 #   Notes   Linked to 
1351 As befitting his name, James Law Steuart was a lawyer in New York, USA. He married his first cousin, Sarah Bartow Steuart. Steuart, James Law (I22301)
 
1352 As Daniel is substitute name for Donald then it may be that this Donald died young prior to the birth of his younger brother, Daniel. Stewart, Donald (I15685)
 
1353 As Duncan did not inherit the family property, it is presumed that he died young. Stewart, Duncan (I15753)
 
1354 As Elizabeth was married in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland, while her husband resided in Kincardine, Perthshire, Scotland, Elizabeth is presumed to have come from Comrie parish. It's certain that she was born there, though the Dewar surname was common in Comrie. As she does not appear in Scottish census records, and Canadian census records only record her place of birth as "Scotland" it is difficult to confirm her place of birth. No confirmed birth record has been found for her.

The only close birth is Elizabeth Dewar, bap 28 APR 1800 in Killin, Perth, Scotland, daughter of Alexander Dewar and Mary McDiarmid. 
Dewar, Elizabeth or Helen (I4875)
 
1355 As John's birth predates his parents' marriage by six years then he was either illegitimate or belongs to another couple of the same name. Stewart, John (I16974)
 
1356 As John's brother James is recorded in Stewarts of the South as the only surviving male then it is suggested that John died young. Stewart, John (I17006)
 
1357 As of Dec 2006 she is still alive at age 101. Howie, Katie (I7961)
 
1358 As per Gordon MacGregor, The Red Book of Scotland. See that work for details. VcEan, Agnes NicInnes oig VcInnes (I23818)
 
1359 As Robert is mentioned in SOS, then he must have been alive at the time of its writing, ca. 1815. Stuart, Robert 1st of Glenhead (I18746)
 
1360 As Robert is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South it is presumed that he died young. Stewart, Robert (I17997)
 
1361 As Robert's brother James is recorded in Stewarts of the South as the only surviving male then it is suggested that Robert died young. Stewart, Robert (I17994)
 
1362 As ruler of the Welsh kingdom of Gwynedd, Owain was ambitious, winning back most of Ceredigion from the Normans after defeating them at Cardigan in 1136. He was halted by King Henry II in 1157 and acknowledged English overlordship. He was described by Welsh bards as "in screaming battle, cool, yet burning war". Gruffydd, Owain ap (I7293)
 
1363 As this daughter is not named in the OPR, she is presumed to have died at birth. Galloch, Daughter (I6568)
 
1364 As this family is not found in the 1851 census it is presumed that they all died together or perhaps emigrated. Prangley, Jonah (I12851)
 
1365 As Walter's brother James is recorded in Stewarts of the South as the only surviving male then it is suggested that Walter died young.
It is worth noting the distinct gap in children following 1745. 
Stewart, Walter (I18364)
 
1366 As William appears not to have inherited either of the Portnellan farms then he presumably died young or emigrated. Stewart, William (I18451)
 
1367 As William's name is not preserved in family histories, it is presumed that he died as a child. Stewart, William (I18488)
 
1368 As with all of the Tasker children, Ester went by her middle name "Hilda". Hilda and Clair had no children. Tasker, Ester Hilda (I19075)
 
1369 Assuming this line has been correctly accounted, it would appear that Archibald Stewart was a descendant of the Stewarts of Grantully. (See notes on son Donald for more information.) Stewart, Archibald (I15345)
 
1370 At age 17, he won the Military Cross in France in WWI. Later he became head of the Antigua Sugar Estates Syndicate in the mid-20th Century. It was this Alexander against whom Sir Vera Bird (later prime minister of Antigua) led a general strike in 1951. Sir Alexander was the first person to propose black members to the Town Club in St Johns, Antigua, and his family was the first white family in Antigua to have a black family doctor (who went on to become Sir Luther Wynter). Moody-Stuart, Sir Alexander OBE 6th of Annat in Rait (I11427)
 
1371 At her second marriage in 1913 she is recorded as a widow. In LDS 1881 transcriptions she is mistranscribed as "Sholta Tasker". In 1911 she is residing as a widow with her son Joseph and his family. Dent, Charlotte (I4842)
 
1372 At his birth there is a note in the registration that says, "Neglect of ~~orcuts [? difficult to read]"

In 1921, Robert was residing in Duncan, Cowichan, Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada with his wife and two children. He was employed as a bookkeeper. He and his family were all Roman Catholic.

His death registration in Duncan, BC indicates that he was formerly of Campbell River. 
Tait, Robert Ord (I22740)
 
1373 At his peak William was Lord of Bramber, Gower, Abergavenny, Brecknock, Builth, Radnor, Kington, Limerick, Glamorgan, Monmouth and Gwynllwg as well as the three castles of Skenfrith, Grosmont and Whitecastle.

William inherited Bramber, Builth and Radnor from his father; Brecknock and Abergavenny through his mother. He was the strongest of the March Lords involved in constant war with the Welsh and other lords. He was particularly hated by the Welsh for the massacre of three Welsh princes, their families and their men which took place during a feast at his castle of Abergavenny in 1175. He was sometimes known as the "Ogre of Abergavenny". One of the Normans' foremost warriors, he fought alongside King Richard the Lionheart at Chalus in 1199 when King Richard received his fatal wound.

William received Limerick in 1201 from King John. He was also given custody of Glamorgan, Monmouth and Gwynllwg in return for large payments.

William captured Arthur, Count of Brittany at Mirebeau in 1202 and was in charge of his imprisonment for King John. He was well rewarded in February 1203 with the grant of Gower. He may have had knowledge of the murder of Arthur and been bribed to silence by John with the city of Limerick in July. His honours reached their peak when he was made Sheriff of Herefordshire by John for 1206-7. He had held this office under Richard from 1192 to 1199.

His fall began almost immediately. William was stripped of his office as bailiff of Glamorgan and other custodies by King John in 1206/7. Later he was deprived of all his lands and, sought by King John in Ireland, he returned to Wales and joined the Welsh Prince Llewelyn in rebellion. He fled to France in 1210 via Shoreham "in the habit of a beggar" and died in exile near Paris. Despite intending to be interred at St. John's, Brecon, he was buried in the Abbey of St. Victoire, Paris by Stephen Langton, the Archbishop of Canterbury, another of John's chief opponents who was also taking refuge there. His wife and son William were murdered by John, possibly starved to death at Windsor Castle. 
de Braose, Baron William (I4084)
 
1374 at Killiecrankie House Stewart, Charlotte Fanning (I15426)
 
1375 At least one of the male descendants of this branch were known as "Drummond alias Galloch". In fact the descendants of Duncan's son Donald Drummond-alias-Galloch, who remained on the farm, and are presumed to be the senior surviving domestic branch, went solely by the surname of Drummond hereafter. It seems highly plausible that the family surname is, in fact, Drummond and that Galloch is simply a nickname-cum-surname. Galloch, Duncan (I6570)
 
1376 At Peterborough Regional Health Centre, Peterborough, on Friday, September 25, 2009. Pearl Poff, age 85, was the beloved wife of the late George (Doug) Poff (2001). Loving mother of Heather Sararas and her husband Royce, and Greg Poff and his wife Lynne all of Bancroft. Loved grandmother of Krystal (Derek), Kimberly (Matt), Brooke, Brittany and Meghan. Great-grandmother of Jordan, Royce and Alexys. Pearl’s family will receive relatives and friends at the M.G. Daly Funeral Home (200 Old Hastings Rd., Maynooth) on Monday 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. A Funeral Service will take place at the funeral home on Tuesday, September 29, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. Interment St. John’s Anglican Cemetery, Bancroft. Brown, Pearl Valery (I21193)
 
1377 at the British Embassy Family F1916
 
1378 At the time of her birth, Dorothy's father, William Angus, was working as a grocer's assistant and residing at 4 Mill Street in Lancaster, Lancashire, England.

Dorothy has not been found in the 1901 census. Only her father is listed.

Dorothy is not shown with her mother and her mother's new husband in the 1911 census. Only her sister Margaret is shown.

Dorothy Angus married her first-cousin, Herbert Angus, son of her uncle John Angus. 
Angus, Dorothy (I23361)
 
1379 At the time of her marriage to Alexander Stewart, Annie was employed as a nurse. Stewart, Annie C (I15130)
 
1380 At the time of his daughter Jemima's wedding in 1844, William Jones was a collier in Mold. His birth year given here is merely a guess. Williams, William (I20193)
 
1381 At the time of his daughter Mary's birth, Murdoch was a Private in the 79th Regiment of Foot.. Ferguson, Murdoch (I5963)
 
1382 At the time of their marriage, John was recorded as residing at 86 Queens Road, Packham, London, Middlesex, England, working as a chemist. Brown, John (I1837)
 
1383 At their marriage, John Stewart is described being from Kilmadock parish and Sara Ferguson from Callander parish. John's death is recorded in Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions in Callander Cemeter adjacent to his Brackland cousins: "194 John STEWART, late tenant (at) Wester Torrie, died MAR 1808, age 63, son John 25 JAN 1867, age 78 (and his wife Janet BUCHANAN 24 FEB 1875, age 64, and their son John 11 DEC 1848, age 6 years) JS 1821 SF." The initials "JS & SF" would refer to John Stewart and Sara Ferguson. The rest of this family has not been found in later records. They may have emigrated. Stewart, John in Wester Torry (I17224)
 
1384 At this point the Drummond ancestry begins to move from history to legend. Maurice is said to have accompanied Margaret (future Queen of Wessex) from Hungary. He is reputed to be the grandson of Andreas, King of Hungary, and a descendant of Atilla the Hun. Drummond, Maurice 1st of Drummond Castle (I8021)
 
1385 At this point, I have not bothered to follow the Irish King Lists in detail any further back that Conn of the Hundred Battles for a number of reasons. Firstly, these genealogies are legendary and are of questionable accuracy. Secondly, my software will not recognize dates earlier than 100 AD, and thirdly, it's just too much work at this point to enter all the details. So, for now, I will simply include the names of these early kings and their legendary ancestors. Rachtmar, Fedhlimidh (I13303)
 
1386 Augustine Brown 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, Augustine (I22060)
 
1387 Aunt Rose was a kind and gentle woman. She had a bird named "Ricky" who could talk. She lived most of her life as a widow in Hamilton, having outlived her husband by 58 years. Allen, Rose (I281)
 
1388 Aunt Stella was described as an "oddball". She didn't believe in banks, and didn't trust them, so she apparently kept all her money on her person at all times. Winters, Stella (I20271)
 
1389 Australian Electoral Commission. [Electoral roll]Source (S1088)
 
1390 Automobile accident just east of Snoqualmie Pass (24.1 miles w. of Cle Elum). Cadman, Alta Eleanor (I2108)
 
1391 Avelina was abducted by Duncan MacGilberta, Earl of Angus, and forced to marry him. Her surname would not actually be "Stewart". She would have had no surname and would have been styled as the daughter of Alan, Steward of the King of Scots. Stewart is used here only to indicate her relationship to the family later known as Stewart. Stewart, Avelina (I15305)
 
1392 Avero Publications. Biography Database, 1680-1830. Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England: Avero Publications, 1998. Source (S917)
 
1393 Ayres graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York State in 1818. Merrill, Ayres P. (I11295)
 
1394 Balquhidder OPR gives probable birth entry for Robert:
Alexander (or John) Steuart in Dalveich had a child baptized and called Robert. (Date given is Nobr 1697, but no day.) We have two conflicting transcriptions of this entry, however a review would favour that Alexander is the correct reading.

Robert is shown in the Comrie OPR as living in Ardveich when his son John was born.

Family tradition in the branch of his Canadian great-grandchild, Duncan Stewart, recalls that Robert was killed at the Battle of Culloden. Such a claim is supported by the fact that Robert and Mary appear to have stopped having children after 1744.

If Robert died at Culloden and left his widow with a houseful of young children, then she likely would have either remarried or been taken in by a close relative. Further research is needed to see if a second family can be identified for her. 
Stewart, Robert in Ardveich (I18065)
 
1395 Balquhidder Parish: 1845 March 1 Contracted John McGregor Parish of St. ~ and Margaret Stewart in this Parish. 10p

In 1851, John and Margaret were residing at East Muir Cottage, Landrick, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, with their two youngest daughters and John's mother, Isabella McGregor. Eldest daughter, Mary, has not been found in 1851, but did accompany the family to Australia in 1852. 
Stewart, Margaret (I17416)
 
1396 Balquhidder Parish: 1845 March 1 Contracted John McGregor Parish of St. ~ and Margaret Stewart in this Parish. 10p

In 1851, John McGregor was residing at East Muir Cottage, Landrick, Kilmadock, Perthshire, Scotland, with his wife and children. Also residing with them was his mother (72) who was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

No birth for anyone named John of any surname with a mother named Isabella has been found in Balquhidder 1800-1812.

A search of neighbouring Comrie parish reveals only one John with a mother named Isabella. That being John Stalker, born 1 Jun 1800 in Comrie, son of Donald Stalker and Isabel Ferguson. Stalker is not a known McGregor alias. 
McGregor, John (I21102)
 
1397 Baltimore Sun, Saturday, November 5, 1887: "STEUART. At Mount Washington, on Friday, 4th November, of pneumonia, ANN HALL, wife of Dr. William Frederick Steuart, and daughter of the late Henry Augustus Hall, of West River, Anne Arundel county, Md." Hall, Anne (I22326)
