| 1301 | Annie was still unmarried at the time of writing of Stewarts of the South (abt. 1815) and is presumed to have never married. | Stewart, Annie (I15129)
|
| 1302 | Annie's gravestone records her as Annie Bell, not Annie Dent. Is Dent an error? Or was she previously married to a Bell? | Dent, Annie Jane Bell (I4830)
|
| 1303 | Annie's mother died in 1900 when Annie was only 4 years old. Her father remarried only thirteen months later. In 1908 her father violently killed himself in the home after attempting to murder his second wife. Annie would have been 12 when she was orphaned. Annie immigrated to the USA on 17 May 1920, arriving in New York City. She married two years later to Albert Hull. They had several children, only one of which is shown here. | Young, Annie Brown (I21157)
|
| 1304 | Anthony served as a Colonel in the Bengal Staff Corps and Cantonment Magistrate, Jullundur. In 1881 Anthony's wife and children were residing in Preston, Sussex, England. Anthony was absent at the time of the census. He married at Lahore, Bengal, on 7 May 1857, to Charlotte Pretyman, daughter of Cuthbert Barlow. He died on 13 Dec 1886. She died on 25 May 1882. | Stewart, Col. Anthony (I15119)
|
| 1305 | Anthony Stewart is mentioned in Stewarts of the South, as follows: "William Stewart Esqur the presant proprietor four sons 1 Robert 2 John 3 Willm 4 Anthony." Anthony was a medical student in Edinburgh and died at age 20. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) | Stewart, Anthony (I15118)
|
| 1306 | Anthony was Captain of the 6th Company of Philadelphia and while Lieutenant he was present at the battle of Princeton. In 1850 Anthony's widow is shown as a "Gentlewoman" with an estate valued at $250,000. | Cuthbert, Capt. Anthony (I3294)
|
| 1307 | Anthony was residing in 1841 in Black Torrington, Devon which is only 3 km south of Buckland Filleigh. The 1851 New Brunswick census gives his age as 40 (sic, s/b 50). His wife's immigration date is identical to his own, Oct 1841, thus they were likely married in England before immigrating. As Anthony was single when the census was taken in April 1841, this would make their marriage date between April - October 1841. No IGI record of such a marriage has been found, so it's also entirely possible they were married on the boat. | Bridgman, Anthony (I1380)
|
| 1308 | Aodh Olann = "Hugh Allan". He is recorded as the ancestor of the O'Brians of Ulster. | O'Neill, Aodh Olann (I11897)

| 1309 | April 17, 2016 A Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to the U. S. A. By Donald Whyte STEWART, Alexander, 1827-1874. From Perthshire. Son of John S. (q.v.) and Jane McLean (q.v.) To New York, 1833, later to Puslinch Township, Wellington, County, Ontario. Farmer. New church Methodist. M. Jean McCaig, from Cape Breton, with issue: (1) Mary; (2) John; (3) Donald; (4) Alexander; (5) Hector. (D.C. 23 Apr. 1967) Harold Stewart indicates Peter's birthplace was Meikle Logie, Perthshire Scotland, and can confirm that Peter was actually born Peter Steele to John Steele and Jean Maclean. Apparently, the Stewart name was adopted after they came to North America. A family dispute of of some sort had them adopting the surname Steele instead of Stewart for an extended period of time in Scotland. OPR records in Little Dunkeld confirm this family. Alexander was born Alexander Steele to parents John Steele and Jane McLean. | Stewart, Alexander Steele (I14783)
|
| 1310 | Arabella is found in 1851 in Edinburgh, residing with her parents and her eldest two sisters, Anne and Jessie. "Cragie and Stewart -- August 15, at Drummond Place, Edinburgh, by the Rev. Charles C. Stewart, Wm. Burnet Cragie, Lieut. Bengal Cavalary, second son of the late Wm. Burnet Cragie, Esq., of Lainton, Aberdeenshire, to Arabella Elizabeth Smythe, third daughter of Major General Robert Stewart, Bengal Infantry." -- Belfast Newsletter, 23 Aug 1867 | Stewart, Arabella Elizabeth Smythe (I15120)
|
| 1311 | Archibald & Sarah, with many of their children immigrated to New Zealand about 1863. | Stewart, Sarah (I25457)
|
| 1312 | Archibald and his family have not been found in the 1841 census. Given the fact that there are only four children recorded, it seems likely that they emigrated. | McIntyre, Archibald (I10093)
|
| 1313 | Archibald apprenticed in 1715 to David Symmers/Summers, peutherer in Edinburgh. (Gordon MacGregor, author of The Red Book of Scotland, personal correspondence). It is not known if Archibald married or had children. | Stewart, Archibald (I15331)
|
| 1314 | Archibald has not been found in any census records. Given that his birth is geographically distant from the rest of his siblings, it's possible that he may not belong to this family. | Stewart, Archibald (I15343)
|
| 1315 | Archibald immigrated abt 1854 to Aberfoyle, Puslinch, Wellington County, Ontario Canada. In 1871, Archibald was residing in Puslinch, Wellington, Ontario, Canada, with his wife and three children. He was sharing lot 9-17 with his brother Duncan Stewart as joint freeholders. In 1881, Arcihibald was residing in Saugeen, Bruce, Ontario, Canada, with his wife and children. | Stewart, Archibald (I15338)
|
| 1316 | Archibald is described in Stewarts of the South as: "Archibald, who is a cow feeder in Glasgow. He has three sons who are all minors." The following family is an exact match Archibald Stewart and Anna Bennet (no marriage has been found) 1. Anna F 24/1/1806 daughter of Archd Stewart and Anna Bennet at Auchyle born 24 Jan bapt 27 Jan 1806 2. Mary F 8/1/1808 daughter of Archd.

|
| 1318 | Archibald is named in the family bible and thus survived to adulthood, but nothing is known about his adult life. However, he is presumed to have died during the lifetime of his father, otherwise he would would have preceeded his younger brother, Donald, in inheriting the estate of Lendrick. 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, Archibald (I15335)
|
| 1319 | Archibald is not found with his parents in 1841, however he is found in 1851 residing at Glenogle with his widowed mother and brothers James and Donald. Archibald is not found in 1861 or 1871. He may have died or emigrated. | Stewart, Archibald (I15349)
|
| 1320 | Archibald is not mentioned in Stirnet or The Scottish Journal and may be identical with John. | Stewart, Archibald (I15314)
|
| 1321 | Archibald is shown in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856): as being a petitioner and the son of Daniel Stewart of Lendrick. According to Buchanan of Trean records Archibald married Elisabeth Buchanan. | Stewart, Archibald 4th of Lendrick (I15336)
|
| 1322 | Archibald is the only son recorded as born to Donald McDondald and Margaret McArthur. Archibald purchased Monachyle sometime in the late 18th century. On his death, Monachyle passed to his son Donald. | McDonald, Archibald of Monachyle (I9880)
|
| 1323 | Archibald is the patriarch of Line 4 of Branch VIII of the Stewarts of Annat in Stewarts of the South. Archibald is mentioned in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions, buried in Kilmahog: "28 emblems of mortality. 1803. Archibald STEWART, MAY 1791, wife Mary MCFARLAND, 24 MAY 1796, by son Daniel in ---- (illegible)." Archibald is shown as the son of John Stewart in Lendrick in most of the family trees submitted in evidence in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856). His status as eldest or second son is contested in the trial. (See the notes on his brother, Hugh Stewart, 2nd of Ballacaish, for more information.) Archibald is mentioned by the testimony of Robert Stewart in Buchany in 1852: "[Robert] eclares that he knew Janet Stewart a granddaughter of this John and a daughter of Hugh and he remembers her being a servant to Mr Jaffray at Glassingall, and that she was said to be a cousin (natural) to the Laird of Glassingall that the said John Stewart left his said son Hugh Stewart in the farm of Ballacaush aforesaid, and went to the farm of Lendrick with Archibald another son, whose descendents are still there. That the said John Stewart was married to Isobel Macfarlane a daughter of Hugh Macfarlane of Calliechra at Loch Katrine in the Parish of Callander." 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 sentence is incomplete and the year is not given.]" It is worth noting that, according to this account, Archibald's first son, John (confirmed by OPR) was born before his parents were married and is not mentioned at all in the family bible and is thus presumed to have died in childhood. Children Alexander, Mary, and Duncan are also not mentioned and are also presumed to have died young. As the OPR indicates 8 children were baptised and only 4 are mentioned in the family bible, this suggests the family experienced an infant mortality rate of 50%! A sad reflection on the difficulty of life in that era. | Stewart, Archibald 2nd of Lendrick (I15324)
|
| 1324 | Archibald resided firstly in Coronach, which as not been identified but is believed to be on easter Loch Venacher or in Lower Strathyre. He resided secondly at Ardchularie in Lower Strathyre. Archibald's family is described in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856): in the testimony given by Duncan Stewart in Auchanahard and Upper Duart, son of John Ban Mor Stewart in Auchnahard of the Bains of Glenfingas: "In the presence of John Buchanan one of the Justices of the Peace for Perth compeared Duncan Stewart tenant in Auchnahard Glenfinglas in the Parish of Callander who solemnly declares that he us in the 96th year of age and from his earliest years he has been intimately acquainted with the family of the Stewarts of Lendrick he being related to them. Declares that he remembers distinctly of Archibald Stewart tenants in Lendrick who was the grandfather of Archibald Stewart the present tenants in that farm and he knows that Archibald Stewart first mentioned had a daughter named Isabella who married Dugald McLaren tenant in Cairnich and of this marriage there was [vizt] Archibald McLaren tenant sometimes in Cairnich afterwards in Stank and latterly in Ardchullerie and Margaret married to the deceased Andrew Robertson, merchant in Stirling who still resides there. That Archibald McLaren left a family of whom there still survives Dugald tenant in Easter Dullator, James presently in Australia, Robert tenants in Ardshullerie, Mary and Margaret residing there and Janet residing in Stirling. That he knows that Archibald Stewart in Lendrick first before mentioned was full cousin to Archibald Stewart of Glassingall their father’s having been full brothers and all this he declares to be the truth. Declares further that he knew Hugh Stewart the brother of Archibald first before mentioned who was married to the Declarants Aunt that he always understood and firmly believes that the said Hugh was younger than Archibald aforesaid and this he also declares to be the truth." | McLaren, Archibald in Stank and Ardchullarie (I10396)
|
| 1325 | Archibald Stewart, fiar of Garchell, who died without children during the lifetime of his father before May of 1589. Archibald Stewart "fear (fewer) of Garthell (Garchell), parish of Drymen, sher. of Stirling" whose testament was dated 20 MAY 1589. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) | Stewart, Archibald in Garchell (I15317)
|
| 1326 | Archibald succeeded his father in the estate of Glassingall. He never married and had no children. He was succeeded in the estate by his nephew, Alexander Jaffrey. According to Ailsa Gray of Glassingall (2022), Archibald, like his father, became a maltman in Stirling and was still working as one around 1756. There's a reference in the guildry books to him paying some stipend due to Stewart of Annat and that stipend remained outstanding. He was an ardent Jacobite and was defence witness at the trial of James Stewart of The Glen accused in the Appin Murder (though he never testafied). No will or death certificate has been located for him. Archibald is recorded in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856) as "Archibald Stewart, an only son, took up the succession of these properties as heir to his father. He destined the estates to his nephew, Alexander Jaffery, only son of his sister, Janet Stewart, He died unmarried." Archibald's death without any children started a chain of events that would eventually lead to an ultimus haeres court hearing nearly 75 years later over the legitimacy of the inheritance of Glassingall by Thomas and Alexander Smith, because "Alexander Jaffrey...disregarded the destination clause in the disposition dated 1777 given by the uncle Archibald Stewart." The preceding reference would suggest that Archibald Stewart died sometime around 1777. | Stewart, Archibald 2nd of Glasingall (I15315)
|
| 1327 | Archibald was a cooper/joiner/carpenter. | Lauder, Archibald Wilson (I25458)
|
| 1328 | Archibald was a natural son by an unknown mother. He had 13 siblings of mixed natural and lawful births who are not recorded here as they are beyond the scope of this Stewart research project. Archibald's birth is not recorded in the Aberfoyle OPR as there was a “gap in records [1750-1755] due to lack of duty by Session Clerk," according to a note in the parish register. Graham of Nether Glenny research was submitted by Belinda Dettman. | Graham, Archibald in Nether Glenny (I7070)
|
| 1329 | Archibald was a wright is Glasgow. | Houston, Archibald (I7992)
|
| 1330 | Archibald was also Duke of Touraine. | Douglas, Archibald 4th Earl of Douglas (I5164)
|
| 1331 | Archibald's baptism indicates that his father, James, was a farmer in Godmanchester. In 1881 he is found residing in Harriston, Minto Township, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada with his wife and two children. He is shown as a photographer. In 1892 at the birth of his daughter Vera his occupation is given as "grocer." Archibald was also the town clerk at the time and registered his own daughter's birth. The 1911 census shows Archibald's occupation as "town clerk." | Stewart, Archibald James (I15325)
|
| 1332 | Archibald's baptism was witnessed by John Forbes at Ballacaish and Mr Murray at Kilmadock. Archibald is described in Stewarts of the South as a minor son. Archibald is found in 1861 residing at "Colvoy" in Kilmadock with his sister Christian and a 1 year old nephew Peter. | Stewart, Archibald (I15347)
|
| 1333 | Archibald's birth is recorded in the Kincardine-by-Doune parish register as: "1809 Augt 6th, Archd, son to Duncan Stewart and Ann McGrigor, Kirklane. In 1814, at 3 years old, Archibald is listed as being with his parents in Kirkline on Blair Drummond Moss at the time of the 1814 Moss census. Archibald would have been about 10 years old when his family immigrated to Quebec, Canada. In 1818, Archibald's family left Scotland and immigrated to St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Canada. In 1825, Archibald'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 1838 Muster Rolls for Capt. Patrick Buchanan’s Company, includes: Corporal Alexander Stewart, Pvt John Ferguson, Pvt Archibald Stewart, Pvt James Stewart, Pvt Peter Stewart. Capt. RB Somerville’s Company includes Pvt John Stewart. And the Dundee Local Militia 1838 paylist: Corp. Alexander Stewart, Corp. John Ferguson. In 1851, at age 37, Archibald Stewart was residing in St. Anicet, Huntingdon, Quebec, Scotland, next to his brother John and his inlaws John McMillan and Hugh Maclean. He was working as a labourer and was unmarried. Archibald has not been found in 1861 or later census records. No burial record has been found for him. He is presumed to have either moved away or died before 1861. Several of his siblings named sons after him. | Stewart, Pvt. Archibald (I15340)
|
| 1334 | Archibald's mother's name is given as "Janet Duncan" on his baptism. Archibald is described in Stewarts of the South as being a wright in Stirling with several sons. | Stewart, Archibald (I15337)
|
| 1335 | Archibald's name is not known for certain. The OPR baptismal entry is blank or difficult to read. Onomastics would suggest that his name is Archibald. According to Stewarts of the South and Mrs Stewart of Milton's Account, Archibald's father, James Stewart in Invercarnaig, had only one son who survived to adulthood and that was Alastair Mor. Thus Archibald must have died in childhood. Archibald is also not mentioned in the Glassingall Court of Session Papers (1849-1856):, substantiating that he died young. | Stewart, Archibald (I15334)
|
| 1336 | Archibald's parents are unknown. He was the first of the family to be recorded as being in Acharn. It's not known if he was the 1st of Acharn, or merely the first recorded in Acharn. If he was 1st of Acharn then, as the earliest known cadet branch of the MacNab clan, he was likely a younger son to one of the chiefs. It would be pure speculation to guess at which chief he might be son of, if at all. | MacNab, Archibald 1st of MacNab (first family) (I24902)
|
| 1337 | Archie was murdered on the 12th Oct 1924 and the people responsible were never found. | Stuart, Archibald (I25110)

| 1342 | Arthur Angus was born in 1879 in Halton, Lancashire, England. In 1881, at age 1, Arthur Angus was residing at 49 Bridge Lane in Castle Ward, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, with his parents and siblings. In 1891, at age 11, just a few months after his conviction, he was residing at 194 New Street in Halton, Lancashire, England, with his parents and siblings. On 17 Feb 1900, at age 20, Arthur Angus, a warehouseman, son of the late William Angus, a former marble hand, married in the parish church at Halton, Lancashire, England to 18-year-old Mary Collinson Taylor, daughter of William Taylor, a labourer. In 1901, at age 21, Arthur Angus was residing at 99 High Street in Halton, Lancashire, England with his wife and infant son, Thomas. Arthur was employed as a warehouseman in an oilcloth works. Arthur's brother, John Angus, and his family lived next door. In 1908, at age 28, Arthur Angus enlisted in the British Army where he served in the Royal Field Artillery. He was residing at 2 Church Street in Halton, Lancashire, England and employed as a labourer at Messers Kelme and Co., Halton, Lancashire, England. In 1911, at age 31, Arthur Angus was residing at Church Street, Caton. Halton, Lancashire, England with his wife and children. He was employed as an oilcloth trimmer. In 1912, Arthur Angus, along with his wife and children, immigrated from Lancashire, England to Quebec, Canada, bound for Michigan, USA. They were travelling with Arthur's brother, William Angus, and his family. In 1917, Arthur Angus was drafted into service in the American military for WWI. At the time he was residing in Flint, Genesee, Michigan, USA, and was employed as a special police constable for the Buick Motor Company on Stewart Ave in Flint, Genesee, Michigan, USA. In 1920, at age 40, Arthur Angus was residing in Burton, Genesee, Michigan, USA, with his wife and children. He was farming a rented farm. In 1930, at age 49, Arthur Angus was residing at Stewart Road in Forest, Genesee, Michigan, USA, with his wife and their two youngest children. Arthur was employed as a weight operator in an auto factory. Presumably farming didn't work out for him. In 1940, at age 57, Arthur Angus was residing at Huggins Street in Genesee, Michigan, USA, with his wife and daughter Florence. He was employed as a driver in an auto factory. His son, Horace, was residing next door. In 1850, at age 71, Arthur Angus was residing in Genesee, Michigan, USA, with his wife and eldest son, Thomas. Arthur was retired. His parents' birth location was given incorrectly as Scotland. No record has been found of Arthur's death. | Angus, Arthur (I465)
|
| 1343 | Arthur Hiles was born just two weeks prior to his mother's death. His mother's dying wish was that her friend Mary Ann Doane (nee Schwoob), wife of John Harris Doane, would raise her son. Thus Arthur was adopted by the Doane family and took the name John Wesley Arthur Doane. | Doane, John Wesley Arthur Hiles Or (I4937)
|
| 1344 | Arthur is shown in the 1880 census in Rensselaer, New York, USA as being 29 years old. His occupation is shown as "insurance agent" and his first son, Arthur, is shown as being born in Canada. The younger Arthur's birth registration in St. Catharine's, Ontario, Canada shows his father as an insurance agent. In 1880 Arthur Sr is residing nearby to John Wright Prangley from Branch 3. Arthur's wife is shown as widowed in 1900 in Washington, DC, USA with their son Osborn W. Prangley (transcribed as "Bangley"). According to this same entry, they immigrated (presumably from Canada) in 1872. Arthur's birth has not been identified and he has not been found in any English census. (The family of John Wright Prangley has not been found in 1861 in England either.) Onomastics and geography would suggest strongly that Arthur belongs to the same extended family as John Wright Prangley, although they cannot be brothers. | Prangley, Arthur (I12451)
|
| 1345 | Arthur's gravestone lists him as "Dr. J. Arthur Stewart". | Stewart, Dr. James Arthur (I16649)

| 1346 | Arza was married firstly to Marilda McCallum, by whom he had one daughter, secondly to his first cousin Marilda Merritt, by whom he had three children, and thirdly to his distant cousin, Mary Jane Bridgman. It is a strange concidence that his first two wives had the same first name and his mother and sister's names are only one letter different. O----?, Anson?

| 1347 | As a boy, William attended Guildford Royal Grammar School in Guildford, Surrey, England. He entered the army and served during WWI as a Major in the 2nd Battalion, Cameron Highlanders and was awarded the Companion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George and the Distinguished Service Order. He afterwards retired to Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, England where he was County Librarian and a member of Somerset Council. (Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland) William married to his first cousin, once removed, Frances Alice Debnam Collis. | Stewart, Lieut. Col. William Murray (I18761)
|
| 1348 | As a child George sat next to Robert Louis Stevenson in class at the Edinburgh Academy (they were seated alphabetically). As an adult, George would read bedtime stories to his grandchildren from his "friend Louis". George was a partner in the trading firm of Henckell DuBuisson which provided supplies to estates throughout the West Indies. He acquired estates in Antigua which his son Alexander went to run in the 1920s. He was made a Commander of the British Empire for his role in founding the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture (ICTA) in Trinidad in the 1920s. His son Alexander was the first student at ICTA. The George Moody-Stuart school in St Kitts is named after George. | Moody-Stuart, George MBE (I11405)
|
| 1349 | As a child Robert worked as a bottler. (1881 Census) In 1891 Robert was living with his second wife, Margaret Hunter, however his son, Abraham, from his first marriage, was living with his maternal grandmother. The family came to Canada in order to bring son Bill to Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children in order to be treated for polio. Robert was buried from the Wallace Funeral Home in Hamilton. His last known residence was 181 Balmoral Ave South, Hamilton, Ontario. Robert and Margaret lived on Wilson Street in Hamilton. Whether the street name had anything to do with a member of Robert's mother's family or is pure coincidence is not known. | Duncan, Robert Wilson (I5395)
|
| 1350 | As a young boy James was sent to France for safe keeping by his father, King Robert III. Regretably, King Henry IV of England got word and James' transport was intercepted. James was captured and held prisoner by the English. James succeeded his father as King of Scotland in 1406 while he was being held prisoner in England. In his absence his cousin Murdac Stewart, Duke of Albany ruled Scotland. When James was released from captivity he returned to Scotland and had Murdac Stewart executed along with all of his sons in order to remove any potential rivals to the throne. However the soldiers were not wholey successful and Murdac's youngest son, James Mohr Stewart, escaped. [See notes on James Mohr Stewart for further details.] King James I was assassinated by his uncle, Walter, Earl of Atholl, Sir Robert Graham, and other conspirators. | Stewart, James King James I of Scots (I16554)
