|
| 1403 | Alexander was a legal advocate in Edinburgh. No convincing match for this family can be found in any census records. | Stewart, Alexander (I14471)
|
| 1404 | Alexander was a natural son. His actual birth mother is unknown. Alexander murdered John Gyloch Drummond, 1st Of Lennoch, which provoked terrible and bloody feud between the two families. The feud culminated in the battle of Monzievaird in 1488 where several Murrays were burned alive as the Drummonds set torch to the Monzievaird church where the Murrays were hiding. One Murray was aided in escaping by the assitance of one of the Drummonds. That story continues with the family of Drummonderinoch. | Moray, Alexander (I11130)
|
| 1405 | Alexander was deceased at the time that his father's will was drafted in 1851. He is not found with his parents in 1841 and is presumed to have died prior to 1841. | McLaren, Alexander (I24745)
|
| 1406 | Alexander was likely still a minor when his father died. According to Gordon MacGregor in The Red Book of Scotland, Alexander was retoured heir to his father in the lands of Grantully and Banochy on 13 May 1462, presumabley when he came of age. He married four years later. "He m. by 16 May 1466, to Matilda, daughter of Sir James Stewart, son of Murdoch Stewart, 2nd Duke of Albany, when they had a charter of confirmation, on his own resignation, for the lands of Kiltuly and Aberfeldy, and whose liferent was confirmed to her in their son, John’s charter for the lands of Aberfeldy &c., dated 5 July 1470." (Gordon MacGregor, Red Book of Scotland) | Stewart, Alexander 3rd of Grandtully (I14635)
|
| 1407 | Alexander was murdered by Green Colin Campbell of Dunstaffnage. | Stewart, Alexander 1st of Invernahyle (I14643)
|
| 1408 | Alexander was named with his father in a Bond of Caution dated 13 September, 1621. Alexander allegedly died in 1692 although such a date is chronologically challenging. Some sources claim that Alexander was the father of Duncan Stewart and Alexander Stewart in Kilmadock -- two brothers born in the early 1600s who were soldiers captured at the Battle of Dunbar and sent to America as indentured servants, where Duncan later married Ann Winchurst and had a family in Massachusettes. Contemporary Appin researchers dispute that Duncan was the son of Alexander Stewart of Invernahyle and we are not aware of any research that confirms that Alexander was his brother. Current research on both of these men shows their origins as no more specific than somewhere in Scotland with unknown parents. To avoid perpetuating possible spurious research, these two brothers have been removed from the database. https://spows.org/battle-of-dunbar/battle-of-dunbar-prisoners-of-war/battle-of-dunbar-prisoner-profiles/duncan-stewart/#:~:text=Duncan%20Stewart%20is%20believed%20to,indentured%20for%20about%20seven%20years. | Stewart, Alexander 4th of Invernahyle (I14612)
|
| 1409 | Alexander was predecessor of the Stewarts of Coll. He had five sons. Duncan Stewart (1739) says, "Duncan of Ardsheal married first a daughter of John Stewart, brother to Innerhaden, and secondly, a daughter to Maclean of Ardgowan. He had six sons and several daughters, viz 1 John, his son and heir, 2 Alexander, killed in the attack made at the church of Dunkeld, soon after King James, in 1689, who had five sons, the eldest John of Aucharn was father to Alexander now of Aucharn, and to John Stewart, now of Ledcreich, 3 A[illegible, could be Andrew], 4 William, 5 James, and 6 Duncan, killed at Dunkeld, with his brother Alexander." | Stewart, Alexander 1st of Acharn in Kenmore (I14389)
|
| 1410 | Alexander was the Minister of the parish of Cromarty in Ross and Cromarty, Scotland. Alexander never married nor had children. The Fasti Ecclesia describes Alexander as: "Alexander Stewart, born Moulin, Perthshire, 25th Sept. 1794, son of Alexander Stewart, minister of Canongate, Edinburgh; educated at King's College, Aberdeen, and University of Glasgow; licensed by the Presbytery of Lorn in 1822; ordained to Chapel-of-Ease, Rothesay, 10th Feb. 1824; presented by George IV in June, trans. and admitted 23rd Sept 1824. Joined the Free Church in 1843; minister of Free Church, Cromarty, 1843-7; elected to Free St. George's Edinburgh (as successor to Dr. Candlish), but died before induction, 5th Nov. 1847, of a fever brought on by the excitement of his impending removal. He was reckoned one of the most eminent preachers of the Church. Hugh Miller wrote warmly of his extraordinary gifts in that capacity." | Stewart, Rev. Alexander Minister at Cromarty (I14777)
|
| 1411 | Alexander was the only recorded son of General Patrick Stewart, 3rd of Ledcreich. Alexander is estimated to have been born about 1676, presumably in Ledcreich, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland. Alexander was born prior to the commencement of the Balquhidder parish register, so no record of his baptism exists. No record of his death has been found either, but his son, Patrick inherited Ledcreich on 8 Jan 1731, thus Alexander would presumably have died shortly before that date. The Birth of the Jacobites We don't know a lot about Alexander's life, but we can surmise much from his context. Alexander was alive during the 1688 so-called "Glorious Revolution" in which the Scottish King James VII (and II of England) was deposed and replaced by his Protestant daughter Mary II and her Dutch husband William III, ruling as joint monarchs. Alexander's father likely fought in the Glorious Revolution and witnessed his king flee into exile. It would have been crushing to one who had committed so much to what felt like a losing cause. Alexander, though too young to have been involved, would have been raised on the stories of his father's gallant loyalty to their royal kin. Alexander would have been entering adulthood during the years of King James' exile and would have felt the sting of James' death in France. Alexander was surrounded by Jacobite loyalists. While we have no record of Alexander having served in the military, he was almost certainly aware of the plans swirling around him to try to install the late king's son, Prince James Francis Edward Stuart, as King James VIII/III of Scotland and England. Given the rest of the clan's loyalty and involvement, it's very likely that Alexander was involved in some way in the 1715 Jacobite Rising and he would have felt the sting of the Rising's failure. Was Alexander himself a Jacobite? We don't know for sure, but given the loyalties of those around him, almost certainly yes. Stewart Clan Magazine, says: [Alexander's] property had been diminished by reason of his father's support of Kings Charles I, Charles II and James II, and perhaps his own activities in 1715 on behalf of the Chevalier St. George (Prince James Francis Edward Stuart). (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome C p.115-116, April 1935, vol. xii, no. 10) Alexander's Family History In 1763, Alexander's eldest son, Patrick dictated a detailed family history in which Patrick says the following about Alexander: “2nd. Alexander Stewart, of Ledcreich, was only son to Patrick* Stewart, of Ledcreich, who suffered much in the reign of the two Kings Charles and King James the Seventh, and to Margaret his wife, daughter to Robert B., of Drumlain, cousin-german to the Laird of Lenny.” The April 1935 issue of Stewart Clan Magazine says, "Alexander Stewart, born about 1665, was laird of Ledcreich, in Balquhidder, Perthshire. He married Catherine Stewart, daughter of Alexander Stewart, 'brother to Robert Stewart of Glenagle (sic, Glenogle), predecessor to John Stewart of Hindfield and Stronsor (sic, Stronvar).' His property had been diminished by reason of his father's support of Kings Charles I, Charles II and James II, and perhaps his own activities in 1715 in behalf of the Chevalier St.George (James Stuart). Sons: Patrick, c.1687: m. Elizabeth Menzies, settled in North Carolina in 1739; Robert; William." (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome C, April 1935, vol. xii, no. 10, p.115-116.) Twenty years later, Stewart Clan Magazine in the Dec. 1956 issue, updated its article on Alexander Stewart as follows: "Alexander Stewart, born about 1676 in Balquhidder parish, in western Perthshire, Scotland, was the only son of Gen. Patrick Stewart of Ledcreich, an officer in the armies of Kings Charles I, Charles II and James II. This Patrick, according to James Caraway in an interpolation in the manuscript genealogy of this family, written in 1763, "fought in 25 battles, besides skirmishes, and suffered much [financially] on account of his loyalty to the family." Alexander married Catherine Stewart, daughter of Alexander, "brother of Robert Stewart of Glenagle (sic, Glenogle), predecessor to John Stewart of Hyndfield, or Stronvar."" (Edson, George, Stewart Clan Magazine, Tome G, December 1956, vol. 34, no. 6, pp.177-179) Alexander is not mentioned in Duncan Stewart (1739). Gordon MacGregor, in The Red Book of Scotland, says: "Alexander Stewart, 4th of Lecreich, is stated to have been the only son of his father and whom he succeeded in the lands of Ledcreich. He married Catherine, daughter of Alexander Stewart, brother of Robert Stewart of Glenogle. He had issue." He goes on to provide an approximate date for Alexander's death, saying, "Patrick Stewart, 5th of Ledcreich, succeeded his father and purchased the feu of the lands of Ledcreich from James, Duke of Atholl, on 8 January 1731." | Stewart, Alexander 4th of Ledcreich and Stronslaney (I14613)
|
| 1412 | Alexander was the younger son of Thomas Smith and Helen Jaffrey, Heiress of Glassingall. As the younger son, the estate of Glassingall should have passed to his older brother, Thomas. However the estate went to Alexander instead. Allegedly, Thomas and Alexander fell in love with the same woman and struck a deal whereby Thomas gave up his rightful interest in the estate of Glassingall in exchange for Alexander withdrawing his love interest in the woman. Her name is lost to history. Their alleged real-life love triangle provided some of the inspiration for author Robert Louis Stevenson for the story in his novels, Kidnapped and Catriona, in which Alexander is portrayed very unflatteringly as the villanous and miserly character of Ebenezer Balfour of Shaws. The fictional estate of Shaws is based on the real life estate of Glassingall. Alexander also owned a townhouse, called Glassingall House, at 30 Bow Street in the town of Stirling. Alexander has not been identified in the 1841 census Alexander died intestate and without children in 1849 so the estate of Glassingall reverted to the Crown. The estate "had been destined by Alexander Stewart of Glassingall to the heirs whatsoever of his body, which failing, to his heirs male, descendants of his elder brother, John Stewart." (MacGregor, Gordon, Red Book of Scotland) 18 people laid claim to the estate, most of whom were distant relatives from among various descendant branches of the Stewarts of Annat. The ultimus haeres hearings lasted from 1849-1856. Ultimately, the court found in favour of his illegitamite nephew, Thomas Stuart Smith, finding that Alexander Smith had acknowledged his nephew, Thomas Stuart Smith, as his heir. Thomas Stuart Smith's real-life story provided the inspiration for the central character of Davie Balfour in Kidnapped and Catriona. | Smith, Alexander 4th of Glassingall (I21064)
|
| 1413 | Alexander went by the name "Sandy Rob" -- presumably so named as "Alexander" son of Robert". The Ardvorlich History shows no family for him. Stewarts of the South merely says that he was living with his father ca. 1818. Mrs. Stewart of Milton's account refers to this Alexander as "Alastir Rob" (which is equivalent to "Sandy Rob") in the following entry: "Alexander Stewart in Auchnahard was designed Alastir Donachie - Donachie being my grandfather (on father’s side). The other Alexander in Glenfinlas was Alastir Rob. Robert being my husband’s grandfather (uncle)." The deletions are preserved from the original text as Mrs Stewart appears to have been a little confused in her references. Robert Ban Stewart was her husband's grandfather and Alasitr Rob was her husband's uncle. | Stewart, Alexander in Auchnahard (I14374)
|
| 1414 | Alexander went by the nickname "Andy" Stuart. Andy is described in a family letter as grandson to Alexander Stuart, brother of Robert Stuart (the explorer). He possessed an armchair and candlestick which allegedly belonged originally to Rob Roy MacGregor and which had been passed to the Glenbuckie family and then to this family. | Stewart, Alexander (I14472)
|
| 1415 | Alexander's baptism is recorded on 09/03/1830 in Drymen but the 1841 census shows his birth as 1824. | Stewart, Alexander (I31094)
|
| 1416 | Alexander's baptism was witnessed by Charles Stewart and John McFarlane both in Doune. Alexander is presumed to be one of the three sons mentioned in Stewarts of the South as being a merchant in Glasgow. | Stewart, Alexander (I14268)
|
| 1417 | Alexander's baptism was witnessed by John and James Gibson both in Candy. | Stewart, Alexander (I14459)
|
| 1418 | Alexander's baptism was witnessed by John and Stephen McFarlane both in Carse of Cambus. Alexander is recorded in the Glasingall Court of Session records as "Alexander Stewart, presently of Carse of Cambus, only son of James Stewart (of Carse of Cambus), the present claimant." He was later in Blairdrummond Moss. According to the testimony of Robert Stewart in Buchany, from the Glasingall trial notes: "Declared that he was personally acquainted with Alexander Stewart late tenant in Carse of Cambus who is now at Blairdrummond Moss and that he was also acquainted with his father James Stewart who was tenant in Carse of Cambus, and was buried in Kilmadock Churchyard in 1826. That he also knew John Stewart Merchant in Kippen, who was the brother of James last mentioned, and the father of Dr Stewart of Glasgow, and John Graham Stewart also in Glasgow. Declares that the father of John and James above mentioned was Hugh Stewart, who was first a tenant in Ballacaish, under Mr Stewart of Craigton, which adjoins Annat, and afterwards in Carse of Cambus, and that Hugh is also buried in Kilmdaock Churchyard. That Hugh Stewart was first married to Margaret Buchanan, who was the mother of John Stewart in Kippen, and second to Janet [Duncandow] who was the mother of Janet Stewart in Carse of Cambus. That Hugh Stewart was son of John Stewart tenant first in Ballacaish aforesaid, and afterwards in Lendrick which was one of the forfeited farms on the Perth estate." | Stewart, Alexander 3rd of Carse of Cambus (I14485)
|
| 1419 | Alexander's birth family has not been identified. Alexander Stewart has not been found in the 1841 census. Sometime around 1842, at about age 39, Alexander became the schoolmaster at the Brig o' Turk school, where he served for 30 years until his death. In 1844, at age 41, Alexander Stewart married in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland to Anne Drummond Stewart from Brig o' Turk. In 1851, at age 48, Alexander Stewart was residing at Bridge of Turk in Callander, Perthshire, Scotland. He was employed as a schoolmaster. Residing with him were his wife, Ann Stewart, 46, his niece Marg McIntyre, 9, his niece Henrietta Ferguson, 16, and other non-related persons. In 1854, Alexander's wife, Ann Drummond Stewart, died. Sometimed between 1854-1861, Alexander is presumed to have married Mary Stewart, although no record of their marriage has been found. It is not known if Stewart is just her married name or also her birth name. In 1861, at age 58, Alexander was residing at Duncraggan, Callander Road Schoolhouse 8, in Callander parish, Perthshire, Scotland, with his new wife Mary Stewart, 44, and his nephew, Alexander Stewart, 20. He was employed as a schoolmaster. In 1871, at age 68, Alexander Stewart was residing at Bridge of Turk, Callander, Perthshire, Scotland with his wife Mary Stewart, born 1814 in Callander, and 36 year old Agnes Stewart, b 1835 in Stirling. On 30 Aug 1872, at age 72 (sic), Alexander Stewart died at Brig o' Turk and is buried in the Brig o' Turk cemetery with his first wife, Ann. ---------- Census 1851 - 19 Bridge of Turk, Callander Alexr Stewart 48 (Head) ; b. 1803 Balquhidder ; Schoolmaster Ann Stewart 46 (Wife) ; b. 1805 Callander ; Schoolmaster's Wife Marg McIntyre 9 (Niece) ; b. 1842 Kincardine ; Scholar Henrietta Ferguson 16 (Servant) ; b. 1835 Kincardine ; House Servant James Pitcairn Esqr 47 (Boarder) ; b. 1804 Forfarshire, Dundee ; Annuitant Revd Willm Monteith 28 (Boarder) ; b. 1823 [] ; Minister of the (Trosach) Church of Scotland Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions: 14-1808.

|
| 1420 | Alexander's birth is not recorded in the Comrie OPR, but is recorded in the Laggan family tree. Alexander married to Helen McNiven although no record of their marriage has been found. | Stewart, Alexander in Balimeanoch (I14759)
|
| 1421 | Alexander's birth is recorded in the Balquhidder parish register as taking place on 11 Sep 1707 in Ledcreich, Balquhidder, Perthshire, Scotland as the son of Alexander and Catherine Stewart. Alexander is believed to have died before adulthood. Duncan Stewart (1739) makes no mention of him. His older brother, Patrick Stewart, in his 1763 family history makes no mention of a brother named Alexander. Stewart Clan Magazine makes no mention of Alexander Stewart in its multiple articles on this family. Yet all three of these sources reference Alexander's brothers, Patrick, Robert, and William. If Alexander had survived to adulthood at least one of these sources would have mentioned him. Several online trees erroniously conflate this Alexander Stewart with a different Alexander Stewart who was born in 1707 in Londonderry, Ireland and allegedly migrated to North Carolina, USA. As we have the record of this Alexander being born in Balquhidder, then Alexander in Londonderry could not be the same person. | Stewart, Alexander (I14392)
|
| 1422 | Alexander's birth is recorded in the Kilmadock OPR as, "19 Nov 1738, Alexander, son of Alexr STUART and Isobell MILLAR in Borblack? (sic, Powblack) Witt. James Fisher and John Harvie there." Alexander is presumed to have died young as Stewarts of the South indicates that his father only had two surviving sons. | Stewart, Alexander (I14386)
|
| 1423 | Alexander's birth is recorded twice in the Balquhidder OPR on 28 SEP 1726 and 18 OCT 1726. Most likely the first entry is his date of birth and the second is his baptism. | Stewart, Alexander (I14352)
|
| 1424 | Alexander's cousin, Dr. David Stewart, son of Alexander Stewart, 10th of Glenbuckie, in his will says, "I David Stewart at Brainchyle son of Alexander Stewart of Glenbuckie nominate Alexander Stewart my cousin, lawful son of Deceased Donald Stewart sometime tanner in Edinburgh and his heirs which failing Donald Stewart brother of Alexander Stewart also my cousin and his heirs to be my executors." John Stewart of Ardvorlich in the Stewarts of Ardvorlich Supplement (Glenbuckie Section) states incorrectly that Alexander died without children prior to Nov. 1766. Alexander Stewart was named in 1766 in the petition of his mother on behalf of Alexander and his brother Donald Stewart, who were named as executors to the late Dr. David Stewart in Breanachoile, but were in Jamaica at the time of David Stewart's death and were unable to appear as executors. Thus James Stewart, Younger of Tarr (a cousin by marriage), was appointed Factor in their stead. | Stewart, Alexander (I14380)
|
| 1425 | Alexander's date of birth is according to family records and has not been verified. Alexander descends from the Glenogle family at an unknown point. It is suggested that he is mostly likely a grandson of Alexander Stewart, 1st in Auchtow, (shown above under 5 Line - Stewarts in Auchtow) through an unknown younger son, although it is possible that he could be descended from an earlier line. However the fact that Cuilt is located adjacent to Auchtow suggests that the Cuilt family descend from Auchtow. Furthermore, as the Achra branch, a later cadet branch, also descends from Auchtow then it would seem that Cuilt must descend from Auchtow in order to remain senior to the Achra branch. It is entirely possible that this Alexander could be identical with Alexander 4th in Wester Auchtow. Alexander lived "in the valley of the Balvaig (River), known as Strathyre". (SCM, May 1938, p.C318). According to a later family letter, an ancestor of this family "took up arms in the cause of the First Pretender" (in 1715). This reference most likely refers to this Alexander Stewart, but may refer to one or more of his elder sons, or both. This service to "The King Across The Water" may be the source of the military connection between the Stewarts in Cuilt and Clan Grant in Upper Strathspey and the other Moray families. An erroneous family tradition describes this Alexander as "the famous Alexander Stuart who bested Rob Roy in his last duel." However the Alexander Stewart who bested Rob Roy was Alexander Stewart of Invernahyle (see Glenfinglas Stewarts) whose duel with Rob Roy became the subject of Sir Walter Scott's book, Waverly.) | Stewart, Alexander in Strathyre (I14716)
|
| 1426 | Alexander's exact birth place is not recorded in the Balquhidder OPR. His mother's name is given as "Grisel STEWART of Muillian parish". | Stewart, Alexander (I14367)
|
| 1427 | Alexander's exact birthdate is unknown. He is slotted in-between the known births of his siblings as a best guess. We do not know if Alexander married or had children. | Stewart, Alexander (I14396)
|
| 1428 | Alexander's existence is uncertain. If he existed then it's possible that he should be accounted as "1st" in Cuilt. Alexander's existence is inferred only from the Statistics of Annexed (Jacobite) Estates 1755-56, cited above, in which he is listed ahead of James Stewart in Cuilt suggesting (though not conclusively) that he was an elder brother to James Stewart, 1st in Cuilt. It is not known if he had any children. | Stewart, Alexander (I14764)
|
| 1429 | Alexander's existence is uncertain. He is placed here as a present best guess. The first cadet branch of the Glenogle Stewarts is a family of Stewarts living in Monachyle at the west end of the Braes of Balquhidder. For the longest time this branch eluded reconstruction. Our presentation of this line is not proven, and may never be so unless some miraculous new documents materialize out of the ether. But barring any such startling revelations we believe we have successfully reconstructed the most likely arrangement of the Monachyle Stewarts. The earliest mention of any Stewart in Monachyle comes from the following bond: 1557 - Bond by Andro Stewart in Gartnafoir, Johne Stewart in Kirkton of Buchquhiddir his brother, Robert Stewart in Tullich, Alexander Stewart in Monochaill, Alexander Stewart son to John Roy Stewart, to Duncan Campbell of Glenurquhay giving him their calp and also to get as many of their friends, surname, and others as they can. Witnesses. Walter Stewart in Balliefulzie, Patrick Stewart in Glenbuckie, Duncan Stewart in Branchaill. At the Caudmoir 15th Novr. 1557 (Cosmo Innes, Black Book of Taymouth). Stewarts of the South indicates that the Monachyle family were the most senior surviving branch of the Glenogle Stewarts. However, it is chronologically impossible for the Alexander Stewart in Monachyle mentioned in the above testament to be a descendant of the Glenogle branch which did not yet exist in 1557. This Alexander would be contemporary with Robert Stewart, predecessor of Glenogle (or perhaps one generation earlier). Thus, Alexander's male line must have failed in some manner and Monachyle passed to the Glenogle family at a later date -- either through inheritance, marriage or purchase. If Monachyle passed to the Glenogle family by inheritance (as we are supposing) then Alexander must be of the closest possible relationship to Robert Stewart, predecessor in Glenogle. We note that Robert has no known brother named Alexander and onomastics would demand that his father, Alexander Stewart, 2nd of Gartnafuaran, should have a son named Alexander. Thus, for now, we are suggesting that the most likely placement for this Alexander is as a son of Alexander Stewart, 2nd of Gartnafuaran. We are suggesting that the line of Alexander Stewart, 1st in Monachyle, failed in some manner, and that the property passed laterally to the next in line, namely, Robert, predecessor of Glenogle. Upon Duncan McRobert Stewart receiving these properties we are suggesting that Duncan assigned his largest estate, Glenogle, to his eldest son, and his next most promising estate, Monachyle, to his second son (and similarly for Auchtow to his third son.) However, the above bond also presents the greatest challenge to our accounting of Alexander Stewart, 1st in Monachyle. We are suggesting that he was a younger brother of Andrew Stewart, 3rd in Gartnafuaran and an older brother of John Stewart in Kirkton. Andrew and John are mentioned in the 1557 bond as being brothers. However, Alexander in Monachyle is not styled as brother to either of these. If he was their brother, why would the bond not say so. An argument from absence is never sufficient -- just because it doesn't say he was their brother is not proof that he wasn't. However it does seem unusual. This association is made even weaker by the fact that Alexander is separated in the list from his suggested brothers by Robert Stewart in Tullich. If we have correctly accounted for Alexander Stewart, 1st in Monachyle, then it is suggested that he had no surviving heirs as Monachyle appears next as a possession of Duncan Stewart, grandson of Robert Stewart, predecessor of Glenogle. We are suggesting that Monachyle passed from Alexander Stewart, 1st in Monachyle, at the time of his death, to his younger brother Robert's son, Duncan McRobert Stewart, 3rd in Glenogle. We are suggesting that Duncan McRobert assigned his senior property, Glenogle, to his eldest son and his next property, Monachyle, to his second son (and similarly for Auchtow to his third son.) | Stewart, Alexander 1st in Monachyle (I14626)
|
| 1430 | Alexander's existence is uncertain. There is no record of his birth in the Balquhidder OPR. He is listed only in Chuck Speed's genealogy of the Ledcreich Stewarts and his recorded as having died at birth. However, there is no source information provided for the record. Alexander is not mentioned in his father's 1763 genealogy, however, this could simply be because he died at birth. | Stewart, Alexander? (I14393)
|
| 1431 | Alexander's identity is purely theoretical and is suggested only from onomastics. It is presumed he died young. | Stewart, Alexander? (I14705)
|
| 1432 | Alexander's marital status at his death is shown as "married". His brother Matthew was the informant. Curiously, his length of residency in Ontario is given as 35 years although he was 45 years old. | McCulloch, Alexander Lawson (I9833)
|
| 1433 | Alexander's marriage record lists him as "a farmer at Back Borland." His age in 1841 is given as 60 and his place of birth was Stirlingshire. Alexander resided at the Milton of Chapelaroch where his wife is recorded as having died. "Alexander Stewart, Farmer at Back Borland and Agnes McAlpine, servant there, both in this parish, listed for proclamation of Banns this 16th Day of February 1830." (Drymen Parish Register) Alexander is recorded in Stewarts of the South as having resided at the Milton of Cubail-Larach in Drymen. Cubail-Larach and Chapelaroch are certainly the same place with the latter most likely being an Anglo-corruption of the earlier Gaelic name. Alexander's name is wrongly given in Stewarts of the South as "Andrew". He is recorded as being firstly a weaver, like his father, and latterly a miller at Cubail-Larach. He is recorded as being unmarried at the time of Stewarts of the South (ca. 1820) which is consistent with his later marriage to Agnes McAlpine in 1830. In 1835, Alexander Stewart is listed in the Drymen Parish Communion Examination Roll as residing at Tuair, not far from Back Borland, along with his wife and Janet Stewart, believed to be his sister. ("Alex’r and Mrs Stewart, Janet Stewart in Tuair.") In 1841, at age 60, Alexander Stewart was residing at Milton (of Drymen), Drymen, Stirlingshire, Scotland, with his wife and son, William. He was employed as an agricultural labourer. Alexander has not been found in 1851 or later records and is presumed to have died between 1841-1851. | Stewart, Alexander in Back Borland (I14495)
|
| 1434 | 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.

| 1435 | Alexander's middle name is frequently rendered incorrectly in online genealogies as "MACLAIN." (The middle letter is a capital 'i' not a lowercase 'L'.) His middle name is his patronymic, "mac Iain" (son of John). Alexander was the founder of the Stewarts of Annat. He is believed to be the Alexander "M'ean" (mac Iain, or "son of John") referred to in the following documents. His son Walter's byname, "Meandowie" (son/descendant of Iain Dubh, or "son/descendant of Black John") suggests that Alexander's father was known as John Dubh. 1623 - Alexander S. alias M'ean. John, Archibald, and Andrew, his sons. Walter M'eandowie alias Stewart (Alexander mac Iain Stewart, (latterly) 1st of Annat, and his sons, John Stewart, future 2nd of Annat, Archibald Stewart, ancestor of Glassingall, Andrew Stewart, latterly in Ardcheanochdan, and Walter Mceandowie Stewart, in Glenfinglas.) (His sons) 1639 John, Alaster, and Walter Stewarts in Glen. Vol. III p.48, tenants to the Earl of Moray Duncan Stewart (1739) says: "Alexander, who purchased the lands of Annat from James Muschet of Burnbank anno 1621. He married ___ MacNab, daughter to Aucharn, by whom he had John, Walter, Andrew and James. He had likewise Archibald, great-grandfather to Alexander Stewart of Glassingall, writer in Stirling." Duncan Stewart accounts for the family of Annat as a separate branch from the Stewarts of Ardvorlich, whereas Stewarts of the South accounts for them as a cadet branch of the Stewarts of Ardvorlich. As the Annat family descends from a brother of Alexander Stewart, 1st of Ardvorlich, rather than a son, then Duncan Stewart's accounting is preferred. We account for the Stewarts of Annat as a fourth principal family, alongside the Stewarts of Ardvorlich, Glenbuckie, and Gartnafuaran. Sometime around 1620, the Annat family complained to James Beag Stewart, 2nd of Ardvorlich, after he received a beneficial tack of Glenfinglas and portioned it among the principal branches of the Baldorran Stewarts, because he left out the Annat family. The dating makes it likely that it was Alexander Stewart, 1st of Annat, who complained about being left out of the Glenfinglas tack. The Annat family were then given a one-eighth share of Glenfinglas, which, from later accountings, would appear to have been the property of Auchnahard in Glenfinglas. It is not recorded who from Annat initially resided in Auchnahard, however since the Ardvorlich History claims that the later John Buidhe Mor was preceded by "a John or two" then it seems likely that the Auchnahard portion probably went first to John Stewart, future 2nd Laird of Annat, while Alexander was still alive. It seems likely that John, future 2nd of Annat, likely held Auchnahard until his father's death, at which point he would have inherited the principal estate of Annat, to become John Stewart, 2nd of Annat, which would be when his natural son, John Buidhe Mor probably took possession of the tack in Glenfinglas. Alexander's gravestone is amazingly still intact. According to Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions, it reads: "(foot stone. Marginal.) Hier lyes the richt worthiey and honourabel Alexander STEWART of Annet died 14 JAN 1647, age 76. shield with horse.)" | Stewart, Alexander mac Iain Dubh in Glen Finglas 2nd of Portnellan and 1st of Annat (I14774)
|
| 1436 | Alexander's name is not certain. It is derived from the fact that both his sons had eldest sons named Alexander. Mitchell's Monumental Inscriptions shows a family of Fergusons in Stronvar back to 1700 commencing with a John Ferguson. | Ferguson, Alexander? (I21996)
|
| 1437 | Alexander's place of birth is partially illegible and is given as "~idstridan" in the Balquhidder parish register. Alexander is not mentioned in Stewarts of the South and is not found in other later records. He is presumed to have died young. | Stewart, Alexander (I14361)

| 1444 | All online trees incorrectly show this John Stewart as the son of Duncan Stewart in Ardess and Margaret McFarlane (shown elsewhere in this database). John Stewart is presumed to have been born about 1770 in Stirlingshire, Scotland, although no record of his birth has been found. His date of birth is estimated based on the dates of his marriage and the births of his children. Onomastics would suggest that his parents were named William and Mary. The baptism of his first child, Jean in 1800 lists Robert Stewart in Boquhan as a witness. Robert is presently believed to be John's older brother. "1800, Sept 7th, Jean, law'l Dau'r to John Stewart and Janet Logan Burnfoot (Burnford), was Bap'd before these witnesses James Buchanan at Croy and Robert Stewart at Boquhan."

| 1446 | All sources except MacGregor indicate that James MacRory (or MacRuari) was the son of Angus, son of Somerled of the Isles. MacGregor follows the patronymic and indicates that James was the son of Roderick (synonym for Ruari), but does not give Ruari's origin. All other sources show the relationship as presented here with James being the son of Angus with no explanation for the patronym. Since Angus' brother was named Ruari/Roderick and his descendants became known as MacRuari/MacRory, it may be that James took the name of his uncle as a means of clan association. It may also be that there is a generation missing and perhaps James was the son of Ruari, son of Angus, son of Somerled. What is known is that the Lords of the Isles were descended in some manner from Somerled. No satisfactory explanation yet exists for the mystery of James MacRory. | MacRory, James Lord of Bute and Arran (I9139)

| 1447 | All we know of this John Stewart is that he existed and was named in the testament of his father: "Testament of John dow beg Stewart in Murlagan who died in November of 1669 given up by John Stewart his son." We have no information about whether or not John Stewart ever married or had any children. Nothing more is known of him. | Stewart, John (I16673)

| 1449 | Allan is found in 1891 resresiding in Galt, teamster with his wife Jennie b 1866 in Ontario. Allan has not been found in 1901. In 1911 he was residing at 1436 Graveley, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with his unmarried daughter Mamie, but without his wife. He is shown as married, not widowed, so it's possible that Jennie was away. Allan was working as a manager at an oil company in 1911. | Stewart, Allan James (I14731)

| 1450 | Allan is listed in the Invernahyle genealogy in The Scottish Journal. No further information is given. | Stewart, Allan (I14729)
