrey, Henry (I22064)
|
| 1121 | According to the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856), Baillie John Jaffrey had a son, Henry, and several other children by his first wife. The other children are not named and are said to have died without issue. | Jaffray, John (I22065)
|
| 1122 | According to the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856), Baillie John Jaffrey had a son, Henry, and several other children by his first wife. The other children are not named and are said to have died without issue. | Jaffray, Jean (I22066)
|
| 1123 | According to the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856), he "died unmarried." As his brother, Archibald is listed as their father's only son at the time of their father's death in 1742, then John must have died before then. | Stewart, John (I16534)

| 1130 | According to the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856):, and the account of Mrs Stewart of Milton, John Stewart in Auchnahard had only one son who survived to adulthood, namely, Alastair Mor Stewart. Thus, this Donald died young and never married. | Stewart, Donald (I15148)
|
| 1131 | According to the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856):, and the account of Mrs Stewart of Milton, John Stewart in Auchnahard had only one son who survived to adulthood, namely, Alastair Mor Stewart. Thus, this John died young and never married. | Stewart, John (I16508)
|
| 1132 | According to The Kenndy-Annat Tree, James Stewart of Innischaoraich married a daughter of Alexander Stewart, 3rd of Annat, but which daughter is not known. It could be one of the other two daughters already shown here or it could be another one whose identity is unknown. This marriage is supported by The Scottish Journal which also shows the two sons as shown here. However, according to Gordon MacGregor: James STEWART, 3rd of Incherich. (b. ca. 1635) married 25 JAN 1664 to Grizzel CAMPBELL, daughter of James Campbell, portioner of Duncrosk and had: 1. Duncan STEWART (b. ca. 1665); 2. Alexander STEWART; 3. Dugal STEWART. According to the Invernahyle genealogy in The Scottish Journal, James was succeeded in Innischaoraich by his uncle, Neil Stewart of Ledcharrie and Edarramhionoich. Although it appears this succession is correct, it is difficult to understand why all of James' brothers were passed over in the succession in preference of his uncle, unless Neil Stewart purchased Innischaoraich from James rather than inherited it. "James Stewart of Incherich, who, on 23 April 1702, had service as heir general to his father and grandfather,5 then on 2 May following, he had a precept of clare constat from John, Earl of Breadalbane, for infeftment in the 20 shilling lands of Incherich and half of Duncrosk as heir to his late grandfather, Dugall Stewart. He is said to have m. a daughter of Alexander Stewart of Annat and to have had two sons by her, Alexander and Neil, but both of them dying without issue, his estate passed to his uncle, Neil Stewart, as heir." (Gordon MacGregor, Red Book of Scotland) | Stewart, James 3rd of Innischaoraich (I16281)
|
| 1133 | According to the Kennedy-Annat Tree, Duncan Stewart, son of Alan Stewart of Innischaoraich, had a daughter who married a man named Glass from Stirling. | Stewart, Daughter (I14699)
|
| 1134 | According to the Kennedy-Annat Tree, Margaret Stewart was daughter of Allan Stewart of Innischaoraich who was in turn son of James Stewart of Innischaoraich. However, Stewarts of the South and the Invernahyle genealogy in The Scottish Journal both show that Allan Stewart, 2nd of Innischaoraich, was the son of Dugald Stewart, 1st of Innischaoraich, and the father of James Stewart, 3rd of Innischaoraich. Furthermore, according to the same source, Margaret married James Stewart predecessor of Drumvaich (of Annat). | Stewart, Margaret in Innishchaoraich (I16981)

| 1135 | According to the Ledcreich family history, Robert was cousin-german to Sir Robert Stewart of Weem. | Menzies, Robert (I23111)
|
| 1136 | According to The Scottish Journal, Alexander died unmarried. | Stewart, Alexander (I14276)
|
| 1137 | According to The Scottish Journal, Charles "purchased Bohalic in Athole, [and] left his estate to his dtr, having no male heirs." Gordon MacGregor shows Charles Stewart of Bohally as the son of John Stewart whereas The Scottish Journal shows Charles as a brother of John. Both accounts show Charles having a brother named Neil. MacGregor's account is a better chronological fit and is presently preferred. According to MacGregor, Charles served as an officer in the Atholl Brigade of the Jacobite army in 1745/46. He was wounded at Culloden and escaped. | Stewart, Charles of Bohally (I15023)

| 1138 | According to The Scottish Journal, Dugald "had an estate in Jamaica called Mountstewart. He sold it and divided it among his relations." | Stewart, Dugald (I15367)

|
| 1140 | According to the Society of Genealogists in London (founded by a Sherwood) as referenced in a book ?BAILEY, T.: Records of Longevity (London, 1857)?, this James Sherwood was 105 years old at the time of his death. TO BE UPDATED It is possible (and perhaps even likely) that all of the children listed here did not have the same mother. It is strongly believed that James may have been married at least twice and possibly three times. However it appears that there was only one Sherwood family in Ingleby Greenhow, Yorkshire, so we are fairly confident that all these children are of the same father James. A later genealogy indicates that this family may have lived in Kingston Upon Hull, Yorkshire for some time. A double registration for the birth of the first child, Mary, indicates that the family may have come from Cleveland, Yorkshire before settling in Ingleby Greenhow. A possible match for the birth of James can be found in Middleton in 1704 (see notes on James' father for more information). | Sherwood, James (I13595)
|
| 1141 | According to The Stewarts of Ardvorlich Book 3, Catharine married Archibald Buchanan in Coilentowie, however this Catharine' has been confused with her aunt Catharine Stewart who married in 1802 to Archibald Buchanan in Coilentowie. | Stewart, Catherine (I15069)
|
| 1142 | According to the Stewarts of Ardvorlich Supplement, Alexander Stewart had a line of descendants as shown here. This line is suspect. In 1766, upon the death of Dr. David Stewart in Breanachoile, he nominated Alexander Stewart, son of his uncle Donald Stewart, Tanner in Edinburgh, as his executor and "his nearest living relative on his father's side." Thus, Alexander Stewart and any of his (male) descendants must have been dead by 1766 or they would have succeeded as heirs to David Stewart over the descendants of Donald Stewart, Tanner in Edinburgh. | Stewart, Alexander (I14379)

| 1146 | According to The Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Vol. 3, p. 56, Robert Fisher lived at Edraleachdach and died unmarried. There is absolutely no doubt that Robert was a larger than life character in Perthshire and surrounding counties. Robert was affectionally known as ‘Uncle Bob’ to all friends and family - albeit being a little scary sometimes with his steely blue eyes and the physical strength that none could better when he was on the hill, at the gatherings or in the middle of a sheep pen. He was a very well-known figure in the West Perthshire sheep farming community and was recognised through-out the country as an expert on Blackface Sheep, frequently called upon to judge the blackface section at shows, including the Royal Highland Show. At the sheep sales in Stirling he would stand with his shepherds' crook raised above the auctioneer's head telling him not to let them go at a price he thought not enough. His likeable personality made him a popular figure and his fellow sheep farmers looked forward to his sense of fun and antics. He was by all accounts an excellent shot with both shotgun and rifle - winning prizes for both, including a clock from the Balquhidder rifle club and also medals for ploughing. His success always influenced and celebrated by a wee dram or two or three. On one occasion he told his terrified housekeeper that he was fed up of feeding her hens, so he sat outside the henhouse door and instructed her to throw them out one by one when he shouted ‘pull’. Bob was an accomplished fiddle player and it was once remarked at a recital he was better than the revered Scott Skinner, and together with his sister playing the piano, there was no way one could not learn to dance. Also a very keen curler, the ice was never broken until the brother curlers had a ‘sook’ from ‘Bob’ Fishers well-filled flask. When Roberts’ mother died in the 1930, he moved across from Balliemore to Edra Farm in the Trossachs, a sheep farm overlooking loch Katrine, and he lived there until his death on the 8th September 1955, aged 74. He was laid to rest in Balquidder Churchyard and his funeral was one of the biggest held in area for many years. --- When the First World War broke out in 1914, Robert joined the 1st Scottish Horse, a Yeomanry regiment of the British Army's Territorial Army, which was head quartered at Dunkeld, Perthshire. The Scottish Horse had been reconstituted as two regiments by the Duke of Atholl, both claiming descent from the original Scottish Horse, a British Army Regiment and a volunteer Regiment in the Transvaal Army, which had been disbanded after the Boer War. The regiments were trained and equipped as dragoons. Coming from Balquhidder, Robert was assigned to D Squadron, making it to the rank of Sergeant. Perhaps whisky fueled, Robert decided that it was a good idea to gallop into the town square of Crieff and demanded to take over the Drummond Arms Hotel in the name of his Colonel, the Duke of Atholl. It would also be the same Duke who would demote Robert in rank because he told the Duke ‘to go to hell’. Although the Territorial Army was intended to be a home defense force for service during wartime and members could not be compelled to serve outside the country, the outbreak of war soon had the 1st & 2nd Scottish Horse dispatched to fronts in France, Egypt and Turkey (Gallipoli) --- Robert was dispatched to France and was deployed until badly wounded at the battle of ‘High Wood’. Bois des Foureaux - ‘High Wood’ is not large, but was of tremendous strategic significance during the Battle of the Somme and was the last of the major woods in the Somme offensive of 1916 to be captured by the British. The British had first tried to take High Wood in July but it would not be until September that it would finally fall, with the aid of tanks, but at a huge cost of lives. Robert was incredibly lucky with his injuries - a bullet hitting his silver cigarette case in his breast pocket, deflected but ripping into his shoulder. He would return from the war and later joined the 6th/7th Battalion, Black Watch.

| 1147 | According to the Taylor family tree, Mary Ann married Charles Baxter and lived to 1900. Mary is found as a widow in 1891 in Chatham, Kent, Ontario, Canada, residing not far from her sister Sarah Bogart nee Taylor. No record of Charles Baxter has been found so it is presumed that he died prior to the commencement of civil death records in 1869. | Taylor, Mary Ann (I18820)

| 1149 | According to The Walker Family History, Alexander Stewart in Carnlia married Janet Stewart "of Lochearnside whose mother was a McLaren". Lochearnside is often used to refer to Port of Lochearn before it was called St. Fillans. Janet Stewart married on 8 Dec 1792 in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland, to her first-cousin-once-removed, Alexander Stewart in Carnlia. | Stewart, Janet (I16329)

| 1150 | According to The Walker Family History, Alexander Stewart was born at Carnlia about 1809 and married Margaret Dewar from Killin, she being born about 1820. According to descendant Donald Walker, Alexander had only one (surviving) child, Alexander Jr. Alexander Sr. would have been 47-years-old at the time of his marriage. This is late to start a family, which suggests the possibility that Alexander Sr. may have had a previous family. However, no record of any such family has been found and census records give no indication of any previous family, which confirms the family record that Alexander started his family very late and had only one child. In 1841, at age 25, Alexander Stewart was residing at Auchtowmore, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, in the home of his brother-in-law, Peter Stewart. He was working as an agricultural labourer. In 1851, at age 36, Alexander Stewart was residing at Auchtowmore, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, in the home of his brother-in-law, Peter Stewart. He was working as a farm servant and shepherd. On 1 Jul 1856, Alexander Stewart married in Killin, Perthshire, Scotland to Margaret Dewar. They had two children: a daughter Janet in 1857 who died a year later and a son Alexander who is described in his own entry. In 1861, at age 51, Alexander Stewart was residing at Carnlia in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland (incorrectly transcribed as "Castle" on Ancestry) with his wife, and 1-year-old son, Alexander. Alexander Sr. was employed as a shepherd. There is no indication of any earlier family living with Alexander. In 1871, at age 60, Alexander Stewart was residing at Auchtowmore in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland with his wife and son. He was employed as a shepherd. In 1881, at age 71, Alexander Stewart was residing at Craggan in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland with his wife and son. He is listed as having no occupation. In 1891, Alexander's widow, Margaret, was residing at Craggan in Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland, alone and recorded as "living on private means." | Stewart, Alexander in Cuilt (I14378)
